I am happy to inform you that the weather here has now decided to be GORGEOUS! As if in celebration, yesterday our group spent the day riding horses at a beautiful horse farm in a town outside of Salamanca. I haven't ridden a horse in...about 10 years, and never for a long amount of time. It was crazy. Mine was pretty slow and fairly obedient, so I didn't have a bit of trouble, except for it occasionally running me into branches of trees. The neatest part was that all of our madres came a long to watch us and eat a big picnic dinner. It was cool to finally see all of the madres I've heard so much about, and to show off Capilla, too.
So back to this countdown, eh? I've only got a week left and still TONS of great things to tell you about!
8. Get food from a stand. Like a stand on a street somewhere...anywhere! In my experience, its always good. I've tried fresh baked potatoes stuffed with just about anything you could possibly imagine, and hot, crispy churros with steaming chocolate to dip them in. Way to go, Spain!
9. Try any of the three things Spaniards have thought to do with wine:
- Sangria: wine with fruit and such
- Calimocho: wine with coca-cola (sounds weird...but its good!)
- Tinto de Verano: red wine and Lemonade or lemon fanta...amazingly good and cheap!
10. Back on the places to visit track: Las Cuevas de Castilla...some of the oldest cave paintings in the world! Not to mention the region it is in...Cantabria is one of the most naturally beautiful places I've seen.
Part IV coming soon...if I can manage it amidst all these tests and papers!
Wish me luck. See you stateside in a week!
love,
Lindsay
