Wild at Heart - Gloriana

That's the song of the day, pretty sure I listened to it about 10 times... And while there are absolutely NO cute boys here to be had, I have definitely fallen in love!

haha as cheesy as that is, it is so true. Spain is honestly the most amazing place I have ever been. Today was just a normal day, and had it happened in the states I wouldn't think anything of it. But everything is just so much better here! Yesterday Alyssa and I intended on renting bikes and tooling around the neighborhood, but they were all closed so we just took a nice hour long walk instead along the river and beach -- so beautiful.

Today, in contrast to the dismal rain we have been having, it was in the 70s and sunny all day. Went to classes per usual, which were boring per usual. Went with Grace while she got her hair cut. Home and ate lunch with my host mom around 2:30. We had a meal I liked - rice with a fried egg on top, and then some sort of tomato sauce on top (no, not ketchup). Interesting combo, but very tasty. Then of course fruit for dessert.

Then I went and had to buy myself some more allergy medicine, which was pretty difficult but I think I got the right stuff, bought some other things I need, and then met up with Alyssa to do some shopping. We went in to this jewelry shop that is right near my place that is INCREDIBLE! Funky and cute stuff for super cheap! and it's definitely decent quality. I bought myself a pair of earrings, but I def plan on going back. Then we went into a couple other stores where I bought myself a couple scarves that I love.

Heading to Madrid and Toledo this weekend with the program! very much looking forward to my first weekend vacation. Then Karen and I are possibly going to do a spur of the moment weekend to London next week! Ah I can't wait!

I'll post again after the weekend to let you all know how it went!

Hasta Luego!
