My prison-looking school covered in snow
Some things I noted about snow in Spain: It makes the tile sidewalks super slippery. Spaniards use umbrellas so the snow won’t fall on them. I saw a man raking the grass to get the snow away. I saw another using a broom to brush it off a sidewalk. Finally, I saw a third (woman, mind you, that’s where the smarts are at) using a shovel to clear the sidewalk. Well done, Spain.
Anyways, it made for a beautiful walk to school and the kids went out for recess and played with snowballs so it was good entertainment. I got the question from my 3rd years “have you ever seen snow?” Have I ever. Buffalo October storm anyone? These poor chaps have no idea…
I got invited by a student to go to the mall with her sometime. She wants me to help her pick out clothes. I would say I think that’s totally legal…I can teach her English and fashion. My two best talents. Besides she’s always wearing this brown nail polish that I’m dying to have…
Anyways, Friday I’m off with Kate and Sarah to Valencia, to try and escape some of the cold weather and see the Mediterranean in all its glory. We’ll see if it looks different in Valencia than it did in Barcelona. Should be a good start to my non-stop next month and a half. Nate, Megan, Jaime, Amy, Mike! Come play, Spain is ready for you. And we have cookies.
