This blog is my online diary. I want to chronicle my day to day activities so that while I am away from my friends and family they know what's going on in my life.

What you missed these past few days
So i have gotten really lazy. I haven't posted in forever. But not too much has happened. We went to Piornal last weekend, and it was beautiful there. We got to pick cherries, and raspberries, and they were so good! They also had fresh ham, which if you have looked at my FB pics, they were the entire pig legs hanging in the supermarket. It was really good, but a bit disturbing knowing that they had just cut it from a leg of a pig. Especially since the foot was still on it. But then we came home, and had a fairly uneventful week. THen this past weekend, Carmen, David and the kids went to Caceres, and I stayed home, because I had plans to go to a nearby city, Toledo. But sadly, on Friday, the girl I was going with texted and said her friend broke up with her boyfriend of 4 years because he cheated on her, and she was going to go and see her. So I ended up not going to Toledo, because I didn't want to go alone, and take a bus all by myself, and spend a day touristing all alone. Especially since my Spanish is improving, but still not good enough where I can get by. So I ended up staying at home, and relaxing. Which was nice. And then Sunday, I went with Irene to a museum, the Prado. I swear we saw all of the paintings in hat museum. And we did see almost all of them. Which is quite a feat. I really enjoyed it though. We then went to the retiro, the huge park in the middle of Madrid. We ate lunch there, and saw a bunch of protestors again, and I almost got lost in the crowd of people. We then headed over to the Teleferico, which is a cable car ride. It was cool, and I got to see some pretty cool views of Madrid. Monday was a holiday here in Tres Cantos, so the family stayed in Caceres, and I had another day to relax. But now back to work, if I can actually call it that. :P I have only 12 days left here in Spain, out of a total of 81 days. Wow.
