Look at all the things I've learned to do in just one week. I even set up a blog. It'll be a lot easier to just write a post instead of emailing everyone. And for anyone who really knows me, that is a technological miracle that I did it all by myself. The next hurdle will be to add pictures. Wow! I also learned how to navigate through the city to get to the church. Luckily there is a river here to follow. I even took Weston on a 2 hour bike ride and made it back home. I learned how to use the washing machine and the dishwasher here in the apartment. Yet somehow after just 2 loads, the belt broke on the washer (really, not my fault) and we will just hand wash the dishes because we basically eat one meal. I can go on runs by myself and make it back as well. Directions aren't my forte either and so this always a triumph.
Our Spanish is rough (just above non-existent) to say the least. It's a miracle when we can carry on a conversation with someone and understand anything. But we are studying. Pachi, Madi's host dad, is the best teacher because he speaks so slow. He knows zero English and so we have great times with him.
Burgos is a very beautiful city and bikes are the way to get around. It has been a blast so far. The food is amazing. So far we love it all. Who knew I'd like blood sausage?
