Wednesday:
Today Bailey and
I went, once again, to the library to get books for our history
papers. My paper is a biography of Hernán Cortés.
Lunch: Chicken
and rice, it tasted like home :)

| The computer lab at school |
Most of the kids
in our class are going to Peñafiel, a little town with a castle,
this weekend. Bailey and I walked to the bus station today to buy
our tickets ahead of time and to find out how much they were for
everyone else. The walk was about 1.7 miles one way, and it was 100
degrees. 100 degrees here is not as bad as home because there's no
humidity (it was 11%) but it was still a long walk for that weather.
When we got there, the ticket seller told us that we can't buy the
tickets ahead of time and we have to get them on Saturday. Although
it was a good walk, it was still frustrating. We didn't even
remember to ask how much they would cost. We went back to the school
for movie night right after our walk.
Supper:
Tortillas de patatas
Thursday:
Lunch: Fried ham
and cheese things, pasta, yogurt
We took a long
siesta today, then went to the school and worked on homework in the
computer lab for a couple hours. For our conversation “test”
tomorrow, we'll be given a topic, and we just have to talk to each
other (in pairs) in front of the professor for ten minutes. Bailey
and I went over the possible topics and practiced conversing for
awhile. We won't find out which topic we'll have until tomorrow.
The possible topics are: my life in Spain, cultural stereotypes of
Spaniards and Americans, food and drink, and cultural differences
between Spain and the U.S.
Supper: Salad,
eggs, french fries, and peaches (melocotones). I think they peel
their peaches here too.
Run: 1.5 miles,
then workout stations on beach
