class was fun. in my grammar class we do a lot of activities to really make the time fly by. my teacher makes the class enjoyable. after class i stopped and bought a pair of shorts.. only because it was a really good deal! i feel like i could wear pants here every day because it is cool in the mornings and evenings.
for lunch we had soup, a piece of ham that was very salty, and cooked red peppers. it was good. i had watermelon for dessert. i didn't siesta today. i did rest a bit while catching up with things on the internet.
we had an activity today to Huerto de Calisto y Melibea. it is a garden in salamanca within the school buildings. it was very pretty, and had a great view of the cathedral. it was unique because inside the garden is a well. it is a tradition and very romantic for couples to visit the well with a lock. many of them write their initials, place the lock on the well, and throw the key down the well. it is supposed to symbolize that they will be together forever. there were hardly any locks on the well when we went, so our director thought that maybe someone cleaned it up for the summer so people would have room to place their locks.

this is a picture i found online to show how many locks are typically on the well.
for dinner we had spanish tortilla, a couple pieces of ham, and salad. we had yogurt for dessert. after dinner i was hoping i would take a nap, but i didn't. i went out for a little while with some friends because today was one the girl's birthdays. they got tapas, but i was too full to eat anything. i had a tinto de verano. it was very good.
