Day 42-OYE

 We had an excursion today, so our class went to a Castle that was used during the Inquisition.  We got little devices that gave us a tour in Spanish, so the whole thing was a little confusing but interesting.  It's kind of sad though to see that the people just killed and tortured others if they did not have the same catholic beliefs--it just doesn't seem right.  We got to see a little movie about how people just claimed some lady was a witch and she was killed!  We also saw some remains, which were cool.  Then our class sat outside for a little to recap.  Since we were so far from my house and my señora had given me a bocadillo because she's visiting her daughter who had surgery, I decided to go to Plaza de España to read.  On my way, I passed some tents, a bunch

of men with the same t-shirts and police cars and saw later on the news that it was a protest of ex-workers!  Then I got to the park and found a little bench by the water, ate and then I started to read Mockingjay for the next couple hours.  My friend lent it to me and she's leaving Saturday, so I need to finish soon!  Then after a crazy incident I headed home to read a little more.  Then we had a cultural activity, which was to Palacio Lebrija.  It

was neat to see because once again, the mosaics and details and everything were gorgeous--I was just so tired!  Then I went home and finally got to skype with Sonja!  It was wonderful to catch up with her!  Then I had dinner with my señora and then read for a couple more hours until I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer.  Once again, I am so into this book!
