First weekend/ La Primera fin de semana

On Friday night I went out for the first time. I went to a bar behind the cathedral and had a typical Spanish drink, red wine and coke. It may sound very werid but I was surprised to find that I liked it a lot. Saturday I went to the Cathedral and walked around a bit while one of my teachers told us historical things about it. For homework I have to write a summary of what she told us for next Saturday. Then we walked up to the ruins of the castle and took a tour of the tunnels that were built to escape from the castle and to get at the water underground. On the way we stoped somewhere that had a very good view of the city. The tunnels were a little creepy and as the tour was in spanish I didn't understand many of them. On Saturday night, I played poker with a couple of people in the dorms, it was a very interesting experience. Today I had a mini-class with the director of the program about some of Spain's history mostly during Franco's rule. Tomorrow I have a language class at the University in the morning and a meeting with the residencia (dorm) director in the evening. It snowed but did not stick a little bit this afternoon which is not common at all for Spain. Also the it has been very very windy these past couple of days which has made it very cold. The forcast calls for rain the rest of the week. I have the internet on my laptop now which is very nice. It will be interesting to start class and to get into a rythmn.
