Today's Adventure: Swimming

So today, after class and a lovely siesta, I decided to go work out. María told me about this olympic-size pool that was a decently short walk from our piso, so I figured it couldn't be that hard. And it really wasn't that bad… I just got lost for a while… and when I asked someone for help they weren't from Salamanca… then it was super busy at the pool so it was hard to actually work out… and I forgot my flip flops… and a towel… moral of the story is, I may not have died or anything, but it was a little bit of a mess. On the bright side, I now know what to do and what not to do. Half the battle, right?

That's really the most exciting story I have so far. My mother requested a photo of my living quarters and my host mom… here's the living quarters, I don't have one of María quite yet. I'll work on that. See if I can get a whole family photo with Megan & David too. That just requires everyone being home at the same time… which could be difficult!

So that's my side of the room. There's a little closet to the left where, miraculously, all my clothes fit. The bed is kind of messy right now because I just kinda dump my stuff and then clean it up before I go out at night or go to bed. There's a bunch of books on the shelves that others students have left, so I won't run out of reading material! And those are Megan's legs, I think she was sky ping with her boyfriend when I took the photo. Also, the calendar is from some other students she had, but it's a Colorado calendar! It sounds like she's had a lot of students from Colorado, both Boulder & Denver. Oh, and they're kinda hard to see, but on my bottom shelf there's a tumbler glass from Jamba Juice, and Megan has one on the right edge of the photo. A student left María those so that the students can fill them up before they go out for the night, and then they don't have to worry about waking up María if they want water when they get home! Genius, those kids.

Also, I just realized from going through some of my other posts that you already have photos of the bedroom. Currently I'm super shy about taking photos of the apartment because I dunno if María would be okay with it (yes Daddy, I know I should just ask her) but I'll try to get on that!! 

I'll hopefully take some photos of the free fireworks and free concert tonight, so I'll post those tomorrow! Chau!
