Alicante es la ciudad mejor del mundo.
Ok so that may not be ENTIRELY true but it IS awesome.
Last, despues de un almuerza de paella and a major walking tour of the city, we had dinner at another traditional Spanish restaurant con muucchhhos tapas. And then, after that, we went to el barrio, which is on the east-ish side of town a cerca de la playa. El barrio is Alicante's equivalent to Beaver Ave, the Southside, Second Street, whatever. Except it's hardly equivalent. There are bars for DAYYYSSS and the Spaniards literally stayed out raging until 6 or 7am. I didn't, but it was still a great time. Waking up at 8:00, however, not so much.
We had a few more orientation seminar things today, a brief walking tour of the Universidad, and another huge lunch. After lunch, we talked a little bit about our classes, and then we met our familias. We all sat in an auditorium-like room with our luggage around the perimeter, and Paco, the director, would call our names one by one when our familias arrived. When he announced the student's name, everyone clapped, and then he/she would go greet their familia. Mi "senora" se llama Ileana and her daughter is Elena. They live in an adorable apartment (casa) in a very convenient, central location. I'm close to buses, trains, el Tram, la playa, el barrio, todos. Fantastico.
Pero estoy muuuuy cansada y necesito descansar.
Also, pardon my Spanglish.
Goodnight Mom and Dad :)...and Jill and Jeff and Dan
