So, its official. One third of my exchange is over. I really don't like to think too much about it, it seems like just yesterday that I was squished between those two Catalanes on the freezing 10 hour flight over here. My Spanish is still far from perfect, my friends still constantly have to correct me and I think both parties are getting a little exhausted, but when I take a step back its amazing to see how far I have come. I (more or less) understand most of my classes now and I can talk to strangers and friends alike without that crippling inner panic attack.
This weekend in Caceres, there was a medieval market, and it was so cool! The market is held because anciently Caceres was the crossroads of three different cultures: Arabic, Jewish, and Christian. So, every year they have this market with decorations, stands, and food from each filling the old part of the city. It was amazing to think that once upon a time, there was actually something like this happening here! It was beautiful and I brought my camera to fill up my memory card but it decided to choose this weekend not to work and break my heart.
Next weekend, my family and I are going to Madrid! I am so so so excited, as I have only seen it from the airport. It will also be awesome to see all of the christmas lights that people have told me are amazing.
Besitos!
Bailey
