día de la cruz

It was so sweet I had to take a picture

Storefronts closed for siesta

Part of my walk to school... note the Sierra Nevada mountains

Shawarma

The rest of this weekend has been great. Yesterday we did our shawarma lunch (and I finally learned out to spell shawarma), then walked around the city all afternoon. We were so stuffed from our shawarma that we decided to push BADos back to tomorrow, so I'll make sure to blog about our goodbye to our favorite place tomorrow.

Today, we went to mass at the cathedral and then checked out a few of the plazas decorated for el día de la cruz, or the day of the cross. There are huge crosses made out of flowers in a ton of plazas and everyone is dressed in traditional Spanish clothes. Flamenco dresses are everywhere--- so, so cool!

The rest of today is just going to be a day of studying... two finals, one interview, three actual classes, and three class fiestas left!
