Ahh Domingos en España – el mejor. (Ahh Sundays in Spain – the best). I think I slept in the latest today I have this whole trip. I could have slept later too but at 11:00 Sydney called me to go running haha. At 12:00 Sydney, Jenna and I went for a run and then afterwards I headed back for lunch. The plan for the day? Pool. What a great day to lounge and do nothing. Tomorrow is a national holiday in Spain – El Camino de Santiago – so we don’t have school! “Nothing to do, nowhere to be, a simple little kind of free” – John Mayer. I feel like I am getting really close to everybody here. I am learning so much about all the kids on our trip and everyone is such a blast.

I went home for dinner at 8:00 and then headed back to the Plaza to again sit and relax with everyone. Boy do the Spaniard know how to lead stress-free lives. Earlier we had decided at the pool that we were going to teach Jenna (the Jersey Shore native) how to play Euchre! Unfortunately we had no cards, but no worries, we made our own. Jenna lost interest pretty quickly but the rest of us had a fun time playing! Next time we are bringing real cards though… we were having some difficulties.

We ended the night with some scrumptious gelato. Ahh viva la vida en España. (That’s two song lyrics for ya in one journal entry!)

Con cariño,
