We learned more about accents today, it's still pretty difficult. We also discussed the education system in Spain. It is rather different then the US. Although, both sytems have some similar qualities. Hopefully, I've gained enough information to write my 8-10 page report on both systems.
After class we went to TGIFriday's. It was good and it reminded us of home. Plus, they gave free refills. However, it was rather expensive. Then I came home ALONE! I rode the metro all by myself and made it back to my house safely. Yeah!! I'm starting to feel more comfortable in Madrid and I think I'm getting better at understanding the metro system. (right when I'm about to leave of course)
At 7pm, we went to see a flamenco show called, "Carmen!" It was fabulous. It's probably one of the top three things I've done in Europe. I absolutely loved it. It was so beautiful and artistic! It reminded me of the ballet mixed with tap dancing and sprinkled with some Spanish flavor. The ladies danced so well and they moved their arms and hands in an amazing way, like models. The men were also good dancers. I definitely recommend it to anyone who has an opportunity to see it.
Well that's all, ttyl :)
Aww, Rosa why are your blogs becoming Brief Passages. I like your long blogs with lots of flavor. Glad we having a great time in Europe together. But going home will also be nice.
ReplyDeleteHi Rosa. I think your blogs are becoming shorter because you've figured out the metro so we no longer get a whole paragraph about how you a) got lost on the metro, b)got yourself AND your friends lost on the metro, c) stupid metro was closed (!!), etc.... I felt really bad for you, but, it was pretty darn funny!
ReplyDeleteI am still so excited for you and am glad you've gotten out of Madrid a few times to see some of the beautiful countryside. Can't wait to hear about Florence. Love you and miss you!!
Cristina, I just posted a longer post. I hope you like it.
ReplyDeleteMary, I miss and love you too! I'm really excited about Florence, I can't wait! By the way, I will be home in 5 days, yeah!!!!
