So today was nice and laid backish. We had a small breakfast, mostly croissants, toast, that sort of thing. They have this amazing chocolate and white chocolate spread that rivals nutella for amazingness. We had a short walking tour of where we had to go tomorrow morning to take our placement exam, and where the Colegio de Espana is. They're very old buildings, and the building that the college is in was built in the 16th century. Then we walked to the plaza mayor and they told us which ways to go for certain things. Then we went for lunch and I had my first paella (no meat for me though) and it was incredibly delicious. Very rich. Most of the food at the restaurant that we're eating at is very salty, however.
Then we went back to the hostel and a few of us went back to the mall where we had watched the game and went shopping. I bought a few simple shirts since I couldn't really find anything that fit me nicely. Usually we'd have much more shopping options in the streets surrounding the hostel, but on Sunday's most everything is closed. We did find a supermarket that was in the basement of the mall and I got some fruit and little things to eat while I'm here. The mall wasn't really like a usual mall, it was almost like a gigantic macy's with different designers having different sections all around the five or six floors of the building.
Now I'm back, after sitting out eating strawberries and reading on the balcony. We're eating around 8, and have a meeting to talk about information we need to know (buses, stamps, etc) and the plan for tomorrow, and then i'm pretty sure i'm just going to relax. Last night we went out and had a few drinks. One of the girls who was with us even won a booty dancing contest and got 30 euros!
