Spain Day 5!

This morning Lara and I went shopping (for souvenirs and gifts and because everything is cheaper here) and met Oma & Opa for lunch with Dominic. I'm the only one in our group that knows more than two words in Spanish (besides my aunt, but she wasn't around) so I had the privilege of ordering our food... Which was neat. It's an awesome feeling of accomplishment when you successfully communicate with someone in another language. Also, I had pineapple juice because it sounded awesome. It was most awesome. 

Then Lara & I went and got ice cream. Mine was snickers flavored! :)

We walked back up to the hotel and changed into our swim stuff to hang out by the pool. And that's all we did all afternoon. :)

We had dinner at the hotel, and then went to a little outcrop to watch the sunset. Lara and I took some really neat pictures. 

We leave tomorrow! I want to stay... This has been such a fun vacation, I really hope to come back to Spain again someday!

Fun fact

Today was basically just an average school day... Not very special. 

Fun fact: Cotton in German is "Baumwolle", which literally translated means "tree-wool". Interesting, huh?

Long day:)

Today I had school until 5:15. It was super fun because our history teacher is doing a big project week with another class, so we had two hours to eat lunch, which was cool. I also did my English presentation, and it went awesome! I talked for the whole period, and everyone wanted more details about what I think are the weirdest things. A big deal was the fact that I put a picture of me in a tree stand at age 12 with a gun, although I said I never shot anything. The whole class thought that was the bomb diggity. 

An interesting question someone asked me was if it was weird to listen to music and understand the words. Here everyone listens to exactly the same stuff as we do in the U.S. (with a few Swiss or German artists mixed in) and they usually don't understand the words in English songs, so to them it's strange you actually comprehend what the artists are saying. 

Tomorrow after school Lara and I are going to the west part of Switzerland for the weekend! (Lara's godmother lives there and invited us!) I'm really excited! :) 

Woo for almost another week of school being over! Time flies when you're having fun... 

Sunny Wednesday

Today was fun, because on Wednesdays we have a half day. Also, it was gorgeous outside, which made for a really nice walk home. Now that it's dark out it's raining, but that's totally ok with me.

Tomorrow I get to sleep in and we have another half day because the teachers have to go to some conference thing in the afternoon. So much free time! And I'm not sure if it's tomorrow or next week that I get to do a presentation in English class about the schools and such in America... But that'll be exciting :)
