At home...

Hola todos,

My trip so far... When I first got here Marina (my exchange partner) too me out with her friends. That was Saturday night. We went to this club called, Smile, I believe. It is pretty cool, I do not have any pictures of it though. Sunday was pretty relaxed, we just chilled at home.

Our flight from Frankfurt went to Madrid and we had to drive from Madrid to Valladolid, which is about two hours-ish. I got soom wicked pictures, as such:

The first day of school. Well that was interesting because everyone loves to stare at the new Canadians. Some of the looks we get a hilarious. Some people just stare while the others are pointing and yelling, "The Canadians, the Canadians!!"

This is Laura (with the glasses) and Marina. This was during the first week of school. Laura is really nice and she talks to me alot.

Everyone here is really nice. I have a hard time opening my locker up...it´s on the bottom. My first week at school was very interesting. We are put in certain classes with an exchange partner. I am in a class with Rodrigo (who came to Canada and styed with Daniel), Daniel and Cathrine. We Have classes like physics, math, arcitecture, gym, computers (which we actually have to do work in next week.), Spanish, English and a spare. Their school is enclosed kind of like a jail... haha, bu it is really clean and really beautiful.

The shopping here is pretty nice. I have not found anything I would die to have, but there are alot of nice clothes. There are alot of parties. We got to parties Friday and Saturday nights. They are pretty fun, I got to talk to and meet alot of people. Which is really good because all the people I talked to are going to Valencia. That´s right...we are going to the beach!! It is some sort of class trip and Marina and her whole class or whoever (even the really hot guys!!haha) are going to Valencia for four days. I am really excited, but I need to buy a bathing suit. Only one week left before we leave.

This is a picture of the Plaza Zorilla, I think. Anyway, it is near where we go shopping, a short walk from Marina´s school. It is really nice as you can see. Behind me (because I am taking the picture.) is the military acadamy. Everything here looks so antique. It is genuinly beautiful. I am really starting to like it here, although I do so very much miss everyone in Canada. I also miss when we eat. Here we eat at 7 am, 11 am, 3 pm and 10 pm. Whereas I am used to eating all the time and before 10. I am exausted by the time we eat dinner. They drink their water out of cool glass bottles, (except the dad has wine or beer with our meals) and sometimes we eat outside because it is really nice here.

There is a maid who comes and cleans the house while we are gone,so I do not have to make my bed here. However, my mom told me that I have to so...I do.

I have church on Sunday. Here the ward is very small and strugling. I have offered to play the piano for Relife Society. I finally found a piano where I can practice.

I believe that should suffice for now. Wishing you all good luck wherever you may be,
