Well, it is day 3 in Valdelavilla and everything is going great! The first day here I felt pretty sick. I think it was from all the traveling, lack of sleep, and food combination. Luckily the sick feeling only lasted a day and by our second day here I was back to my normal self! I have already met some amazing people! Yesterday was our first full day with lots of talking, one-on-one sessions, and ice breakers. I also presented fold and cut stories yesterday evening before dinner! They were a HUGE hit!
Today I had a few more one-on-one sessions where I sit and just chat with a different Spaniard. We talk about everything and nothing at all! If we are ambitious, we walk and talk. I have walked up the mountain twice now. It is a hard hike when you are talking and not used to the altitude! However, the walk is very beautiful. If only it was a bit cooler. Yesterday was very hot even for the Spaniards. We were all melting! Last night there was some rain so that helped to cool things off today.
Valdelavilla is located in a valley. It has been a village since the 16th Century. It is old, but charming! The only thing that is kind of inconvienent is my height. I have hit my head to the point of seeing stars at least three times... you think I would have learned by now! The living quarters are very nice and I am in a top floor flat. The stairs are very dangerous, but the rooms are very quaint. I am a little concerned about the screaming animal that lives on a roof nearby as well as the cucko bird that likes to make noise. It makes me a little nervous to open my window which is the only source of air.
The Spanish lifestyle is a little different than I am used to, but tonight I may be feeling rested enough to stay up until 1:30ish...which is early before heading to bed. Well, the internet is slow and there is only one computer so I will post more as I can! As for me, I am off for a two-on-two chat with some new friends! Have a great day!
