After class I didn't even take a siesta, I had a presentation to make to my class on Wednesday so I actually was a real student for the day. I was doing research, making powerpoint slides and getting myself ready for the presentation. I wasn't planning on doing anything else that day but a good friend (Ashley) told me that I needed to go to this Flamenco show. Our program was taking us and I didn't know when I would have another chance to see another show of this magnitude. So, I took what I thought was going to be a short break and went to the Flamenco show.
We went to Teatro del Arenal (in Sol) and saw a Flamenco Ballerina.

Teatro del Arenal
It was a combination of ballet and traditional flamenco. It was beautiful.

Kind of Like a Soul Train Line
I'm glad I took the break. Then, since were there, I went shopping again to see if I could find a dress for Courtney's wedding, I found one. I couldn't figure out why my back and things were hurting so bad - then I realized that it was my dear camel ride the day before - I was so in pain! Anyway, I didn't hold up the crowd -- I got some of my ice cream from Palazzo (that ish is awesome) and then we headed back to the dorm and I kept doing my work.I didn't go to bed until after 2:30 AM...once again, another long day...but very productive!
