Hola todas! Here are some pictures from this past weekend. I went to Mercado Medival in a city about an hour away from Alicante. It was quite interesting, and a lot bigger than I thought it would be! We walked around, ate crepes, sampled warm wine, and watched reinactments of medival times. The reinactments were a little off the wall, yet really interesting.
Also last weeked, I went to a futbol (soccer) game! I can honestly say I enjoyed watching it (you would be proud Kristin). The two Alicante teams were playing.. Alicant vs. Hercules. Alicant is the big underdog, and has not won in twenty-some years, but it´s always a close game between the two rivals. Hercules won 4-2.
.....
This weekend is quite a big weekend! It´s carnaval (festival) here, and Alicante is hoppin´! All the bars and cafes are packed, and the streets are filled with people. This festival is supposed to be like the week where all the Catholics go crazy before they have to behave during lent. People here are crazy! Everyone dresses up in costumes and walks in the streets. My friends and I watched a parade with all the kids from the city who were dressed up... some of them were dressed like cleaning supplies, some like flower pots, the costumes were so creative! Tonight, 3 friends and I are dressing up like the teenage mutant ninja turtles!
Oh and tomorrow is my half marathon!!! So while you are all sleeping from 4-6 a.m., I will be running 13.1 miles. I am running this half marathon entirely for my Grandma. She just had a stroke
, and I would love to be able to see her in the hospital right now. Since I can´t be in the states with my family (although talking on skype with a web cam has been fun!), I am going to devote all 2 hours of my run to my Grandma! I´ll use the time to pray for her and my family, and really focus on how thankful I am to have her in my life! So everyone keep her in your prayers please!
I miss everyone, and my recipe is coming soon; I have to wait to get it back from my teacher who is grading it.
I miss everyone! Hope everyone is doing well!
