We left for the Azores at night crossing into a timezone 4 hours ahead. That was brutal. Upon arrival, we had some time to unwind from the flight but shortly ended up at the University of Azores. We attended lectures from the professors that we a majority of us were able to be awake for after basically skipping sleep for the night before. The first lecture welcomed us to the Azores and discussed the plants and vegetation across the islands and how they play a role in the history and community of the islands. After a break, we attended another lecture that involved a miniature walking tour. We learned about the architecture and city planning around the Ponta Delgada. Afterward, despite being tired the whole group, who already knew each other from previous classes, bonded the experience of staying up all night together and the Game of Thrones season finale.
