But let's not talk about that now! Let's talk about this week...This week was quite eventful. To kick it off, Sunday was a holiday--Valentine's Day. Different people did various things, but the majority of the group stayed after church (the Baptist church) for a Valentine's Day potluck. It was also supposed to go along with the sermon series on love that they have been doing since we've arrived. There was lots of good food, including food made by our very own, and lots of good friends. We are truly blessed to have found such caring people and such a wonderful place to receive spiritual support.
A lot of us had yet another test, this time in history. I think after two tests, we might finally know what to expect from the Spanish professors. We're still adjusting to the difference in education styles here in Spain (well Europe in general)...
On a more fun note, this weekend was our second long weekend. Some ventured to Marruecos, Africa and others to Sevilla. A lot of us just chose to stay in Denia however, and have a relaxing weekend. For those who stayed in Denia, Friday night consisted of the usual--going to cafes or restaurants in Denia. On Saturday, a group of us went to Calpe, a town about 40 minutes south of Denia, for the day to climb the mountain (rock) there, enjoy the beach, and walk around the old town. I'm pretty sure everyone who went said they would love to return, especially when the weather is warm enough to lay out on the beach. However, even though it is February, most of the group has sunburned faces, thanks to the strong Mediterranean sun! Saturday evening was capped off by watching the movie 17 Again at our professor (Maria Elena)'s house, while eating some homemade salsa (with chips of course) and brownies.
Week 7? CHECK. Week 8 here we come!
