No hay pies de nieve en Espana..

Day 10 - 1/11

We started school yesterday. I have grammar everyday otherwise it rotates between history, geography, lit, and expresion oral (a small group class where we work on our speaking a lot). I really like my teachers they are super nice and talk a little slower than everyone else, at least for now.

After school today we had lunch with our host mom. Everyday we start talking and understanding her a little bit more. We ate lunch and then watched Spongebob, Bob Esponja, and George of the Jungle. 

Our mom asked us if it is much colder where we live than here, (it is in the 30s-40s everyday and this morning we got our first dusting of snow) and we tried to explain to her how much colder it is in Wisconsin, but the difference between Celsius and Fahrenheit  got a little lost in translation, pero si hace mucho mas frio en Wisconsin. I also tried to explain to her that we usually have a couple feet of snow by now, although this year has been a little warmer. After not realizing why she wasn't understanding me I had an Ah Ha moment..there are no "feet" in Spain or anywhere else in the world soo that's probably not the best way to describe anything haha. 

Still working on getting the discounted bus pass, apparently they try and make it as difficult as possible :/ But Erin and I are going to start walking to school tomorrow, 35-40 minutes=buen ejercicio.
