out and about




so i survived the first week of classes! they all went really well. i guess i cant really elaborate more until we really get into the swing of things. i do have homework this weekend. i guess it was inevitable, summer couldnt last forever!

thursday i went for a run with rachel. its fun exploring different parts of the city on our runs. we ran in kind of a residential area then hiked some steps up to place that overlooked the city. we found a neat cemetery up the hill as well! we went to a bar in arreta. it was kind of a welcome thing for the students. it was a lot of fun. one of the guys in charge of the programs worked out drink specials and no cover etc. which was nice.

today we went to the Guggenheim! it really was amazing to just cross the bridge from school, and be at the museum! the huge puppy made of flowers was one of my favorite things! the exhibits inside were neat - definitely modern. they had a piece of art that was 8 little chevy cars with lights sticking out of them in all directions. they were suspended in the air creating the effect of the car following a path. it was different. we ate lunch at this little pincho (tappas) cafe. it was so cheap and so good! i really couldnt stomach the idea of eating lunch at the dorm. i wanted to enjoy food for once.

no sure what the plans are for the rest of the weekend, but i'm really loving no friday classes!
