so the last two weeks have been a little crazy for me. This week was the first week of
regular university classes, so i added three more hours of class on t
o my week which wouldn't be bad if it wasn't in very rapid sometimes incomprehensible spanish! i feel like i'll be learning a lot more in that class because i'll be pushed a lot harder, but my profesora is really nice and helpful so thats a plus. last Friday we had a day trip to Toledo, but instantly upon arriving in Toledo it started snowing very hard. One of the pictures is of us trying to catch snowflakes in our mouths - the flake
s were so big that w
e had it down to an art! We did get to see the monestary but then our leader person said we would have to go home after because he didn't know what the roads were going to be like. As we were walking back to the bus it suddenly got beautifully sunny, and as we were leaving Toledo it started to snow again, so atleast we got a little window of sun! The snow seems to be following me though! I brought it over from wisconsin, and then it snowed in paris, and then it snowed again here, and then it snowed in Toledo! but so far it hasn't come back to Alcala! Tomorrow I leave to go to Granada for the weekend, which i'm super excited about! Granada, being in the south of spain, should be decently warmer than here, 60's or so.

Natalie!
ReplyDeleteI love reading about your adventures.
Funny how the snow is following you around! Rain follows us, but then...it would have to given our last name.
OH! Your pictures are fabulous! I was telling your mom on Monday that your pics of the Eiffel tower were awesome-I love your perspective on them and then your pics from Toledo (was it the monestary?) were also interesting the way that you framed them. Very cool.
The snow really is following you! Ours all melted, but we got 2" again last night :( In Moorish Spain, Toledo was renowned for fine steel; cutting steel that is, swords. Hope you acclimate to your classes in hard core Spanish. You're right, that's where you'll really learn the language. Your academic day probably seems very long now. Poor, brave Natalie.
