Also, their bananas are turning brown and they mentioned that, so I tried to explain banana bread to them and between my Spanish and their culture I don't think they understood at all. However, they do enjoy Petit Ecolier cookies and plan to buy them next week, which is good with me.
Today on my way home from school I didn't use a map once! And I had intense problems with unlocking the apartment door the first day and the second day, so yesterday they made me practice opening their door like ten times. So, today, no problems! I feel a little more confident speaking, although when the bus driver today tried to explain something to me when my ticket wouldn't work (because it was a little ripped, and it just needs to be punched instead) he told me "tu no me entiendes" with a little too much annoyance for my liking. I was like, so true buddy, so true.. Also whenever I talk at dinner, Antonio has to ask Luisa what I said. That doesn't make me feel so confident haha.
We went on a tour of the Autonoma university today, and i got put in the art history group even though I don't think i'm going to actually take any, anymore. I'm taking Health and Disease, and some English class. Ayy I didn't want to take English while I was in Spain, but it looks like it will be the difference between writing a thesis and taking two lit classes at the same time, or just one lit class per semester. With a thesis of 40-80 pages I tihnk i will need all the free time I can get.
Tomorrow- El Prado! I'm so so excited.
I figured out how to do pictures, albeit it takes forever. So, a few:
This is an orange tree in the middle of a cloister in the big cathedral, raining slightly, looks very pretty.
And swords?

Toledo is medieval, so I guess that means they need to have knight armor everywhere?
And to represent the home front, Harley.
My favorite is Harley. Hands down.
ReplyDeleteyay harley!! too bad he can't come visit you. the swords are awesome. did you get to hold one? and maybe throw it at something. btw, there was a huge snowstorm here on wednesday so they implemented the SNOW REMOVAL PLAN, very exciting, but people need to move their cars out of scribner by tomorrow morning, so there is this one person who has been revving her engine for the past half an hour and not getting anywhere. i find it quite hilarious. this makes me glad i didn't bring a car.
