Getting into the swing of things.

I find it's getting harder to update because life is just kind of normal here now. I mean as normal as it can be for living in a foreign country.

Yesterday some friends and I went to a small bar to watch the Sevilla vs. Betis soccer match. It's a really big rivalry because both teams are from Sevilla. Comparable perhaps to a Cubs/Sox series. The bar we went to was definitely in favor of Betis. When they scored each time they went crazy. So that was really cool to see. I would have loved to take videos, but that would have been very obviously touristy. Then we played a round of pool and called it a night.

Today Colleen and I went to church, still without a mass booklet, so still without any idea of what's going on. We're working on that. Then because our senora had to clean our rooms, we were exiled from the house until 2:30 when lunch would be ready, so we just stayed in a plaza that was sunny for like 2 hours and people watched. The people here are funny. One store front that was open was home to a man who was somewhat eccentric. Three times cars drove by, stopped in front of the store, honked their horns with music blaring, to have the store owner come out with a feather duster and dust the drivers and then they drive off. Just a crazy Spainard. Very entertaining for us though. We returned home to our lovely neat bedroom and are off soon to hang out with our friends, Julie and Danielle. Very lovely people they are.

Classes start tomorrow, including the one Colleen and I are taking that's in the university with real Spanish people. It will be quite challenging, I'm sure.

Although we try to speak Spanish a lot, Colleen and I do speak English sometimes. So, we're thinking of giving it up for Lent, because it starts next weekend! With the exception of communication to home. Because no way am I giving up the delicious pastries I can only enjoy for 5 months. No way. That's all for nowwww.
