woo!

Hello again friends!

Well it hasn´t been that long since I last posted, but I feel like everything has changed for the better. I´m getting used to Salamanca and can actually find my way to the main square! Miracles do happen, people. Anyway, here´s a few more things that have happened so far...

First, I have to say that the keyboards here drive me crazy. They have extra letters and extra punctuations and it can be very confusing and frustrating. But I digress...

So Friday was a really nice day. I went to school, almost fell asleep, and was extremely hungry all afternoon. This is kind of my everyday in America, so no big. That afternoon though, was great. I was able to enjoy some of the scenery of Salamanca and hang out with some new friends by a ¨river¨. It was basically a creek. But still much need relaxation.

That night I went to bed early (yes, on a Friday night. My host mom was disapointed). I didn´t sleep long though because there was some sort of parade literally outside of my window. They were playing Poker Face at like 2 in the morning. I was not terribly pleased. It did however remind me of all the American music played here. I hear songs from the US at LEAST 4 or 5 times a day. It´s crazy! The thing is though, while there is some that´s current, a lot is from the 90´s or the early 2000´s. It´s like listening to WOW ´98 on repeat. But I don´t mind. I just want more Enrique. Or Ricky. My host mom and I share a love for Ricky Martin... I wish I was kidding.

Yesterday I went to Toledo, Spain. It was amazingly beautful. Once I figure out how to upload pictures I will because this place will take your breath away. I saw a few churches, a synagogue, and the world´s smallest museum (at least I think so). The museum had two paintings by El Greco. If you don´t know who that is, he´s pretty much the bee´s knees over in Spain. This is what the museum consisted of: the two paintings (which were stellar), enough room for about 30 people, and a man with a suit shushing everyone if they talked. It was cool, but strange.

Toledo was great, but pretty much everywhere we walked was uphill. As you know, I am not so much a fan of working out. So it was rough. Other than that, the whole trip was really fun. There was a festival going on while we were in the city, so it was super crowded. I have learned to appreciate how spacious America is.

I went on this trip with about 40 other people from the University. And I actually met a woman from Little Rock! It was nice to hear a southern accent again. I was able to talk to her about the Lord and had an amazing time visiting with her.

Well folks, that´s about all the time I have today. I love you and miss you all. Keep me in your prayers and I´ll keep you in mine. Adios!
