a few days later

so i suck at blogging because i only use the computer at school and i don´t have a lot of time

tonight amy and i are going to walk around our neighborhood, maybe i´ll find an internet cafe so i can check my mail during the weekend. speaking of weekends this is basically the plan for the rest of my time here...

this weekend there is a free jazz concert in the park on thursday. and from saturday to sunday i am going to madrid with katie and heather. the prado is free on sundays and we wanted to see more of the monuments-since we really only had a day there. the weekend after i will be in barcelona from thursday to sunday. the next weekend katie, heather and i are going to sevilla and granada.  and then the weekend after kim, kara, katie, heather and i are going to pisa and florence.

then i was supposed to come home the fourth....but the girls and i are going to stay in paris so i´ll be home on the seventh...

everything here has been good. things i have eaten- cauliflower, clams, and an assortment of other things that i can´t name and didn´t ask about....

normally during the day i go to school, go back to the house for lunch and a siesta, and then i will meet friends. we usually go ot the beach or walk around the city. we go to barrio carmen which is in the center of the city. my favorite thing here so far was climbing the bell tower at the cathedral in valencia. the view of the city is amazing and it´s very quiet and peaceful at the top of the tower.  (E- kind of perfect for looking at the stars...but i think it closes around 9)

oh also on thursday was our welcome dinner. we went out for tapas. and it was pretty good- a lot of fish that i ate and could not identify. and then after we all went to a club, the caribbean. it was like the IB at school but slightly smaller and sketchier...and spanish. and people here go out much later than at geneseo. we didn´t finish dinner until 12:30, so we got home around 5am. (without getting lost!)

my señora is really nice but she likes to yell at me because she doesn´t think that i eat enough...she´s always like what, you´re full? i think you are sick, here eat an apple. and when she makes us bocadillos (sandwiches) they are huge because she uses about half a baguette for each one.

i miss peanut butter- they don´t really have it here

but there was this fabulous ice cream- nata con gaelltas which is cookies and cream, but they put this fudge in it...

i am excited because some of the other girls also want to see harry potter here...so i am excited for that besides the trips...

ok i should go homework

miss you all!
