The Sun Came Out!!

    So today started out with a bang.  Turns out that I accidentally set my alarm for an hour later than I had planned and I woke up 10 min before my first class started.  I'm not sure how I was out the door in less than 10 minutes, but I was.  I ended up only being 10 minutes late for class but my teacher was really cool about it.  Probably because I looked like I was a mess.  Luckily, Wednesday is my easy day and I only have two classes.

    After class, my friend Mackenzie and I booked flights to Rome for the long weekend next week.  Well we tried to book them.  None of the websites we used liked American debit cards, so we are still in the process, but that doesn't stop us from being excited.  We decided to travel all night next Thursday and all night the following Monday so that we can have four full days in Rome.  Hopefully by tomorrow all the little bugs are fixed and our trip will be officially booked.


   When I was leaving school to come home today the rain had stopped.  And even better, there was sun!  It was still sprinkling but that's normal Bilbao weather.  The flooded road had cleared up and everything looked beautiful.  I seriously fall in love with the Guggenheim every time I see it and it looked especially beautiful today drying in the sun.



    Tonight for supper my host dad made some type of soup, probably with some type of pumpkin or squash but added orange juice to it.  I love to try new things, but my host brother described it best: "Que Asco!" (How disgusting).  For dessert we had a sweet bun that was created in Bilbao called a Cristina.  My host brother ate his with butter.  Then he asked if we could try them with cream cheese and they were seriously the best.  Then I had to tell my mom about pickles and cream cheese dip.  She thought it sounded pretty crazy!

    I'll close out today with a picture from the hallway at school today.  Birds get in all the time!  I think this one was just looking for his next class :p
