Today was a fabulous Sunday, church was amazing as usual and lunch was oh so delicious. Friday a group of us went into Madrid to check out the Temple of Debod, an Egyptian museum in the Parque Oeste. We walked around in it and the park for awhile and then headed off to the Gran Via to stroll. We passed by a jazz band in the streets and the young man playing the saxophone held his hand out to me and so I took it and we started dancing! I love Madrid! Before we got on the train on Friday I found Twilight, in Spanish, in a bookstore and started reading it- bad idea seeing that I have lots of history textbooks I should be reading, but oh well its helping my Spanish! Well Saturday we went to Buen Retiro park with our bocadillos and it was a beautiful day in Madrid. The sun felt so good on my skin! I pulled up my pant legs a little bit to try and attempt to get rid of this sock tan I’ve acquired from running midmorning and pulled out my entertainment for the day: Twilight (Crepúsculo) and my Spanish-English dictionary. I read for more than four hours, yet I am only on page 130 or so, but I am loving every page! I got home around 7:30 and I asked Ana if I could help her make dinner. She said it would be the perfect chance for me to learn to make tortilla Espanola on my own. It was fun working and talking with her in the kitchen and I’m not going to lie, my tortilla was pretty tasty. Well this week is Semana Santa, which means there will be lots to do and see! We are going to Valencia on Wednesday to see las Fayas, which is where there is a big parade with all of these floats during the day and then they light everything on fire around midnight. I am so excited! We are leaving early Wednesday morning because it takes about five hours to get there and then leaving Valencia around 3:00AM. We only have class on Monday and Tuesday, how lucky!
