So...this has been an interesting week! Last weekend we went to Seville and Cordoba. It is absolutely beautiful there! However, I still love Granada the most because of the intimate feel with the locals and my familiarity with the city. Also, Granada is a college town so it is a lot cheaper! This weekend I started reading a ton of novels (yes, in English...I am not fluent YET!) By ton I mean 3 Mary Higgins Clark novels, my bible, and I am currently in the middle of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas. Anyway, it´s nice to take a break from so much Spanish immersion and soak up some English every once in awhile.
Ok, back to my life in Spain! On Monday I felt a little under the weather so I decided to stay in from classes: sleep, eat, and read! On Tuesday I had a hilarious language barrier incident with my Spanish professor. We were talking about different traditions and holidays and celebrations between Spain and the U.S.A., and I was talking about wedding traditions in America and how we always have bridal showers, lingerie showers, and bachelorette/bachelor parties...(this was all in very broken Spanish, mind you) Anyway, I was explaining that at these events a lot of advice is given to the bride and groom about the future, about the wedding night, etc. And my professor was like what kind of advice? And I was like well...you know...about like children and stuff...and she said, but la noche de la boda? (the night of the wedding) And all of us in the class just lost it laughing...and she just kept asking what advice I would give for the wedding night, and I said, ¡yo no sé! ¡No sé! (I don´t know! I don´t know!) Needless to say, she was very confused because apparently I used the wrong word for advice and we both had no clue what the other was wanting to know!
