The next day
I have offically figured out my classes for this semester. They might change but I don’t think so. I am taking El Isam (a history course on Islam in Spain), Contemporary History of Spain, and Spanish Art History of the 20th century in the program for other northamerican colleges. The other courses I am taking are with the other normal Spanish students and they are mentalities and beliefs in the 19th and 20th century and a class about colonization of countries in Africa and Asia, more or less. All of the classes will be in spanish.
I think tomorrow I am going to go to El Escorial, which is about an hour away on the train for the day. I think most of the people from my program are going. So far I have made a day trip to Toledo and a night trip to Segovia. The landscape is really pretty. I am going to post a few photos. Anyways, I probably won’t have the internet until Monday so I hope this will be enough for now. I have also tried mucho vino and it has all be good. At the supermercado you can get vino for under 1 euro that tastes pretty good for being that cheap.
Mmmm. Cheap wine. It’s like your desire for 40’s of malt liquor at the New York City bodegas has gone upscale. Are you going to see Laura’s family in El Escorial?

Hi Caitlin. Great posts so far. Have a great time in El Escorial this weekend. Badger men’s hoops finally broke their losing streak last night. Cheers!

your mom is at the condo staying with grandma. I told her I wouldn’t make her do the “wound changes”. She was happy…so was grandma.
