School & Food

School has been going well - four hours a day is a long time to sit in one class with one teacher, but we do get a 15min break and a 5minute break which usually helps me stay awake. We do a lot of practice speaking, some listening and a little writing, and grammar. It's been raining here quite a bit, but today was at least warmer. We're going to some free ladies night bar tonight, but I have class tomorrow morning so who knows how long I'll actually stay out.

Meal recap:

Sunday night - hamburger, good right? No. Appeared cooked on the outside, but definitely was not. I regretted the decision to eat this later.

Monday: Paella for lunch, Fried chicken bits and tuna salad for dinner

Tuesday: Chicken, tomato, noodle soup. Chicken noodle soup, tortillas espanoles, cheese, ham, salad.

Wednesday: Pasta with chicken for lunch, fish and potatoes for dinner.

Last night we booked our first excursion for the break we have from jan 30 to feb 8th. We are going to fly to madrid, then to paris on january 30th, arrive late in paris and check into the Jules Ferry hostel, then stay there until wednesday morning when we fly to rome (two hour flight :)) and stay there at the Lilliput hostel until Saturday night. Then we fly out late saturday to madrid, and basically sleep in the airport until the plane to Granada arrives in the morning around 630, and then we get back to Granada feb 7th around 730am.

We're planning to visit a few places I've been in Paris, like the Louvre, Cathedrale de Notre Dame, Arc de Triomph, maybe Monmarte and definitely the Eiffel tower. We also would like to see the Moulin Rouge which I've never been to.

Then in Rome we want to see the colosseum, palatine hill (which encompasses a bunch of houses and temples), the sistine chapel, probably the basilica de san pietro, and definitely vatican city.
