So far, I have enjoyed my first week in Salamanca. I moved into an apartment with my senora and her husband. They are both about 60 years old or so. They have grandchildren that visit almost every day. Both girls that are 1 and 3 years old. Super cute! I have yet to take pictures of mi casa, but hopefully will this week because I have to cook an American dinner for mi familia as a homework assignment. I think I'll be attempting to cook meat loaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans. Problem is, they only have a stove top. Needless to say, for those that know me, I'm not the best cook; this should be interesting.
This past weekend I went to Lisbon and Cascais in Portugal with a few of my friends from school here. We spent the night in a very nice hostel on one of the beaches in Cascais. Cascais (pronounced Cash-kye-sh) has some of the most beautiful beaches in Portugal. We had a great time and enjoyed the fourth of July by cooking hotdogs on the beach with our friends in the hostel and watching some fireworks that were being lit off near by. We got really lucky and met some great people at the hostel. One guy was from Canada and another from Chicago. The owners spoke English, Italian, Russian, and Portuguese and were super nice! Before we left Portugal, we spent most of our last day in Lisbon. We visited the Castelo de San Jorge that has one of the best views of the city. Lisbon was a very nice city, but like Portugal, in general, it really depends where you go.
Here is a link to view all of my pictures from Portugal:
