Update

Yes. I have been a horrible blogger lately.

I guess I´ll update you all briefly. I leave today for my travels during Semana Santa.

Two weekends ago I was in Mallorca and it was a great relaxing weekend.
Last weekend we did a little bit of the Camino of Santiago and it was incredible. I´ll upload some pictures when I have time.
This past thursday there was a general strike all over Spain. It was an interesting experience.
And today I leave for Madrid and I´ll spend a couple of days there, a day in Toledo, maybe a day in Segovia, and then the rest of the week in Barcelona.

I promise that when I get back from Semana Santa I will upload some more pictures and write more about my experiences. I have been busy lately and I enjoy my time outside that I don´t spend too much time on my computer!

Have a great Easter everyone and I miss you all at home! I can´t believe I almost have only a month left here...

Sorry y'all

I haven't been updating this as much lately. Well, I'm leaving for Mallorca (Majorca) today and I'll be there till Tuesday. It'll be nice to spend a couple of days by the beach. I'll keep you all updated when I get back!

Only in Spain...

Would I have chocolate con churros for dinner and then dessert after. I though it was weird when we have breakfast for dinner in the States, but dessert for dinner is starting to cross a line. However, I cannot turn down chocolate, so I guess I'll let this slide

HOW...

is it March already? I can't believe it.

The weather here in Santiago has been incredible this week. It has been in the 60's and sunny. This is rare for Santiago around this time of the year. I'm also wondering when the rain is going to arrive, because we have yet to experience the infamous rain of Santiago. I came to Santiago expecting rain all the time, but so far it has only rained significantly like two or three days here since I arrived.

Last friday was a good ole' time with the group. We went out with a "tuna," a group of musicians that travel around Europe wearing fancy cape things (there is probably some specific name for those). We basically had our own personal band as we went from bar to bar. Only in Europe would I have an experience like that.

Wednesday we went on a tour of the university's old building. It was interesting and I learned a lot about the history of USC. We also got to climb a tower in one of the building and get an awesome view of Santiago.

My Spanish has been "fatal" this week. For some reason I can never say what I want to say. I usually hear my errors once I say them and correct myself, pero hombre, I hope that next week is better.
