Almost Halfway...

Hey Guys,

Hard to believe I only have about three weeks left in my study abroad! It has gone really fast so far. Today we went to class, ate lunch, and then headed back to the beach. It was hotter today, but I slathered up with the sunscreen, and only got a little pink after two hours. Kelsey even burned a little, and she's naturally dark-skinned.

I bought a book in Spanish to read for fun. Antonio told us that is the most efficient way to achieve fluency, and I need something to read at the beach anyway. Something funny that happened today: we are riding the metro back when this guy and his son get on. The kid is wearing a Fighting Sioux hat! After about seven double-takes they could tell I was staring, so I struck up a conversation. It turns out that they are from Wisconsin, but the son went to hockey camp at UND a few weeks ago. They have relatives in North Dakota, and Lawrence too. I guess sometimes they even come down to Kansas for basketball games. It is such a small world.

Hasta luego,

Becca

P.S. I downloaded some pictures of La Sagrada Familia from our field trip on Monday.
