Not too much has happened lately. The most exciting thing that I have done was taken a trip to a near-by town named Valencia where I did a little souvenir shopping and got some Starbucks with one of my friends here. It was a beautiful day and a lovely trip. I love Valencia because it is slightly bigger than Castellon and there is a Starbucks as well as a few other places that remind me of home.
Also, Inma's son and grandson recently had birthdays last weekend so we all go together and ate lunch and of course sang feliz cumpleanos to them and ate cake. It was a wonderful Sunday with my family here. I was also able to see how much more I understand in Spanish which is always a plus!
I also have passed my 100 days left until I return home which is a happy and sad realization at the same time. I miss my friends and family and am excited to come home to you all soon, but I know I will miss my family and friends here as well.
My live is about to get more interesting here for a while though. Tomorrow morning begins a festival called Magdalena here in Castellon. There are bull fights, a walk to a mountain, and many more traditions for me to look forward to and experience. I will only be in town until Wednesday morning though as I will be meeting my parents in Barcelona Wednesday evening and we will then be flying out to Rome, Italy Thursday morning. We will be there until Monday night and then we will spend the next few days in Spain until they leave Thursday. I will of course post about that after they leave.
I then get about two weeks to relax and then I will have a visit from my Grandparents. I am again meeting them in Barcelona and then we will be taking day trips around the area and exploring Barcelona. Once they leave I will only have a little over two months left and I know the time will fly faster than it has been even.
My host mom continues to tell me that I speak Spanish very well and that I am improving. I know that my Spanish class that will be beginning next week will help my Spanish continue to grow. I think that I am getting a little too acostumed to the lifestyle here. I am very relaxed and calm and enjoy my relaxing afternoons which sometimes include the siesta. The weather is getting warmer so hopefully that means that I will be going to the beach soon!
Hope all is well! Hasta luego!
