Today we had another hard day of Spanish classes. I really hope I start to understand these tenses and stuff more that would be awesome ha. After class Taylor and I attempted to get our homework done but got distracted by the Spanish One Direction band called Auryn haha. Then we came back and I was able to FaceTime with Mom and Dad so that was fun! Melissa and Sarah’s host mom was nice enough to let me come in and use her Wifi because mine doesn’t work in my apartment with my computer or phone. So that’s kind of inconvenient but it’s ok:] Then I talked with Lousia, the host mom, she is so sweet I like her a lot. After that we had a big lunch and then met with some of the other students to go into Madrid. We had another walk that we started our walk and then came to the Hotel Victoria and saw all of these people outside of the hotel and we were talking to them and apparently Taylor Swift was inside! So we first of all freaked out because it was Taylor Swift! And we were talking to the girls there and they were all super nice. Then we started singing and going crazy and everyone was joining it and taking videos of us haha it was so fun. We definitely brought the American to the party. We helped keep up the obnoxious stereotype that goes along with Americans. At one point one of the manager people gave us all a Taylor Swift guitar pic so that was exciting! We ended up staying for like an hour and a half! Haha it was so fun though, it didn’t even matter we were freezing and it was raining. When we saw two heavily tinted vans leave the parking lot we decided she left and we should probably go because we had dinner soon too. So on the way back we stopped and got hot chocolate. Blanca made us pasta with tuna which was delicious, and had some fresh soft cheese to go with it to, I’m not sure what kind but it was way good! Taylor and I came to the conclusion that we are going to miss all of the olive oil and salt that Blanca uses in all of her cooking.
