in spain

today, i've been in spain for a week already. i've been to avila, salamanca, el escorial, segovia madrid, toledo, zaragova y hoy llegamos en barcelona (or, as they say phonetically en espanol, barthelona) ive seen a lot of cathedrals, castles, monestaries and cobblestone streets. manana voy a visitar la buildings moderno de gaudi
i feel like i've known these girls (and the only guy in the program, kyle) for a lot longer than that ya, which is really nice.
The spanish have the second highest life expectancy in the world, smoke like chimneys, get almost the least amount of sleep of any country, with the average being about 6 hours a night, and dress impecabbly all the time. They also have great posture, even when riding vespas.
I am averaging about 5 hours a night, have terrible back pain, my clothes all smell like smoke, and didn't have my luggage for 2 days in salamonca, but i am still having a fantastic time.
everyday, i say im going to go to bed at midnight, but then dinner isn't usually until 9, and then we go out, even if we only stay out for an hour, its 11 ya, and then we have to talk about our days and what spanish words or customs we learned, and then its 3 suddenly. and then some days, we stay out to 5, so then its 6 when we go to sleep.
today, i am definitely getting to bed. ahora misma. mas o menos.
