Well, I don´t really have that much to write about but I just felt like writing something. Last night we had our intercambios meeting. Intercambios are people that we will meet with so we can practice spanish and they can practice English. I was proud of myself that I could talk to people a lot in Spanish and we had a lot of fun. The meeting was at this Arabian tea place, I was sitting with a few other ISA girls, and about 5 spanish people. We then went to a tapas bar and they ordered us typical drinks that the locals usually order. I ended up with a drink that was a mix of a few types of wine I think. They said it would put hair on my chest... it was strong that´s for sure but I liked it a lot. We then decided to try one more tapas bar afterwards and we went to this wine place. I had a glass of some type of sweet red wine, I forget what it was called but it was good, just a little too sweet. The tapas (free appetizers that come with the drinks) were really good too. I also found out that there is a salsa dance club that gives free lessons two nights of the week. I am definitely going to go soon, maybe even this weekend! It was definitely a fun night! I love meeting different people, especially spanish people because I can feel my spanish improving and talking with actual people helps me learn things that I just don´t learn in a typical spanish class.
Well, I am doing really well. I don´t feel homesick as much when I meet people because I feel like I am making more of a home here. Everyone here has been really nice and I hope to make good friends with lots of people. Sometimes 4 months seems like such a long time, but right now I feel like maybe it won´t be long enough to experience everything I want to experience. I know that feeling won´t last that long, I´ll be ready to come home in December for Christmas. Well, yesterday we booked two hostels for our trip and we´re going to book two more today, so our plans are coming along. If anyone has any suggestions of what we should see in Paris, Switzerland, Rome, or Venice, please let me know!
