Happily Spain

Hola hola! Yesterday was business as usual until the afternoon, when we had a quick meeting with Ramiro and a Spanish doctor about the Ebola thing. It was interesting, but the basic gist was just that we're fine and there's nothing to worry about.

Barfy cute but great food

After the meeting, we went with Riva to a cutesy little bakery-cafe place called "La Cocina de mi Vecino" (My Neighbor's Kitchen). Cronuts, Oreo cheesecake, chocolate croissants, specialty coffee drinks, and, of course, empanadas. Ok, Spain.

But the cafe was very cute, all lavender walls and honey pots and sugar bowls shaped like cupcakes. We hung out for awhile pretending to study, but mostly just looking up various hostels around Europe, thinking about where we want to travel. We have a week off after the end of classes in December, so we're thinking maybe Paris, maybe Italy. We'll see, we'll see.

This morning was our Latinamerican lit midterm, so we'll see how that went. Then we were off to the pool, where we got to swim with the Middlebury girls again. This time we got to do the whole workout, and it was GREAT. We had to skip about 250 meters because those girls are fastfastfast and we didn't want to get in the way, but we still ended up swimming about 5300 meters in 90 minutes. More Sharks than Stroke, but it felt so good, I really miss swimming with a team. I'm even considering the 5:30 workouts once we're home.

Then we had Ramiro class, and then home to pack for TOULOUSE! We've got a pretty early flight tomorrow, but we wanted to make the most of our time, since we'll be there less than 72 hours. But we are PUMPED! Updates to come, we may not be super consistent with blogging while there, but we'll be back Sunday night, so you shouldn't miss much.
