Enamorandose de España

We settled into our rooms and the dorm and we are finally getting accostumed to the time difference and the cultural and otherwise differences of this beautiful country. We are embracing our "PMA" as Celestino calls it, or "Positive Mental Attitude" as we learn about and fall more in love with Spain.
Our classes began yesterday and are really quite interesting. Everyone is practicing their speaking and really enjoying themselves.

We visited Puerta del Sol on the 4th of July and ate at an incredible restaurant. The nightlife at the Plaza had a calm yet excited vibe, with bands, living statues, dancers, and people in the streets enjoying life. We walked around and did some shopping and the students really loved it, asking if we could come back soon.
Today we went to El Parque de Retiro. We were amazed at the size and beauty of the park, as we walked along the trails, watched the people in their boats, then had a refreshing limonada in the shade of the many statues and trees. The new rollerbladers were especially hilarious to witness.
¡Mañana vamos a Segovia! Escribiré más después de nuestro viajito allí...
