The cathedral was cold; I'm sure there's no way to heat it, it's so big. Outside is warmer than inside. We think it's in the 60's but we are unsure due to the Celsius system having no easy conversion method.
We walked into the plaza and saw several talented street performers and musicians. The best was a man with a puppet show type thing. The most interesting were Indians playing pipe instruments. We walked into a flea-market type of thing and saw people selling collectible money and jewelry.
Today we ate calamari which you could dip in homemade mayonnaise. Then we had two desserts: oranges with sugar and an ice cream bar. Isabel said that we have two desserts on Sunday. She said if we're good and practice our Spanish that she will give us two desserts on Sundays.
Katherine and I walked to a park very close to our house. [Speaking of parks, I just learned that the park of Maria Luisa, to was built for the 1929 worlds fair]. It was really nice and we did a little see-sawing. After that, we got a little lost exploring, but finally made it home.
We met Isabel's nephew tonight, who came over for dinner. He is twenty-five and helped us fix the internet on Katherine's computer. We asked about the Olympics and we can watch them here, but it seems that the skating will be broadcast live at two in the morning or something ridiculous.
Here is a picture of the park:
Have a good Super Bowl!
your writing is so good, not that i am biased, but i know lots of people will really enjoy reading this, including me. It sounds like you had a very interesting sunday. I suppose if you're going to go to a mass, Spain is a good place to do it. When i went to a mass with my friend as a girl, they read the scripture in latin.
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome you went to mass today. :) Kinda stinks there was no singing though, cause ususally there is. I really enjoy coming on here and reading about your day..I'm glad you're having a good time. Spain sounds awesome!
