Short post time :)

Just loving on Spain a bit more! The weather has been absolutely beautiful. Just perfect! Yesterday night was the Spain vs. Portugal game for the World Cup (Villa Villa Villa, Villa Mara-villa!), and we went to a bar on the beach to watch it. Let me just point how much I LOVE to watch the games with the locals. They produce a very colorful vocabulary, that's for sure. But their intensity for the game is just awesome... and I'm sorta kinda sad I'll be missing the next game because I'll be in ROMA! Yeahhh baby! Okay, so Rome wins.

Today we took a group excursion to Santillana del Mar, the same town I went to with my aunt and uncle. We were only there for a couple of hours, and we went into the Roman church in the town that I didn't see when I was there earlier. Beautiful! I'm in love with the churches here, without a doubt. Berta, our teacher from Western, pointed out to us that the names of people from Santillana that died during Franco's reign were inscripted into the side of the church. Pretty cool. And inside was the tomb of St. Juliana. Also kinda cool. Berta told us that it's tradition for girls to eat a sabao (a kind of pastry) and drink a glass of milk if they want to get married... within the next year. Okay folks, I can't say as though I feel this desire whatsoever, but I decided to test tradition and had me some sabao and leche. Parents, start saving money just in case. Just kidding :)

Anyway, tomorrow's the last day of school for the weekend, and then ROMAROMAMAAA. Kind of excited, if you couldn't tell. ;) Until then/hasta luego!

Abrazos y besos,
