Day 3/Wednesday

Day three began with breskfast at the Cantina. As a vegetarian i got two poached eggs,  two pieces of bread with butter and apricot jam,  three slices of cheese, a small cup of coffee, and a mug of delicous berry tea. Almost no added sugar! Then we met with the vice rector professor Darabus and some of the college faculty. They showed us around all the different departments like food science where they gave us fresh baked lemon cookies they just made, genetics, soil science, vet, etc. Then we went to the extension part ehich was kinda interesting like our 4-h extension ag area. I had alittle of some very very strong coffee too. The interesting thing was i recoconized most of the lab equoiment as well as some words. The equipment and facilities are very similar to ours but on a much smaller scale. Some of the equipment was more modern than ours and visa versa. The vet area was just like my clinic aside from i guess what you could say as slickness and homeyness. The anatomy lab was cool and even had a male wolf reproductive tract specimen. The hands on discescion lab they onserve parts of horses. Some things i learned were: They are better at regulating their vegetables as far as food safety goes. They dont have undergrad so instead it is 6 years of vet school. The most common parasite is both types of mange, snd parvo for infectious disease. After the tour, the class went to the library for Wi-Fi. However, since the cantina didnt have anything vegetarian today,  Dr. Ebner and Dr. Micu took Josie,Lavinia, Adela, and i to a vegetarian indian restaurant downtown. The food was good thiugh not exactly what i expected. Then since we had time,  we went to a small tsvern like coffee place. Since Ebner was cracking ginger jokes, Lavinia went and got us ginger beer which is basically ginger ale , or as Ebner calls it, thr drink of my people. Dr. Mircu told us about how he didnt smile in a photo once and asked his friend if he could fix it and the next day, the guy sent him the picture with Tom Cruz's face on his body. We met up with the group in thr square at the museum of art. It was neat but ee couldnt take pictures. It was also very hot in there. Then we went to thr Catholic church which was very pretty. Then we went to walk around where we went to a shoe place cuz Josie's shoes were falling apart , souviner shop, and then the Orthodox church. It was neat but they just have seats outlining the walls named after saints andthe rest of theoeople stand for two hurs during the mass. There was also a tiny saints body in glass, though yiu only saw his robes,  snd in a small part on the top was one of his fingers which was supposed tovsmell perfumey, but i didnt smell anything. Then we went to Shoarma which is like fast food for them. I got a yummy falafel this time but next i want to try the actual shoarma minus the meat. IT'S THE SAME RESTAURANT THAT THE AVENGERS WENT TO IN NEW YORK AT THE END SCEN! Yes i am  a dork. Then we went to the opera house for what we all thought wasto be an opera but it was actually a ballet called Giselle.  It was good.  We also went on the balcony during intermission to see the sqaure. It was beautiful. Then we all returned to the dorms and went to sleep.
