We have plans!

Updated....sorry-had to cut if off early to go to class the other day!

We´ve finally decided where to go for our last hoop-la in España...on Saturday, we´re headed to Segovia and Ávila, two towns very close to each other, that have some really old cathedrals, castles, walls, and a HUGE ancient Roman acqueduct-I´m excited! On Sunday, we´re headed to Santander, a town on the north coast of Spain. We´re also hoping to head over to Bilbao, about an hour away, to visit the Guggenheim Museum, this really cool modern art museum. I think it´s going to be really neat to visit up north because where we are is in the Basque country, which is an autonomous community in Spain. They speak there own language that is one of the oldest languages in the world and it has no ties to any other language, so it´s really interesting! It also makes it IMPOSSIBLE to understand, because there are NO similarities, but they all speak Spanish, so that´s good.

There are four official languages in Spain: Castellano, Catalan, Gallego, and Vasco. Everyone is required to speak Castellano, which is what I speak (it´s the normal Spanish). Catalan and Gallego are similar to Spanish, but definitely have their differences. And Vasco...is just plain weird-very ancient!

Salamanca has storks! I have been meaning to tell you all this for weeks now! Storks, like bring the baby home storks! So cool!

Salamancan style: more discoveries...the guys here definitely wear capris...weird, and I do NOT recommend it for our guys.

This weekend we´re headed to Segovia, Ávila, and Santander...I´m so excited!
Segovia has the castle that was the inspiration for the Walt Disney (Cinderella) castle! I´ll be sure to take lots of pictures.
Miss you all so much-countdown is at 8 days before I get home!
