La gente está loca!

Toledo view at night. 

Hola! After enjoying a little bit of Toledo's nightlife yesterday, I headed back to my host family's house to get some sleep before today's class. Overall I think my literature class sounds great! My professor seems very organized and helpful. We will be reading a play called La Casa de Bernarda Alba, which I fortunately already have read and really enjoyed! I'm looking forward to reading more texts and learning more!

All the decorations are ready for Corpus Christi!

Spain unfortunately lost a game in the World Cup today, but so many people were out in the streets at bars and restaurants. There were more people than ever! People of all ages! Babies, children, teens, the elderly! I'm beginning to see just how important fútbol truly is! Tomorrow is also a huge religious festival known as Corpus Christi. Corpus Christi is so important that we don't have school and nobody has work. Because of the game and the festival tomorrow, everyone is partying here! 

Crazy concert!

Hailey, the girl from Tennessee who lives in my host family, went with me to the concert just down the road. The performers/bands were great, and they supposedly are always on the radio! It was so much fun! There was also a DJ and more than half of the music is in English, which was very surprising to me. I've heard from multiple natives that they prefer American music more than Spanish music. Perhaps that's really the case as I've heard songs such as "We Will Rock You," "I Like to Move It, Move It," "Talk Dirty To Me," and some of Rihanna's and Miley's "greatest hits!" We stayed at the concert for a little more than an hour, but left because I have to wake up at 7:30am tomorrow to go to the Corpus Christi procession. Now it's 3am here and the concert is still going strong! I can hear every song as I'm laying here in bed...I don't think I'm ever going to sleep!!!

La gente está loca! (The people are crazy!) Maybe I'll have to take a long siesta tomorrow! Adiós for now!
