S0 this week is the last week of my intensive Spanish class. Yay! Next week we take the test for that class and a test for my culture class and then I am on break! Break starts next Thursday the 1st of October. I am going to Pais Vasco with some friends. I am pretty sure I already mentioned it but now it's right around the corner. This week will consist of studying for my tests, recovering from my cold and going to a bull fight on Sunday. Yes, on Sunday I am going to a bull fight at La Plaza de Toros in Granada. I am not super excited for the blood and cruelty of it, but I am excited to go for the experience. I will tell you all about it in my next post!
On Sunday I went to Cordoba with my group. It was really neat. We started the day with some free time so I went to La Alcazar de los Reyes Cristianos, which is basically a fancy house with lots of beautiful gardens. Later we went to La Mezquita/Catedral. It is a beautiful amazing cathedral/mosque that was built a long time ago! Then we got to experience what it would be like to hang out in an ancient arab bathroom. It was super cool. There were three rooms: one with a cold pool, one with a temperate pool and the other with a hot tub! And we got a massage!! It was super relaxing and lots of fun and the massage was super!
Yesterday (Monday), I went with my group to La Alhambra. If you don't remember La Alhambra is the ancient arab castle in Granada. Since it has been restored and such. We were given a tour of it by Alfonso, one of our professors. It was really beautiful.
Well, I am off to study for my two tests! I will keep you updated about all the exciting events to come!

Good luck with your test! I'm sure you'll do great. I can't believe you have a break coming up so soon--I haven't even started classes yet!

Echoing Bryony's message - good luck with your tests! and have so much fun on your break! This bull fight sounds pretty exciting - can't wait to hear about that too!
