what an eventful last couple of days! yesterday (friday) after school, jenny & i took siestas pretty much until our ISA meeting that evening and walked around a bit. last night we went to a get together at our friend from school enrique's house for kind of a house-warming party b/c he and his friends just moved in to a new apartment. katie, jenny, deeps & i walked there and it wasn't very far. it was a reallly nice apartment & there were a bunch of friends from school there. it was a really great get-together. very laid back and lots of good conversation. it was so fun to speak in spanish all night with other kids my age (a group of them were from brazil, so they don't exactly speak english). anyway, we talked about futbol and americans & school & laughed lots. we went home pretty early to rest for our great big day of our excursion to SALAMANCA today!
hooray...salamanca was BEAUTIFUL. i loved it. i secretly think i might like it more than madrid, but who really knows since i was there for all of 6 hours. it was just very very different. it had much less of a big-city feel than madrid does, and it was more of the image of spain you have when you're imagining it--very rustic and spanish-feeling (i'm not sure what that "spanish-feeling" means, but it seems to evoke a very particular feeling and image)...it was really beautiful. obviously i took loads of photos and will send them out soon. it was so much fun, i really liked it. it was organized through our school, and enough kids to fill 1 charter bus went, i got lucky i signed up early enough... we learned lots and saw lots and walked lots and i loved it. i hope you enjoy the photos.
and then tonight, jonathan got here! (my friend from stanford) and i got to go over to his homestay and have dinner, which was really nice. it was so great to see a familiar face!
i miss everyone a lot. especially chico, he is in limon for a retreat for his business concentration that will start soon, and i haven't talked to him in a couple of days. hopefully he is having fun! love you all
