Salamanca

¡Hola de Salamanca!
It is so awesome here! I want to live here. Well, if I had to live here I wouldn´t complain. It is a pretty big town though. I hope everything is going well in the states. If I never return, sorry and I´ll miss you all. But you should come out here to visit me sometime :) No I am kidding, Bill would never let me stay here! Spain is wonderful. To compare it to Argentina, is sort of impossible because they really are different, but the Argenitine people are more friendly. I love the siesta and the tapas. Basically, tapas are small dishes of food that you get when you´re hungry in the afternoon. (or you can get a couple and have it for lunch) :) What else. Oh I met Alvaro, who is a friend of my friend in Bemidji. He lives here and is super nice.. even bought me an ice cream cone. But he wants to work on Enlish and I on Spanish, so it works out pretty well. Plus he showed me around town and now I know about more stuff. (don´t worry Bill, I still love you!!!) My parents are coming out on Wednesday, which is so cool I can´t wait they´ve needed this for a long time.. I mean to get out of the states. There is even going to be a Baroque market when they are here! Plus it will get me out of the house and give me something to do NOT with my roommate. She´s nice and all, just not really like me. But it´s a good experience (I guess). Our host family is super nice and the mother is an awesome cook! My worst fear has turned out to be bogus!!! I love most of the food. Oily, yes, but edible. The eat lots of vegetables (cooked) and fresh fruit every lunch and dinner. Perfect for me isn´t it. Plus, they are really sensitive to the fact that I don´t really eat meat. Although they raise it a lot differently here and so it doesn´t bother me much. Oh, yeah, classes are going good so far, although we´ve only had two days. Somehow I was placed in the top class. I guess I did better than I thought on the test thing. It is really good for me though because it really forces me to use what I know and I know I will improve a ton. Um, that´s all I want to say for now. Hasta luego y que tengáis un buen día.
