... they are required to do so alone. The program focuses a lot on Spanish immersion and wants every student to live alone to get the full benefit of living in a Spanish speaking country and to become fluent in the language. Also, like Madrid the students take classes at a local 4 year university, however unlike my program in Madrid, all their classes are taught in Spanish. Thus, every student spends almost 10 hours a day speaking nothing but Spanish and therefore ...
Salamanca, Castile-León, Spain and Canary Islands warrmb7It is (apparently unseasonably) cool right now. It actually rained, and stormed, today. It was definitely a change from the usually sweltering norm.
In any case, it has alerted me to the fact that I way underpacked warm clothes. It's warmer here than Wisconsin, but it gets down to 10 in December, and it's 40 and under through November.

I'm officially legal all over the world! Any worries that the 21st wouldn't be as much of a blow out over here were quickly put to rest. It was very very similar to what I imagine the US would be like.
Thursday night (9/10) I went out to dinner with friends from the university. A lot of stuff was closed because of the festivals, but we did manage to find a really really good pizza place. I had a pizza with cheese, tomato ...

... inside anywhere they want here. It's INSANELY terrible. So we've been told not to give our Senora's too much laundry to do, because it's not typical over here, but everything I own smells like smoke to the point that I can barely wear it! Especially anything you wear out at night, that's the worst. So! Saturday night we all decided to meet up again and take a nighttime wander of the city. Two bars and two clubs later, we had ...
Salamanca, Castile-León, Spain and Canary Islands ksnyder... for the Spanish dictator Franco, who died in 1975.
Lastly, we visited a bull ranch in the province of Castilla y León. On our way to the ranch, we drove up the into the Sierra de Francia mountains. At the top, Piña de Francia, there was a small church and a monastery. With an overcast sky and many large birds flying overhead, I got a sort of creepy feeling here, but the mountains were absolutely beautiful. After our stop in the mountains, we continued on our ...
... self, dont let this faze you" and I tried again. This time I was understood and the first waitress came back and I was able to tell her what I thought about the food and that I needed a check. She didnt run away for a third time so I considered this a success. Vale, I need to go to bed so I can try to get through these really awkward days of not really fitting in...I hope to have some pictures up soon and I love yall very much!! Peace and Love
Salamanca, Spain shermo32... side of Frankfurt Airport to the other in 20 minutes flat to catch a plane to Madrid. 20 minutes of mayhem or not, I got a stamp in my passport! I definitely didn't know my first passport stamp would come from Germany! We arrived in Madrid to learn that our luggage was still in Frankfurt and wouldn't be delivered until Tuesday. The program director and professor-in-residence drove what turned out to be six ...
Salamanca, Spain whirledgirl... Friday night, the weather was great, this was a popular tourist town...every single place was full. At this point, I am sweating profusely, I'm exhausted, my back hurts from all the weight, I'm dissapointed with the people and the architecture and quite honestly the city itself...well I came to a cathartic, albeit a bit impulsive, decision: "I'm getting the **** out of here." So here I am, I spent 20E to get here, I spend all of 5 ...
