If shopping in America makes you stress out, then being here would literally have you crawling in a corner and crying. The dollar is worth absolutely nothing here. Every euro is equivalent to about one dollar and forty cents. Thankfully, we are here during the month of repajos (sales)! Apparently twice a year, in January and July, Spanish stores mark everything down in order to help boost the economy. So now everything is about the regular price of things in America. Needless to say, we all celebrated the first week of classes this afternoon by shopping. (Don’t worry mom I only bought one dress for 19 euros).
After dinner we all went to the plaza to meet and go to a jazz concert. It was one of the most romantic scenes ever. The concert was in a church park and everyone was relaxing on the lawn enjoying the tunes. The most amazing part though was the Catedral in the background all lit up in the night sky. Breathtaking.
From there we ventured out to the bars where we met up with Allie’s local friend Pachi. And he definitely showed us a good time. We danced the night away until 4 am and when we left the locals called us “bebes” for leaving so early. They promised us one night soon we will see the sunrise in Salamanca. How in the world do they live like this? I’ll let you know soon.
Hasta luego,
Katherina
