friday night.  4 am:  I am standing amongst 400 spainards who are all my age in a 15th century courtyard next to a famous cathedral. 



Saturday morning 11am: I am on a running trail in the mountains overlooking the entire city of oviedo (ill bring my camera next time...)


Sat night 8 pm: drinking Austrias's famous cidra (a cider type drink that waiters pour very dramatically at full wingspan...apparently, it needs to be properly shaken before drinking) with new friends while the sun sets and the spainards chat around us..

Sunday: walking around Oveido with Lola and Chismo whatching the clouds roll in, laying in the grass and chomping on a 40 cent bagette. 



I wish i could paint the picture more vividly, but the life i have been living here in Oviedo has been too unbelievable to even describe. I am still in the "pinch me" stage...its almost seems to good to be true.

 Today was the 1st real day of school, and even that was epic!  My program is about 100 kids from all over the world- all of whom are extremely nice and excited to explore as much as i am...While here i will be taking 5 classes which meet monday through friday for up to 5 hrs a day.  Thus far, I love all of my teachers and classmates- especially my art history class. 

my explinations to come....but for now im just going to let my pictures do the talking.


My room!


My first experience with Curros con Chocolate.  Essentially a dark chocolate bar melted into a cup and sugar coated donuts.  What a combo
