Sunday

Well this was my first Sunday in Valladolid, and about 6 of us checked out a church recommended to us by some of our friends who had studied abroad in Valladolid in the past and had really like the church. I had a GREAT time. Soon after we sat down one of the men from the church came over and introduced himself, so we got to talk with him a little bit, as well as with the girls in front of us, who were members of the same study abroad program as us, but from Stevens Point. It was really nice to just be able to worship, even if it was in a different language (some of the songs had been translated from English, so I recognized some of the tunes). I'm pleased to say that I understood a majority of the sermon, and was able to get something out of it. I'm really looking forward to spending more time at this church, and getting to know the people more. After lunch I had an urge to go out walking through the city by myself, so I did. I got over to the Plaza Mayor, and there just happened to be a girl from my school there, waiting for another girl from Eau Claire. We went into a cafe in the plaza, and I had Chocolate con churros (which was really good). The chocolate is really rich, it's almost like drinking liquid chocolate (hence the name, no?). While we were sitting there, four others from our program came walking in randomly, and we ended up hanging out for a good hour and a half. I've got school tomorrow, so I probably won't be up as late tonight (meaning not 3 or 4, which is actually kinda early for over here). Buenas noches!
