Salamanca!!

I knew that Salamanca was going to be different than Madrid... but I had no idea that I was going to love it this much and it's only day 2! Emily and I were blessed with an incredible family in Madrid, compared to others, we had absolutely no complaints... I honestly didn't think it could get any better than Carmen and David... but then there was Carmen and Miguel. We went from parents to grandparents and it was worth it! No more chocolate and bread for breakfast (I never thought I would be sick of that...) the only milk we have goes in our COFFEE and we have juice! So far I have identified everything I've eaten, we've had pasta, and breads, fruits and desserts... yum. The only downfall is internet. We were spoiled in Madrid and now we have searched and searched for internet in Salamanca but it's a rare find.

Yesterday we were walking through the plaza mayor after our flamenco class (which was incredible by the way) and it started to rain. The thing is... only half of the plaza was raining... it was so bizarre. But, much to our surprise a beautiful rainbow covered the sky when the rain stopped. We stood there in awe trying to grasp the beauty that was in front of us. We took that as our sign that wrapping up this trip in Salamanca is going to be well worth it.

We have group meetings after class today and then we are going out for tapas... and then, get ready.... Spain plays tonight! I have become such a futbol addict since I've been here. We are going to the plaza to watch it with a lot of locals :) We asked our parents here if we could watch it with them since that's what we do during dinner every night... but they said that they were going out with their friends to watch it so we should go with ours and just meet back at the house later. HA. Did I mention that they are 70? Incredible.
