Another week begins in Salamanca! Jenna and I woke up bright and early today to go for a run and catch up on each other’s weekends. She had just gotten back from Portugal and gave me the lo-down on what and what not to do. Her description of the beaches there sounds like pure paradise and I can’t wait to go!

After class today I decided to finally go out and buy my first pair of Spanish shoes! Success! After two hours of roaming I finally decided on a pair. Although the exchange rate kind of sucks, all of the shoes are still really cheap compared to America (my justification for purchases).

At 6:00 our first Flamenco class started! It was SO much fun. I’ll tell ya, all that twirling with our wrists is harder than you would think – I didn’t even know I had muscles there. We probably looked pretty goofy, not really knowing what way to shake our hips, but I had a great time nonetheless. Maybe we will get good enough so we can perform in the Plaza on the weekends!

For tonight I think I’ll head down to a café to get some Internet and download the Bachelorette (guilty pleasure). Hope you all are doing well back home.

Con cariño,

Katherina

P.S. Today is the anniversary of Spain winning The World Cup!!! WOOOO!!!
