THIS PLACE IS SO HOT. Don't get me wrong, I'm having a great time, but I'm also living in an oven.
So, I did the class thing for two days, and it seems like they're going to be challenging, but bearable. We've been going out every night, which is a really great way to meet the people here. I've been striking up conversations with random people and I can already feel my Spanish improving.
On Friday morning, we took a tour of the city, which was cool, but we didn't go in anywhere, which surprised me. Our tour guide was really entertaining, and we got to put everywhere we've been going in the context of the city as a whole.
Our school will pack a picnic for lunch or dinner for you if you ask, so yesterday, about 10 of us decided to picnic on a hill outside of the city and watch the sunset. BEST. IDEA. EVER. The walk was really long, but when we got to the picnic area, we could see the whole city at dusk and it just looked really cool. We took 8 bottles of wine with us, and made our new favorite drink... tinto de verano, which is lemon Fanta mixed with red wine (which is 2 E a bottle here). It was pretty much an all-you-can-drink event, and it only cost 2 E a person when all was said and done! It was great. Check out facebook to see my pictures when I load them.
We're planning weekend trips to Pamplona, Barcelona, Madrid, and maybe even the southern-most tip of Spain. Everyone here is great, I'm meeting a lot of new people from other schools, which is awesome. People are going all over Europe, so I feel like I'll have a lot of suggestions for when Ashley and I go around in August (which seems so far away right now, but I know it will be here so soon).
Miss you all, have some Chipotle/P.F. Chang's/Mad Mex for me!
