Last week

The last week in Madrid :(

Its been a weird week for schedule since we don´t meet for one class. Instead we have to interview 3 people from Madrid about the topic we chose (in groups of two). My partner and I decided to do the public opinion of the royal family... 2 interviews done but I'm still trying to peg the last one down. A littel hectic, especially since our professor isnt here to answer questions... no, shes traveling the country.... grrr

On Tuesday, my class with the Spanish professor went on a scavenger hunt around the Puerta del Sol. Really fun actually (despite the heat!). Christina (prof) took us as a surprise to eat patatas bravas (strong potatoes). The purpose was to introduce us to the ¨spicy¨ Spanish food... but it wasnt so spicy for us Texans used to burn-your-butt salsa. Really really enjoy her class and am so sad its over today!!

Yesterday night, our roommate Mike took us three gals to go wine tasting at the local tabernas. Had 4-5 different types at 2 bars... and he tried to tell us what he knows about Spanish wine... and what to look for in a wine.

Just finished the written portion of my second final... and waiting on the oral exam... and then--- the POOL!! Sun, sun, sun alllllll afternoon :)
