Yesterday was such a good day! Spanish was good in the morning and then I went home and went for a good run at the park close to my house and then over to the other park that has some work out equipment. I was on one of the machines when this older woman came over to me and started talking to me. We started talking about where I was from and the various places that she had visited. Her name
was Pilar and she was so sweet. Right in the middle of our conversation about the mountains in Colorado she looked at me and said, “Erin, crees en Jesucristo?” Wow! It was very random, but I enjoyed it because then we got to talk about Jesus Christ and all that he has done for us and for everyone. We talked for about ten minutes, but she had to go home to prepare food for lunch, she was making tortilla Espanola and I was tempted to follow her home because it is so good! She gave me two besos goodbye and I’m hoping I’ll get to talk to her again in the future. I went home and Ana had made a delicious lunch and then arroz con leche for dessert, it was delicious. I went into Madrid after lunch with some friends and we walked around the Buen Retiro Park, which was by far the prettiest park I’ve ever been to. There is a beautiful lake in the middle of it and there were lots of people out boating in it. We are definitely going to rent a paddle boat on the next sunny day. We walked around for a few hours and then went to the Prado because it is free from six to eight. We walked around the 19th Century exhibit and it was neat seeing paintings about the people I’ve been studying about, like Joanna the mad, Philip the fair, Isabella, Ferdinand, and others. I got home around nine and we had a yummy dinner, oh but wait the weirdest thing happened to me on the bus on the way home. There was this older guy sitting across from me that kept smiling at me and doing something with his phone, but I was just looking out the window minding my own business. Well as he got off the bus he took a picture of me and then blew me a kiss! Gross, he was like fifty years old! Anyways, I just finished with classes for today and I’m about to head home for lunch. I love Spain!

Hi Erin!!!!
Hey, happy late valentine's day!! I just read your "love"ly letter to Dad and I and it made me so happy!! You're so wonderful and always say the things that make me the happiest! It was odd not being able to make you a home-made valentine card and give you some cinnamon hearts from See's but I hope you had a special day just the same. We'll definitely share some special treats as we travel through Spain, Portugal and Paris together.....oh my, it sounds so exciting! Te amo mucho-
