1. Everyone shops at all hours of the day...I pretty much wander the stores at least once a day on my way back from class but I'm trying not to spend too much money.
2. Chocolate croissants...Practically right outside my door is this place called Casita del pan, they have the best desserts and croissants ever. And they are only 1 euro and SO big.
3. The plazas, each plaza has a name and a really cool fuente. And at each intersection there is a plaza so that makes for a lot of fountains.
4. You can wear anything and call it an outfit, some of the things I have seen I wouldn't choose for myself but there is definitely no pressure getting dressed in the morning(or afternoon depending on the day haha)
5. Tinto de verano...wine mixed with fanta límon. Easiest to order and drink. The best part is the orange wedge at the bottom when its soaked in all the drink.
6. Helado...I haven't had an ice cream in a while and it's not raining so today might be a good day for one!
7. No one is in a rush...I swear if it ever stops raining I am going to just sit outside for hours and hours. I've heard rumors that the spanish sun is the best, maybe I'll get to see it someday : )
There's definitely a lot more but that's all I can think of right now.
So on Thursday night we met us with our intercambio, it was not exactly what I was expecting and not really that helpful. I feel like they were kind of more excited to be out with 5 girls than to be practicing speaking english/spanish. We left early and went home. But on the plus side they did show us two cool bars that I definitely want to go back to.
Friday we spent most of the day getting our costume stuff for Cádiz(yes I went back...). I don't think it was raining much that day, so it was nice to be out and about. I got crazy makeup and a lime green wig. We didn't go out Friday night, instead we watched The Proposal on my computer...funny movie!
Saturday day was gorgeous out! We went to pick up bocadillos to take to Cádiz with us and a couple other last minute things. Then Cailtin, Tarah, Brett and I walked to the bus meeting point and thats where it all began haha. I was sitting on the bus thinking "What the hell am I doing? I should get off right now."But no. We got there and I was actually kind of excited, we walked around, met some people, basically the same thing as last time. Then at about 1-1:30 it started to rain a little, ok no big deal I brought my umbrella. Then it started to rain harder and got a little windy so we went to find some cover. Thank god because next thing I know we are in the middle of a hurricane. No joke. Torrential downpours and wind. SO we stood for 7 hours under an archway with every other person who was in Cádiz. It was miserable! Athough we did meet some españoles so I did get to practice my Spanish a little. We ran to the bus in the tormenta, through the flooded streets and the bus was 45 minutes late. ¡Que coño!
Ahh what can you do in those situations...
It's time for lunch and then class so hasta luego!
