yesterday after class i walked around the city until lunchtime. after lunch i took a really long siesta and then met up with the girls to try and figure out where we are going to travel. we thought we had found the perfect place on the southern coast, but we couldn't find a place to stay. we're still throwing some ideas around.. i still have my mind set that i will be going somewhere.. just not sure where yet.
we were supposed to have a cooking class last night, but at the last minute the restaurant called and said they were without electricity so they had to cancel. they are supposed to reschedule that next week. since most of us had told our senoras we wouldn't be home for dinner we found a place to eat in salamanca. the restaurant was cute and we were able to eat outside on the street. i had lasagna, and "drunk" chicken (chicken soaked in beer). it was pretty good.. and very cheap. my meal included bread (which usually you have to pay extra for here), 2 courses, dessert, and a sangria for 9E ($11.97). after dinner i came home and worked on homework
today in class we went over what was going to be on the exam tomorrow. after class i did a little shopping while i waited for our cultural activity. today we went to "el cielo de salamanca". it's in one of the buildings at the university and is very pretty. it represents all the different horoscopes. we weren't allowed to take pictures, but this is one that i found online.
when i got home it was time for lunch. we had white bean soup, roasted chicken (one of my favorites!), salad, and watermelon for dessert. the watermelon here is absolutely delicious! i could eat it at every meal.
it's siesta time now, and i can't wait to take a nap. tonight we are going boating on the rio Tormes. it's one of the most popular places to get pictures of salamanca. i think it will be a lot of fun and a bit refreshing. it is pretty warm here today. if i have time later i'm going to post some of my pictures from portugal. tonight i'm going to be studying. wish me luck on my first exam in spain!
