We were at a ruins of a Diana Temple and this man came by walking. Lately we have been walking so much that our feet are tired and all we can think about is food. Though dinner isn't till 10. BUT since we are adjusting we get dinner at 9 or 8 depending on if we are doing anything after. Most of us aren't going out but I went to a couple of bars. Not so shabby. We don't go out like the normal Spaniards yet. Americans really don't know how to live. I'm extremely tired and a nap is calling my way before dinner. Love you all. Please comment... :] 



{[Its been quite real and amazing. I haven't experience any culture shock yet. Things seem so fascinating that I don't have time to worry or anything like that. I have seen so many wonderful historical buildings. The language here is poetic. The Spaniard's spanish is more calming and relaxing then the other forms I have heard. Sure there are a lot of the same words and grammar but they way they pronounce is soothing. I sometimes cannot tell the difference from another language.]}
