Well I have now been in Spain for 3 days! The hardest thing has been the time change.... 7 hours ahead of home! So for example, in NE it is 5:41 PM.... Here it is 12:41 AM. Rough. The next hardest thing has been the language barrier. The locals get so frustrated with you when you can't communicate and I just feel so helpless. Thank goodness I start class Thursday. Five hours a day, M-F of Spanish! I better become fluent...
Anyways... We stayed our first few nights in Madrid which is a city of about 3 million people. It was amazing the architecture is just amazing! Like everything is medieval looking even the apartments. It is just amazing. I am in Toledo now which is much different, about the size of Cheyenne, and it has the most amazing cathedrals I have ever seen. (You are going to have to look at my facebook for pictures because it takes way too long to try to upload on here). But tomorrow we head for Malaga which is where we are actually going to school. And guess what??? I live 10 minutes from one of the best beaches in Spain! Now I just need a beach body which won't be hard since the eating patterns are so strange here (and we walk everywhere). A VERY light breakfast at 8ish, a large lunch at 2:30ish and a small dinner at 9ish. It is very hard to get used to!
I just love it so much. I could live here and teach English if Dean would go for it. It is so different and unique and unlike anything I have ever seen. Anyways... I hope you guys like reading this... it's kinda weird for me but I guess it is a great way to stay in touch! Love you and miss you all!
