Valencia

On the train

  

Lovely...



 Noemi had a meeting to go to in Valencia so she invited me to come to see the city... and how beautiful! We had to get up early to catch a train. Fortunately her friend Alvaro studies there and was going to his new apartment, so we were able to stay with him and his roomates. From the train we road the metro to his apartment and then back on the metro to walk around Valencia. It is known for it's architecture, which is so so beatuiful... We saw the market, churches, the town hall, the train station. It was a lot of walking with your mouth wide open taking in all the buildings and sights. Then we had to go to the meeting, which was just a few people and I ended up falling asleep. ha ha. But after we went to a starbucks and then did some shopping (yay) and later went out for dinner and then hung out at the apartment and again I kept falling asleep.   

Train station

We had to get up super early again to catch a train, but since the buses and metros weren't running we had to get a taxi. So we hailed a cab (very exciting for us) and went to the train station to wait for our train. After a nap we went to the school to meet the principal but he was very busy and so we are going to go back next week. School starts a week from tomorrow!! I'm really quite nervous, but Anais is going to be in my grade which makes me glad.

 

Last week Ines got a cold, and then Jose, and then Noemi... and now me. It's not as exciting to be sick in Spain as one would think (almost, though). ha ha. So therefore,  I have just been laying around and reading (The Boy in the Striped Pajamas in Spanish... very good practice!) But since it's just a cold, hopefully it will pass soon!

If you like grammar like me... they use the haber + past particple contruction a lot here. (:
