It's my last week in Cádiz! Kind of bitter sweet. I love it here, and would come back in a heart beat. However, I am at that point at which I miss a lot about home too-I have a jam-pack life there with people, activities, responsibilities, etc. that just won't go into my suitcase, and I am looking forward to coming back to them. Anyway...
This weekend has been pretty cool. We went to a Jazz/Bossa Nova concert on Thursday, which was pretty cool. Then on Friday we had a packed Flamenco night. FIrst we had flamenco dance lessons (the hardest dance I've ever attempted--including West Coast Swing). Afterwards we ate really quickly then went to a competition between Flamenco singers, which was very interesting. Also, this weekend the group that is studying in Valencia through UGA en España came down, so we hung out with them on the beach and took them to tapas and to show them the night life. It felt cool to be able to share what we've learned in the past few weeks this weekend. This morning, after finally getting up at 11 (such a hard life), we went to this local flea market that they have every Sunday near our school. Like any flea market, it was a lot of junk with some really cool stuff mixed in. However, there were a couple of differences. For one thing, technology there is still behind what I'm used to-people were buying VHS tapes and music tapes...? One guy tried to sell me Harry Potter on VHS, and I told him "I don't even have a way to play this." Another interesting thing about Spain is that Porn is not very taboo here. There were literally porn magazines sitting next to children's books right in the middle of the street. It's not like there were many people buying them or anything, but they were there and none of the locals even gave it a second's thought. Weird... Other than that I have just slept in quite a bit today in efforts to rest up from the weekend, and then took a walk with a couple of friends through the streets for nostalgic purposes. Now I am going to start on homework and studying for my finals later this week. Hasta Luego!
