Lay out at the beach for the day.
(Note: this is made easier if the place you're staying is less than a block from the Mediterranean).
Our journey here was uneventful, which I think is the best thing you can hope for with international travel. Isn't it amazing to think that in the time it takes me to watch 4 entire movies, I can travel from the west coast of the US to western Europe? (Props to Delta for having an excellent movie selection).
The only funny story of the trip so far happened today. Courtney and I were napping at my dad's apartment when we were woken up by a stranger's voice inside the apartment. I sort of freaked out and started screaming--not just startled, but screamed. Courtney turns to me, tells me to stop screaming, then has a conversation with the stranger through the bedroom door. Turns out she was just the landlady who had come to check out the Internet because it hadn't been working the day before. When she left Courtney couldn't help but ask: "It was a woman's voice--what did you think was going to happen?" I still can't really answer that question. Just something about being in a foreign country I don't quite trust yet combined with jet lag produced some serious overreaction on my part. Courtney and I keep spontaneously bursting into laughter whenever we think of the incident. I've a feeling this will become an oft repeated embarrassing story of mine.
Tomorrow we leave for our excursion to Petra, the Red Sea, and the pyramids, so stay tuned!
