Around the island in the past few days I have been running into cadets exploring the natural beauty of the island in a variety of ways. A good number went on a bus tour of the island, organized by Regimental Affairs, which took them to the peaks of the volcano, swimming in a naturally heated spring, and eating food cooked in the bubbling hot springs. I also met cadets, accompanied by hired local guides, riding vehicles ranging from four-wheeled ATVs to two-wheeled motorbikes and bicycles, as well as segways. A handful of cadets took long hikes and went on long runs; some organized their own diving trips. Today was a warm, sunny day, so the beach was also a great draw.

Oh, yes, cadets have been writing, too—letters
and postcards were steadily collecting in the ship’s mailbox. By the way, mail
sent to the Azores was not forwarded to Iceland after all and has been
distributed to the cadets.
