One week til El Campo with Manolo!

Hello Amigos!

Good news first: (there is no bad news by the way): Our señor, Manolo, told us today that he would take us with him to "el campo"(his house in the countryside) next sunday! We are so excited....a day with Manolo! Yes! If only we could understand him!  It's like, we're coming back early from our trip to pick cherries with Manolo at el campo! YAY

Not too much has happened since our last post, but I'll fill you in on a few things.  Yesterday, we visited the Alhambra, a famous palace in Granada, and it was B-E-A-U-tiful.  The weather was awesome and it was the perfect day to go.  When we got back, Janelle and I took a nap (of course) for about 3 hours (as usual).  We then got up, ate dinner and went out with some friends for the night.  We went to the discoteca, danced the night away and then came back to get some sleep before La playa!  We spent today laying out on a beach called Almuñecar that we went to with our AIFS group.  It was a much needed day of relaxation and vitamin D. We layed out, ate helado, and took some interesting walks/hikes to the nearby rocks at the point. Janelle and I can now say that we've gone completely under (even though the water was shockingly cold) and successfully peed in the Mediterranean. 

This coming week, there's a holiday going on in Spain called Corpus Christi and we don't have school wednesday thursday or friday. Hooooorayy! Janelle, Kim, Alyssa, and I are planning on going to Madrid, Toledo, and possibly Malaga.  I can't wait!  Well, that's all for now! 

Adios,

Elizabeth and Janelle

P.S. We love school here. Although we have class for 5 hours a day, the most homework we've had is 10 minutes a night!  We learn a ton in class and so they don't give a lot of work (so far at least). It rocks!
