La Plaza Mayor at night!Buenos dias!
I've been writing a lot recently, so I figure this post can be mostly pictures... The first huge batch is up on facebook but here are some of the best for those who don't have facebook!
For just a quick summary of the past day, I ended up staying out until 5:30 am! Granted, about an hour of this was us getting perdidas (lost), jaja. I tried a cool German beer called Palauner or something like that, and we found a fun place to go dancing with the whole group. Needless to say Mass this morning didn't happen. A few of us are going later this evening instead. Hopefully I can catch a daily Mass at the cathedral one morning since I missed it today and I don't know how many Sundays I'll be in Salamanca. When I feel a little more comoda (comfortable) with my spanish I may even attempt to go to confession...we'll see! This afternoon we went to el rastro, a market place just outside of the city. It wasn't quite what I expected-more of a garage sale- but it was a good experience. I will definitely be sleeping during siesta today!
i'm really curious about the mass, so make sure to post something about it. it'll be cool to hear how they do it in a different country.
ReplyDeleteThey do it just like we do it- just like the whole world does it! A few interesting things though- there was no music, only like 1/3 of the people there went to get Communion, and we were by far the youngest people there. I've heard that in Europe in general young people don't go to church, unfortunately. The church was SOOOO gorgeous- I'm going to go around taking pictures of churches hopefully tomorrow.
