Ah, an Internet cafe.

It had to happen sometime...here I am in an Internet cafe in the train station in Salamanca. My wireless is being irritating again at home (the router needs to be reset but it´s in my host brother´s room) so I took a field trip. But when I asked how much it cost to use the Internet here, I didn´t realize that the girl would assume I meant one of their computers, not the wifi. So I would up paying 1.50 euro to use a computer for half an hour when I have my laptop in my backpack. Stuuuupid. Oh well.

Anyway. This weekend has been largely uneventful. I didn´t travel anywhere, so I´ve just been trying to find ways to entertain myself in Salamanca. Not so easy. Friday I still felt really sick, so I didn´t do much during the day, but I went out to dinner with my friend Maddie that night. We found this really amazing Italian place near one of our class buildings, and had farfalle with four-cheese sauce...delicious. Aaand they had ice cream filled crepes for dessert, yum. :)

The next day I did some homework in the morning, then went on a horseback riding excursion with IES in the afternoon. They bussed us to a ranch about 40 minutes outside the city. I originally wasn´t going to ride, but then I decided I didn´t want to miss out on the opportunity to say that I went horseback riding through the Spanish countryside, even though I´ve only been riding once before and I´m not a huge fan of the horses, haha. It ended up being not so bad, except for the fact that my horse just wanted to eat the ENTIRE time, and kept veering off to the side of the trail to munch on the weeds, no matter how many times I "Vamos"d. Plus I´m really sore today, haha, but it was a good time anyway.

Then last night I went and saw Vicky Cristina Barcelona with Maddie and another girl from IES, Kat. It was really good (if a little strange, maybe that´s a Woody Allen thing), and I was proud that I understood almost everything even though it was all in Spanish. So that was a good time! I also Skyped with the lovely ladies of Gallen 103, which was fantastic, and found out that I´m not going to have to miss out on seeing Michelle for a year after all! Yay. :)

And now my money is about to run out, so I have to go. I´m meeting Katie for tea in about an hour, so that´ll be nice, and I´ll probably try to get some homework done tonight. Then back to class tomorrow! Hope all is well, miss and love you. :)
