May 13, 2011

Today was a really fun day. Class was long, which was unfortunate, but I'm still learning and that's all that matters! 

Our lunch was really yummy! She made rice with a really yummy marinara sauce that went on top! It was one of my favorite lunches thus far! 

At 4, we went on a tour of the two main cathedrals of Salamanca. The cathedrals were amazing, but the tour lasted 2 and a half hours! It was way cool though! She showed us a crack inside the cathedral that happened because of an earthquake in Portugal! Then, it reminded me that I never mentioned the earthquake that happened here in Spain! This week, in Lorca, there was an earthquake that killed 10 people. Lorca is in southern Spain and Liliana was really nervous that we wouldn't be able to go to Sevilla, which is also in southern Spain. But it's far enough away that we should be okay. 

After our dinner of soup and salad, we went to go meet up with our friends to play cards. We planned on playing at Kelsey and Breana's apartment, but when we got to their apartment, they said that their mom said we couldn't. So, we all just sat on the sidewalk and played the What If game. We played until around 12:30, and then Adelay and I walked home. On the way home, there were these boys that were sitting on the side of the street and they started talking to us in Spanish, so we just kept walking, even though we understood them. Then they started talking in English in high voices and said, "We don't speak Spanish!" and started giggling like they were mimicking us. It was pretty funny. 

Anyway, that's all! Ciao!
