La Primera Semana! Orientacion en Santiago de Compostela

Hola Amigos!!! (Si quieres leer en ingles desplazas hacia abajo -scroll down for english!)
Estoy pasando este semestre en el hermoso pais de Espana. El jueves de la semana pasada, nosotros empezamos nuestra orientacion en la ciudad de Santiago de Compostela - una ciudad con una catedral muy famosa, que se llama la Catedral de Santiago. La ciudad es vieja y bella y actualmente, esta lleno de turismos y peregrinos.

Hasta el momento, Espana es un lugar llena de las siguientes cosas...
Cafe
Siesta
Pulpo y Jamon Serrano
Queso
Catedrales
Hombres que encantan las chicas americanas
Piropos fantasticos y comiquisimos [El piropo mas fantastico que he oido es.... "Te gusta el pollo?? Te ve como pollo! Tan guapa!" (Yo no tenia ningun idea que pollos fueron gaupas.....)]
Cenas que empiezan a las 9:30 de la noche
Fiestas que terman a las 5 de la manana
Coches pequenas
Personas viejas que encantan pasar su tiempo en las bellas parques
Ninos muy adorables --con ropa como las munecas de las "American Girl Dolls"
Arquitectura hermosa
Gente simpatica

Y finalmente, casitas con techos el color de la madrugada.

En todo, me encanta.

La fin de la semana pasada, nosotros viajamos por Espana y Portugual - y veemos viejas catedrales, unos museos, una ciudad celta con muchas ruinas, y una ciudad en la costa del oceano Atlantico. Esta semana, nosotros tenemos dos clases-- una de la literatura espanola, y otra de la historia espanola. Los dos fueron muy interesantes y manana tenemos examenes.

Tambien, esta semana hemos tenido muchos excursiones a la ciudad vieja -- veemos dos museos de Santiago, aprendimos de la arquitectura barroca de la ciudad vieja, y tambien caminamos por la catedral - y tambien encima de su techo!

Nosotros volaremos a Madrid este Lunes y no puedo esperar.

Todavia, no tengo un conector para mi camera pero mis fotos estaran aqui muy pronto!!!

Vos extrano mucho!!!
Besos,
-Ana





Hello Friends!!!!
I am spending this semester in the beautiful country of Spain. The thursday before last, we began our orientation in the city of Santiago de Compostela - a city with a very famous cathedral called la Catedral de Santiago. The city is gorgeous, and is currently full of tourists and pilgrims making their trips from all over Europe through the Camino de Santiago.

So far, I have come to believe that Spain is most accurately represented by the following list...
Coffee
Siesta
Octopus and Ham
Cheese
Cathedrals
Young men who love young American women
Fantastic and hilarious pick up lines [The best pick-up line I have thus heard has been... "Do you like chicken? You look like a chicken! How beautiful!" (I had no idea chickens were beautiful....)]
Dinners that begin at 9:30pm
Parties that end at 5am
Small cars
Old people who love to spend their time in the beautiful parks
Adorable children -with clothing like the American Girl Dolls
Beautiful architecture
Nice people

And finally, small houses with roofs the color of sunrise.

In all, I love it.

Last weekend, we traveled through Spain and Portugal - we saw cathedrals, some museums, an old Celtic city full of ruins, and another beautiful old city on the Atlantic coast. This week, we have had two classes - one on Spanish literature, and another on Spanish history. Both have been really interesting and tomorrow we have exams! We've also had many excursions to the old city this week - we saw two museums of Santiago, we learned about the Baroque architecture of the old city on a walking tour with a renowned art and architecture professor / historian, and we walked through the Cathedral - (and also on top of it!)

We fly to Madrid this Monday and I can't wait to get there and meet my host family!

I still don't have my camera connector but my photos will be up here very soon!

I miss y'all lots!
Besos!
-Ana
