Salamanca

April 10th, 2008 · No Comments · Learning Spanish, Sabbatical trip, Uncategorized

Here it is Thursday, and I haven’t managed to put up pictures of Salamanca as yet! Unfortunately, hubby and I have been recovering from really bad colds and it has been pouring cats and dogs all week. I thought I was getting better but Tuesday night laid me low again. So we have gone to school until 1, come back to our homestay for lunch, and slept for 2 – 3 hours before going out for tapas (since the Spaniards have a huge lunch, tapas are small plates of various foods that are just right for 9/10 at night).

The school has evening lectures and programs. Last night we went to a lecture about Dali (actually understood very little of it!), but it’s good practice in listening to the language. This evening we went to see a very interesting movie: Mal Educacion. It was subtitled in Spanish, so we could actually follow it quite well. It’s an independent film that is famous here in Spain (although we’re not sure if it’s liked or not.)

Last night and tonight we have enjoyed the company of several “older” students such as ourselves and gone out for tapas and beer:)

Here’s a few pictures from school:

This is the front door of our apartment. Very nice place only 3 blocks to the school and 3 blocks to the Plaza Mayor.

This is the first block we walk. It’s been a very rainy week so far.

This is the next block we walk.

This is the last block we walk to the school. Old Salamanca is really lovely. I’ll post more pictures over the next few days of the town.

And then we arrive. Here is the front door. It’s not easy to see from the photo; but there’s about 3 small buildings with a courtyard. This school is larger than the one in Granada.
