Rain, rain, go away!!

I didn't sign up for this. When I decided to study abroad in southern Spain, I thought, "Wow, this is going to be great! It's going to be warm and sunny all the time and I'll be wearing such cute spring/summery clothes because it's just going to be so nice out all the time." Well I thought wrong. It hasn't stopped raining here. I can't even remember the last time I saw the sun. Not only that, it's cold. Very cold. And I know all you New Englanders are shaking your heads and saying that at least it's not below zero here. But the thing is, yes it doesn't get any colder than 40 degrees, but it's not meant to be 40 degrees here. The houses aren't made for 40 degree weather. So even though you guys are dealing with temps much colder than here, at least you get to go home to a heated house or dorm. I go home and it's still 40 degrees inside the house. I didn't pack enough warm clothing and I really wish I had my rain boots now. I guess it could be worse. It could be snowing. But I just want to see some of the sun I was promised would be here. Another thing about this weather, is that the people here are so depressed and grumpy. They thrive in the sun and warmth. Also, it's never supposed to rain here so seeing as all we've had is rain for like a week straight, people aren't in the best of moods.

Well, with all of the complaining out of the way, I am still having a blast here! :) On Saturday I went on a trip to Aracena which is a town north of Sevilla (so yes it was even colder there!) The town wasn't one of my favorites but we got to go into these caves and they were AMAZING. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. And the caves were so huge!! I'm so sad I couldn't take any pictures :( But take my word for it, they were spectacular.

Yesterday I went for a 3 kilometer walk with my senora in the morning through the park that's right near our apartment building. It was nice to get some exercise even though I walk about 6-12 miles every day anyway. But then we had churros for breakfast. They were so delicious. We dipped them in hot chocolate and sugar. Seeing as it's usually just toast and coffee for breakfast, the churros were such a treat!

Liz comes the day after tomorrow. I can't even explain how excited I am. There are no words. I have some fun things planned and it will just be so great to have her here. I have a feeling these next two days are going to go by sooooo slowly because I'm just so excited. I just can't wait. :) :) :)

I have to go now. I have class in an hour :( But after class Lindsay and I are going shopping and booking our trip to Morocco. Should be fun. I just hope it stops raining!!

Besos!!
