From then to now

So, Caceres is where Carmen grew up, and also where her parents and brother live.  It is a beautiful place.  The drive there was about 3 hours, but totally worth it.  The "old town" is beautiful.  It is all cobbled streets and just really cool looking.  There are even still people who live there, which I think is really cool.  I wish I could live there.  

Feria (i think) was going on during the weekend we went, which is pretty much a hugefestival with tents, and lots of food, and tents masquerading as clubs.  It had a carnival attached as well, which reminded me a lot of the county fair.  Some of Carmen and David's friends joined us adn e went dancing and had a great time.  I got to try squid even, and it was pretty good.  I liked it.  :)  Later on, I even had kidney.  I wasn't such a big fan of it, but I still ate it.  I think it counts.  I have been trying so much new food, and it's actually really good.  Usually I try it before I know what it is, so I'm not biased, like liver pate.  Not as bad as I thought it was going to be.  

So I have also been hanging out with Irene, an older sister of one of Lucia's friends.  She is only a year younger than me, and she speaks English very well.  The other day we went to the outdoor market, and the zip-line in the park, with a bunch of her friends, and it was really fun.  I hope to have more adventures with her sometime.

The past few days have been kind of rainy, but today looks promising.  Weather here has been colder than typical, or at least I am told, with temperatures ranging from 60-70.  I'm hoping for warmer weather soon, because wearing a jacket or jeans everyday is no fun.  I want to wear all the shorts I brought!  :P
