El castillo de sax

School started today... but it was only for an hour. We just got our class assignments and our schedules. The schedules are very different here; every day of the week is a different schedule. So next week is when it really begins... oh boy!

Something exciting: I went to the Castle in the town this week with Anais and Andrea! It is empty, just a couple towers, but nonetheless incredible. You can walk all the way up it and then there is the most amazing view of the town. It was a really neat experience.

I have gone on a couple walks with two ladies who are friends with Solene, they are super nice. It reminded me of walking at Joyner Park with Rocio and Yeni (: Anyway, one of the ladies wants me to help her daughter with English and she said they would pay me... little bit of dough!

Yesterday I went to Villena with Anais to hang out with some of her friends. One girl has been studying English a lot and speaks it pretty well. So we talked in Spanish for a while so I could practice and then English for a while so she could practice. (: very fun!

Tonight we are going to a big basketball game in Alicante and then tomorrw we are going to Madrid to get Noemi situated in her new place!

I started another book in castellano...it's good for learning!
