Its been dreary since Wednesday. Freezing actually. I survived my first full week of classes! And my first exam!! That's exciting. Hmm, what all have I done since my last post? Well yesterday, Jobie and I searched Expedia for ages until we found a good hotel in Rome, and we booked a bed & breakfast near the Travistiere (sp?) Fountain.
Last night, we went to a huge, 7 floor discoteca with about 15 kids from the group. It was a ton of fun. There's definitely nothing like that in America.
Today we went to the Prado, which is a HUGE, incredible art museum. One of our classes is about art in the Prado, so it was cool to finally go. Every year, our Spanish teachers feel it necessary to talk about art and paintings and artists, blah blah blah, which I'm not too interested in but its not awful. It was definitely neat though to actually see a lot of the very famous paintings I have learned about for so long. Just another one of the cool things I get to do while I'm here.
Another awesome thing about Spain is the fruit... It is always so fresh and delicious. You never bite into a fresh peach that is just mediocre- everything is always awesome. The only downside is Consuelo will buy 10 peaches or bananas that are already ripe so we can never eat them all before they go bad. We're trying paella tonight for dinner, a super popular dish here. The one bummer dish here: pizza. I'm excited to go to Italy and eat the pizza there. Italian food is my favorite :)
Tomorrow we're visiting Toledo, hopefully the weather clears up!
