Day Seventeen

Wow,  halfway done already?!
Today, I went through the same morning routine as usual. At El Sol, we changed professors so now I have JuanCarlos for grammar and Diana for conversation. They are both amazing and hilarious, and surprisingly enough, make learning the subjunctive tolerable.
After school, we had a glorious gift: a free afternoon. To celebrate, a group of us went to Enano, which is a sandwich shop about a half hour walk away, but well worth it. If you ever get the chance to go, be sure to try the orange and strawberry juice.
In attempt to explore the city, a smaller group of us headed to Barranco. It was very artsy and provided the opportunity for a lot of pictures. Also, we made friends with a band that was playing on the lookout who helped us practice our Spanish. They even sang "La Bamba" for us.
When it was time to go back, we took the ambitious route and walked home along the beach. Although it turned out to be a lot longer than we anticipated, it was a beautiful journey with the waves crashing next to us. Ultimately, once we reached Parque Kennedy it was a unanimous decision that we all earned Pinkberry (banana froyo with brownies and chocolate sauce for me). Then, we shopped a bit, and even found Rubix cubes. As I was trying to teach Cati how to solve one, a woman asked to take our picture, and apparently her 15 year old son can solve one in 10 seconds. So not only is that interesting, but it provided us with another opportunity to practice Spanish.
To end our day, we headed home to eat and do homework, but returned to Barranco to celebrate the several birthdays within our group. All in all, it was quite an eventful, yet relaxing day.
Hasta la próxima vez!
