Do my morning yoga and then head over to Manoel island to check out its fort and walk around a bit. The fort/island is more or less in disrepair but there are a few places to get in the water and what not which is cool how the city puts in these ladders so that people can enter the water all over the place. Island has cats all over the place as well.

| Many more beautiful balconies and colors walking through the streets |

| Churches over here always have closed doors for some reason |

Once I am done walking around there, go across the street to grab a juice from eeetwell which is a chain with decent food/juice options. After that, head south to explore Ta Xbiex which has a bunch of embassies on it and loads of old buildings overlooking the marina. Eventually get rained on a bit so decide to start heading back. Get back and have some tea while waiting to meet up with Marc. He gets off work and we walk over to La Luz which is a favorite happy hour place of his (2 for 1 so I understand why- also the drinks were really good). As we are sipping on our drinks, a friend of his comes by and we hang out for a bit. After happy hour, we go grab some bottles of wine, order some pizzas and just chill at his place the rest of the night enjoying said pizza and wine.
