Day Three

Today we went on a bus tour around the city, after a breakfast of toast, cookies, and rich hot chocolate. After the bus tour we went to the most amazing plaza, called the Plaza de Espana. It is an old Muslim defensive fort, with intricate mosaic tiles. We walked around a park for a while and saw a lot of people and tourists biking, riding in carriages, rollerblading, and walking.
We had spaghetti for lunch, but very late, at about three fifteen. The food is nothing like Mexican food and is not spicy. We walked to the center for a movie and then I walked around with my friend through our neighborhood. I get so tired from all of the walking! We walk from our apartment to downtown about three times a day. Our neighborhood and the one next to us are separated from the city by a big river. We use the three bridges as reference points. The streets have a lot of cars and a lot of pedestrians. It's weird to see traffic lights whose only purpose is to stop traffic and let people cross the street. The street names are on the sides of buildings, which was hard to get used to and are sometimes hard to find.
Today was a good day.
