Half-Way Done!
I have now spent over a month living and working in Villanueva and it’s amazing how quickly the time is going by. In our spare time during the weekend, the other interns and I have been traveling a lot. Since my last blog post, we have been to Sevilla, Cádiz, Málaga, and Ronda. In Sevilla we visited many beautiful monuments. We walked to the Plaza de España and rowed around the canal in a rowboat. I even saw my high school Spanish teacher again! What a coincidence. We also visited the Torre del Oro and the cathedral and went shopping. I bought a pair of pink pants and a pair of yellow shorts from Zara. I also bought a pink sparkly fan which I love.
In both Cádiz and Málaga we spent a lot of time on the beach. I was very happy because there weren’t any jellyfish. In Cádiz I didn’t put on enough sunscreen and I got very sunburnt. But I learned my lesson and the next week in Málaga I made sure to put lots on to protect my skin. In Málaga I was able to see my aunt and my cousin who are living there for the summer. It was so nice to see my family and to enjoy a nice relaxing day on the beach. The waves were perfect and I had a lot of fun jumping in the water and they rolled to the shore.
In Villanueva I have been eating lots of tomatoes! My family eats them with every single meal along with bread. I’ve never eaten so many tomatoes in my life. When I was a kid, I really didn’t like tomatoes, but as I’ve grown older I’ve started to like them more and more. And after how many I have eaten so far this summer, I like them more than ever.
Until next time!
