Today was a less eventful day and more restful. I woke up earlier and blogged. I had the usual coffee/ crackers for breakfast. After I blogged and ate breakfast, I called Monica. She came and picked me up to go to the local flea market. It was actually right outside our front door. People just set up shop right outside the door. We walked around and had lunch. I'm writing a separate blog for the lunch. After the flea market and lunch, we came back to the apt. for a siesta. I slept for about 3 hours. It was extremely hot but quieter than at night. When we woke up we called Claudia and Anna to meet at Plaza de Mayor. I didn't bring my camera today, so no pictures, but I will carry it around tomorrow.
There was plenty to see at Plaza Mayor, statues, mimes, local vendors, handicapped entertainers, and regular entertainers. We looked around but didn't buy much.
Something else I've noticed are dogs. People love to take their dogs out with them. They walk the streets, some are leashed, some aren't. I've seen two daschunds and they really make me miss my babies. However, I just skyped with Jay for the first time. It was very awesome and I got to see my babies. I love little Jerry and Elaine.
Today was a lot cooler than yesterday, except inside the apt, during our seista.
Tomorrow I have class. I start with an exam to place me based on my Spanish proficiency. I've already been speaking so much more Spanish. I've noticed some differences, the biggest one being "iez" at the end of verbs in singular form. There are other single words which are different. I'm trying to catch on.
Today I asked the house owner if I could keep bottled water in her refrigerator but she said there wouldn't be enough space for the 4 of us to keep our drinks cool. :(
I also asked if we could have a fan, but she said that it could cause a short in the electricity and we could all burn to death. So that was a No :(
I'm writing another blog about something cool that happened today too, be sure to read it.
