The past couple of days have been very enlightening. I'm loving noticing all the different ways of life here. I even love sitting in this cafe while blogging and sipping te verde (green tea).
Today I met the most handsome young man in all of Spain. His name is Carlitos and he is 4 years old. He is the grandson of Pilar and he comes over frequently when his mom works. He was shy at first but by the end of the day he had me chasing him making monkey noises. The cutest thing was when he brought me his children's book and sat on the couch for me to read it to him. He didn't even laugh when I stumbled over the easy words. Meet Carlitos:
Then, I went for a run and found an outdoor gym! I will be going there when the temperature is not in the 90's. except a frightening thing happened here-a dog was not friendly! I have noticed this and it is intriguing to me. Dogs do not walk on leashes. They walk in front of their owners and do not stop to get petted. The dog today that I tried to pet barked at me very loudly and would not stop then would run at me and run away. Tiger would never do such a thing <3
The first night everyone from Michigan went out. We went to a couple of clubs and learned very quickly (when we were basically the only ones there except tweens and 2 moms) that kids do not go out until very late. It was fun to dance with my girl friends, and thankfully they live close to me so we can all walk together home.
The next morning I went running early with my friends Jenna and Katherine. We found a park close by and explored the streets of Salamanca. Then, my class went to La Catedral Nueva (the cathedral), which was absolutely gorgeous:
After that, we all went to la piscina (the pool). It was PACKED with people. At night, Allie and I ate helado (ice cream) in the Plaza. snow grood! ;)
I am going to get tapas with my class now! Adios
