I meant to write a little more today but I just spent so much time on editing and uploading pictures that I have no time left to write much.

The past few days have been really great. Thursday I went out to Molly Malone (an Irish pub) with a bunch of kids from my school. Mano (he’s in my class and my roomie) and I spent most of the night talking in Spanish, which, as you can imagine, made for quite an entertaining conversation!

Friday the school offered a trip to a closeby town, Fuenterrabia, where el Alarde, a parade and big fiesta took place that day. It is a really charming little town and the parade was fun to watch. I took bunches of pictures and had a good time.

Saturday, I went to Biarritz in France with four others (Mano and Johanna, and Alisa and Hamido from my class). Biarritz is nice. The town center is nice, but actually not that special. The coast is gorgeous though. It is a lot more rough than here, and I loved walking along it.

Sunday I spent at the beach here, watching the rowing regatta (la regata), and sunbathing and swimming.

Well, since I uploaded some pictures earlier, you can see them here if you like: Click!

I have no time left now, because they started the movie, so I have to go, but I’ll write again soon! ¡Hasta luego!

I am in San Sebastián now. So far everything has been going well. My flight to Madrid was delayed though, and so my suitcase didn’t make it on the plane to SS. I met a girl who had the same problem so we reported it, and took the bus to the city. I decided since I didn’t have much luggage to carry, I would go to the tourist office with her, to get some information myself. It took us a while to find it, including a stop at the reception of a ***** hotel where we asked about how to get there. The office had siesta until like 1530 so we tried finding a place to eat, but the closest was McDonalds. Kinda sad that my first meal in Spain is McDonalds but I was hungry so what can you do.

Then I walked to my apartment, and met my roommates. I have five roommates (one is leaving tomorrow though) and from what I can tell they’re all nice. I was stuck at the apartment until my luggage came, which of course it didn’t at 1800 (like they had said) but 1930. I relaxed, listened to some music, and took a shower (since I am used to my luggage getting lost I had everything necessary in my carry-on bag.

Then I took a walk around town, and spent most of the evening at the beach… the city is so freakin’ beautiful, wow! I am totally in love with it. All the buildings and the beach and everything is soooo gorgeous.

Today I started my classes and so far it’s fun. It does feel different learning in Spain instead of a German environment, so hopefully it will be good for something.

Anyway, I have to go get lunch somewhere, because I am starving. I had to skip breakfast because I got up a little late and had to rush to school. Then I’ll get some groceries and other things I need, and probably walk around town some more. Tonight there is a welcome party so I am going to go there.

Well, just wanted to tell y’all I’m doing fine, and got here safely. Later!
