February 18-20 I went to Paris to meet up with my dad who was there on a business trip. We saw all the normal touristy things like the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame. It was really nice to see and spend time with him. He also spent a lot of time teaching me photography techniques and how to use my new camera. The highlight of the trip was definitely the 9 chocolate croissants and 3 nutella crepes that I ate in 3 days...yummy! The weekend after that we had a four day weekend but since I was running low on money I decided to go hang out with my family friends in Madrid for some peace and quiet. I didn't do much except for eat and relax but it was nice to be able to get a good night sleep for once without any kids screaming and crying in the background.
The next weekend I went to London to see my friend Alix Kraft who is studying there for a semester. I couldn't stop grinning when I first heard every one speaking with their British accents. Finally a language I could understand!! The London nightlife is also very different from Spain. The night starts around 8 or 9 p.m and ends around 1 or 2 a.m. In Spain the night doesn't start until 11 or 12 and people don't come home until 5 a.m! My 33 year old host uncle usually stays out until 7:30 a.m on the weekends. Next weekend my program is taking us to Morocco! This is going to be an exhausting next couple of months!
