Sunday's plan: a group excursion to Tora. Meet at school at 1. Take the bus at 2. See sights. What fun!
How the day went: Wake up comfortably rested, look at the clock. 12:55PM (Spanish life lesson 12: invest in an alarm clock). Hop out of bed, frantically try to communicate with Merthedes that despite what we told her yesterday about the group meeting at two, we found out that the group meets at 1. Wake Katarina, scramble to get dressed, wolf down the breakfast lovingly prepared even though it's huge because we don't want to be rude, aaand it's about 1:15. Sprint to school. No one is there. Go to a local shop, try to ask about a bus to go to a city that no one knows exists, run home, grab the map and try to explain to Merthedes, Run to where we think is the bus stop. Continue running looking for other bus stops. Realize attempts are futile. Relax and spend a nice day visiting plazas and walking around the perfect ciudad de Valladolid. Baile baile. Later, Katarina and I decide it is time to make the brownies (bizcocho de chocolate y nueces aka sponges of chocolate and ) we brought for Merthedes. As it turns out, Merthedes' oven does not work so we attempt to make them stovetop, then with the microwave. Results vary but are overall delicious and likely a little too sweet for her. We successfully joke in two languages that this is the reason why Americans were overweight. Spanish life lesson 13: Food brings all peoples together, be it in the preparation or consumption. Awwww.
