First feelings of home sickness!

Hi!

A week ago I was robbed while having a picnic in Parque de Retiro and dealing with everything has taken so much time and energy...I should´ve prepared myself better for it since I knew it was bound to happen. But anyways it happened and I should stop thinking about it. Luckily I got a new credit card in a few days and the insurance is gonna cover some of it.

I´ve still managed to enjoy my life and everything is fantastic. THE summer is arriving and I´m planning trips and taking it (wasy too) easy... I shoud start doing more school stuff..

Yesterday I saw a fantastic Flamenco show and a week ago I attended my first Real Madrid match. Just awesome!
I´m supprised about how much my spanish skills have improved since I arrived..I mean I still cannot carry on a proper conversation but I manage to get myself understood when I need to get things done. So I rarely need to deal with the attitude that many people here have about foreigners who don´t speak spanish at all.

Next weekend we´re going to Salamanca which is supposed to be one of the nicest cities of Spain.

Again..so little time to write about these things...Sorry!

Santiago Bernabeu and Real Madrid vs. Real Sociedad
Plaza Mayor
Royal Palace and Garden
Fabulous Flamenco show!

Hasta luego!
