Random Happenings in Cantabria
... a shop in Santillana and buy something from everywhere. Also, samurai swords.
Nothing says Spain like a Samurai sword.
I also saw my 2nd Spanish wedding in Cantabria. I liked the wedding in San Vicente better, but they had a few things in common.
1. No limos-both weddings used the same type of old car.

First Week OVER!
... a decongestant, I had to go back and explain what was wrong and get cough syrup. I have to take it like 6 times a day, too! Is there any cough syrup in America that you take 6 times a day?
Anyway, classes are going fine! The kids are still getting used to me and my accent(also my voice is a bit raspy because of my cold). It is so hard figuring out what words they know and don't know. It is even more difficult to try and explain words using words they ...
