Pensacola

It's like really amazing that we can take a DAY trip to Florida.  Me and about 20 of the interns went to Pensacola Beach for the day and it was only an hour drive.  Amazing.  The day was super relaxing, which we all kind of needed after last night.

SO last night we went out for one of the interns birthday in downtown Mobile on Dauphin Street.  We were supposed to go to Studio 54 which is a dance club, but it was dead so instead we went to Club Atlantis instead.  So on our way in the intern whose birthday it was approached the bouncer and told him it was her birthday and asked if he could let us jump the line.  Southern hospitality.  He let a group of about 10-15 people jump the line that was about a 2 hour wait.  AND none of us had to pay cover-- $10 for girls/$20 for guys.  It was epic.  The club was so fun.  Out of the white people in our group, we were the only white people in the club.  At one point the DJ decided to shine the spotlight on all of us in the middle of the dance floor-- which only highlighted the fact that us white girls can't dance.  So funny.  After we left the club me and my roommate talked the hot dog stand man into giving us free hot dogs since we were visiting-- it worked.  Southern hospitality.

Today the beach was amazing.  It was 82, barely a cloud in the sky, and the water was basically clear and warm.  I loved it.  We all just relaxed and swam all day and eventually got seafood at this amazing crab restaurant, yum.  The day was spent exchanging life stories which was really interesting and touching.  Everyone is from such a different and diverse background which makes getting to know them so unique and real.  Everyone's great and I'm really enjoying it down here.  I miss everyone, especially my family... really wish they could be down here with me!
