AC San Antonio León

I did´n get to see munch of Madrid exept the metro system. Went to the airport to straighten things with Air Comet/AeroMexico and then back to the train station. Quite tiring.
But Trini was so nice, a perfect host !
Leon is a nice middle-sized city with a beautifull cathedral and narrow streets typical from spain, and of course a good nightlife. I went out this night with Ruth (Trini´s daughter) and her friends, and had a great time !
I like spain, I´ll be back next year.

... empresa, y, por último. el Presidente del Gobierno de España. Muy emocionantes los últimos dos discursos, el primero porque me nombró a mí en persona (¡con Zapatero escuchando!), elogiando mi trabajo y depositando su confianza en mí. El segundo, porque el Presidente eligió esta visita para anunciar los nuevos apoyos a las energías renovables, y su firmeza en continuar apoyandolas ...

... should I refer to them as Catalans?) going with the bikes as well, so we went together a little, they were nice.

to be continued...

Up and off to do some sightseeing before leaving for Leon - Oviedo is famous for pre-Romanesque architecture, but most of it was not readily accessible on foot, so I decided to check out Fuente Foncalada, which was one of a few examples close to the city centre. A bit of a disappointment!

Off to the cathedral to see the inside - there's a belief that if you turn three times the key found in the hand of the San Pedro statue and make ...

... como el de Chernóbil, que tanto dolor sigue causando. Cuando decimos “nuclear, no”, también reafirmamos nuestro compromiso en la lucha contra el cambio climático, porque lo que se invierta en nuclear se desviará de las auténticas soluciones al cambio climático. Decir “nuclear, no” es también decir “petróleo, no”, porque la nuclear y el petróleo responden al mismo modelo energético, que se basa ...

... back to the main road. The next town along the main road is El Burgo Ranero, so El Burgo Ranero it is. I fear what would happen if Agnesa couldn't go on anymore in the middle of nowhere. We walk in the searing hot afternoon, slowly making our way through barren land, the only landscape variety being a canal alongside the road. In the end, we make it to El Burgo Ranero. I have some delusions of still going the allegedly 14 kilometres to Reliegos, but Max and Petra, sitting ...

... know what day so she said she would try to have me do at least something every day. I also talked to Rita and told her the same thing since I have her class on Wednesdays. She is going to let me give the test tomorrow and then we are going to see what I can do for next week. She told me that I should be teaching other classes by now also. She said that there was a Swedish girl who knew less Spanish than I ...

Today was pretty exciting as well. First of all, I got to help a lot in English class. I got to read the kids a book and an activity. The teacher thinks it is good for them to hear a different accent because the tapes are British pronunciation and that is what she learned as well (but she is from Spain). Also, during the afternoon the older students (4th, 5th, and 6th grades) had a presentation about water and it's importance. I think it was ...

Ok, so traveling isn't much fun when you are by yourself for a very long time! I was so bored waiting for the plane and on the plane with no one to talk to. It was kinda scary too because I had to do everything by myself and I was a little nervous about getting lost or something, luckily that didn't happen. It was very exhausting dragging around all of my stuff all the time though. Boy do my shoulders hurt today! The plane rides were pretty much normal, I guess I am getting ...

... taped our two hour conversation. maybe it will come in handy for the documentary, or maybe it will just be fascinating for him to recieve a copy and hear himself talking while he was a young man of 29. I don´t know about these things, the uses of these tapes. For me it was interesting to hear him speak of his time now being over, but not the trip in his mind. Foot problems and time conspire to prevent him from finishing, but he is already planning to come back, to possibly ...
