a great past couple days! i just took a siesta and it was wonderful- today the group got together to see an art museum featuring sorolla. well, actually it was his house full of his art. it was fantastic and beautiful! google image it- i had been familiar with one or 2 of the paintings before- it was very nice. then we went walking around the parque de retiro-- this HUGE park that is absolutely beautiful with lakes and a place to rent rowboats (we will do that when it is a little warmer out) and artwork and statues and basically , let me quote kara, is a "recipe for romance" haha. its giong to be so cute in the spring with all the little ducklings! we walked all around and ended up near the prado museum but didnt go in but did go to eat, yummmmm- a favorite pastime.
yesterday we saw this awesome cathedral being constructed by an 80 year old with no experience in building making. ive forgotten my camera the past two days but no worries- friends have the pics and i will just steal them from their cameras.
after dinner tonight a few friends and i are interested in going out and seeing madrid in action during the evening. this place is always awake! i have been verrrry happy here- i love the city and the location of my flat. i would only say that the only frustration would be the language- i knew it would be a little difficult at first, its just that there is so much i want to say! i know i will be getting better.... i already AM getting better ive learned so much random vocab like "deer" and "needle point" and the 20 different kind of hams.
we are going to toledo on friday for a day trip. i wont forget my camera for that one! next week i will be picking out classes etc. ill keep yall updated. besos- and note- in spain its a kiss on each cheek
