Hello everyone, sorry I'm running late again, I don't even have a good excuse like studying for tests or anything like that this time. The rest of last week was pretty laid back. Two Thursdays ago was Father's Day in Spain, so we didn't have school. Because of this, a lot of people skipped school on Friday to go traveling, so there were only 3 of us in class, so we played games in two of the classes, pretty relaxed. The weekend as a whole has very low key, I didn't do much other than go to an outlit mall and regular mall, church on Sunday, and a friend from church's concert. The concert was really fun; I ended up being the only American that went, so I hung out at the concert with one of the girls from our Bible Study. Afterwards she introduced me to a few people, and then I went to Burger King to eat some dinner, and as I was eating, the people I had just met came walking in! They invited me to sit with them, so I got to hang out with them and practice my Spanish.
The past week was normal, didn't do anything too exciting, just school and school work, with Bible Study (always a high point of the week) thrown in. Friday night I went out to Pizza Hut with some friends and had some nice greasy pizza, and then a few of us went to a supermarket and split some ice cream. I made sure not to be out too late, because today we had an excurision, and had to leave at seven in the morning. The bus ride was about 3 hours both ways, so I was able to get a little sleep there and back, as hard as that is for me on a bus. They don't really make seats for tall people. We went to Las Médulas, an old Roman gold mine. This trip was quite different from our normal ones where we go see cathedrals and castles, but it was a good change. We did a lot of hiking, including up a big hill (everyone was dying on the way up), and got to go into a few caves. Going up the hill was tough, but the view from up top was amazing and worth it in my mind. I'm going to put a picture or two up, but they don't really do it justice. I went out with friends tonight, but came back early so I can get enough sleep for church tomorrow. Ah yes, also, we have our time change tonight, so I will once again be 7 hours ahead of everyone back in the states.
Just in case you haven't heard yet, my parent's sold our house and are going to move before I get back. Well ok, I did know about this before hand, but I still think it sounds funny and makes for a good story. We're going to stay in/around Eau Claire, but at this point haven't found anything. Well I better get to bed here, so have a good night and enjoy the pictures!
as i was skimming through this, since that's how i read your entries, i was suddenly shocked to read '...and as I was eating the people I had just met'
ReplyDeleteand for a second i worried that you had joined some cannibalistic cult, but fortunately i was mistaken.
