We were up bright and early at 7am for our trip to the capital of Extremadura! We left the correos at 9am and took the hour and a half bus ride to Mérida. Upon arriving, we went straight to the Roman ruins and our tour guide told us the ins and outs of the histroy of Mérida. Although it was very interesting to see the ruins, the city wasn't what I was expecting it to be. It was much smaller than what our professors had talked it up to be and besides the ruins, ...

I really don't mind Thursdays, although I get slightly confused now that I don't have classes on Fridays. Again, nothing too exciting happened during the day. Alice and I attended class, I came home and cleaned the room, and we hung out around our piso for the rest of the day. We are heading to Mérida tomorrow, so we decided not to go out tonight, knowing that we have to get up early tomorrow. At dinner, our host mom and cousin were trying to explain what "baska...

After walking all the way to the post office, I forgot the number for my professor, so I had t...

Alice and I couldn't decide if it would be worth it to sleep or not, since we would be getting about an hour, by the time we got home. After sitting in our beds for a few minutes, we decided to crash for a bit. Unfortunately, we missed our alarm and woke up frantic at 8 am, and we need to le...
