Sometimes it gets really hot here (understatement of the year). Sometimes you get lost here (understatement of the century). And sometimes you get lost when it is really hot (you get the picture).
Today started out well with a trip to the Museo de Salamanca. We absorbed some Spanish history and got the chance to see some amazing artwork. By the time we left the museum it was around 11:00 and the temperatures had begun to rise… Currently there is quite a bit of construction in Spain and of course we ran into it, taking us nearly a mile off track, and subsequently lost in a foreign country without a clue in the world.
Famished to the point of seeing mirages, we bought a baguette for 70 cents (I know, right?!) and finally found El Rastro (the local market). It was so worth it! It was so colorful and full of vibrant clothing and jewelry. I purchased an F.C. Barcelona jersey that I can’t wait to rock when we play pick up soccer back home.
So when in Spain, do as the Spaniards, right? (It’s not the romans if you were wondering). Awesome. Perfect excuse to buy clothes and try to fit in. And if you want to fit in, buy harem pants a.k.a. Aladdin pants. SUCCESS! They are the most comfortable pantalones en el mundo, gente. I am currently wearing them right now as I am writing this. Bringing the trend to the U.S. get ready.
After the market I indulged in a 2 hour siesta *yawns * before heading out for a great run with Jenna. The bike paths here are awesome and we went for six hours along the river as we chatted about our days here.
Tomorrow is an early day so I am going to go watch the Bachelorette (I just downloaded it!!) while I sit in bed. Miss you all.
Besitos y Abrazos,
Katherina
