Yesterday was such a full day that by the time all the activity was done I was fast asleep! I spent most of the morning with maddie, excluding the visit to the prado. Because my mother and I had gone the day prior to yesterday we went off in search of an atm machine. It was a very lazy sunday morning and we saw few people out on the street. It was a fine time to look for something becausethere weren´t any crowds to obstruct our way. I guess I should skip the part where maddie and I met up again because she described it below.. but at about 4:00 p.m. I did meet my host family. I have a new mom, dad, sister, and younger sister. The sister´s names are Claudia and Lucia. Claudia is 15 and Lucia is 10, they are both very petite and extremely nice. During our three our car ride to Zaragoza learned that Lucia, like many other ten year old american girls, is in love with ¨Hannah Montana¨ and ¨The jonas Brothers¨. Claudia does not share the same fascination with the two popular disney characters, but instead prefers to fantasize about a popular vampire and werewolf. In the car Claudia and I listened to Lady Gaga, Rihanna, and other artists that we both enjoyed. I have to admit... there were some akward pauses when neither of us knew what to say, but all in all.. it turned out pretty well. It was dark when were driving and one thing that I clearly remeber was right before you get into the city of Zaragoza, you have to drive through this huge electronic windmill farm and in the dark they all glow red. It was so cool and I´m sure they put it there for a reason because right after you pass the glowing red you go over a hill and see this field of white and yellow lights of the city of Zaragoza. We got to the apartment and I am living in the youngest sisters room. As well as Jonas brothers posters, a large Welcome sign decorates the walls of my new bedroom. For dinner we had Salad and Egg and potato tortilla. We watched the Simpsons during dinner... ¿typical? Later Claudia and I watched the third Pirates of the Carribean until one in the morning. We said goodnight and went to our rooms, I fell asleep reading one of my books from home. It was only one in morning, which was apparently early?
My day was very fun, and I will write again soon, so untill then... Ciao
