Every week I've been going to a convent that is like a nursing home. It's for a class and I've been serving food at their dinners. I can't remember if I've mentioned that or not, but last night was precious.
I ended up getting there early and had extra time. There were a ton of people in their entrance park area. I recognized a few of them so went to sit down. We had a crazy conversation lol. I was proposed to numerous times, asked to take them to the US with me, and more. After I serve the dinner, some of them stay to help us get everything set up. They are slowly teaching me school songs and how to dance the Sevillana. They are much more patient then everyone else! I was talking to one lady and she said she had taken a ship from Barcelona to Puerto Rico to Miami to New York and back. That's over a month on a boat. But she was precious explaining everything to me. She studied in Italy when she was my age and is so glad that I can be here. Everyone is always asking me which I like better, Spain or the US. I never know what to say haha. So I guess my answer to how to find people to talk to is go to the nursing homes lol. It's not as weird there to walk up to random people and start talking to them. I'm going to have all kinds of friends over the age of 80 but that's just fine. (And just like in the US, their pockets are always full of candy lol)
Tomorrow I'm going to Gibraltar (the straight of Gibraltar is a colony of England). So that should be fun. Praise the Lord that exams are done! Time to relax a bit. I have friends from Asbury that are coming with a class for Spring Break and they will be here from Monday to Wednesday so I'm super excited to see them!
I'm off to spend some time in the sun :D. Sorry to rub that in, but it's been gorgeous and we have a river!
