Isabel's birthday

Is it supposed to rain still? Well, According to the news, there is flooding in Spain right now. They keep telling us that it usually doesn't rain here, so I guess we're just in an off month.
Anyways, today was Isabel's birthday. She told us that she would't do anything to celebrate, but we wanted to get her something. Apparently they do not have birthday cards in Spain. I looked around and didn't see a single one. Katherine thought of getting her a bouquet of flowers and she was very pleased with them. Several of the nephews came for lunch, as well as her brother, so we had a big group fancy lunch. Juan had to give us a lesson in eating whole shrimp. They brought a chocolate cake for Isabel, and I was SO excited. I have never had cake in Spain. It was a little different from birthday cake here, but chocolate none the less. Isabel had also made flan,so we had two desserts.
Today I had my second test of the intensive grammar class. It was tricky.
Today was a good day.
These are some more pictures from the Cathedral.
