Well, the weekend came and went in a flash. Of course, that always happens when you are enjoying yourself. On Saturday, I took the train to Retiro and met up with Mary, the teacher I have been working with. It has been really nice spending time with her because she is my age and we are able to take our minds off of school and focus our attention toward fun things such as SHOPPING!

I moved all of my luggage over there on Wednesday night and had the chance to unpack, so goodbye to wrinkled clothes piled at the bottom of my suitcase!
