CACERES

Today we went to Caceres for the day to have lunch with Loli's sister and to look to the monuments.
Its Semana Santa here so there were alot of tourists...
We looked at the Plaza, the Cathedral and all around Caceres.
Caceres is the Province of Plasencia and is only about 40 minute drive from Plasencia.

Here are some photos of my day:
.....The Plaza.....


.....The (war) Cathedral.....



The Museum (For some reason I had to get a picture taken with this because it is important, im just not so sure why??) hehehe

Salamanca and Semana Santa

Today we went to Salamanca to look at all the monuments and of course we managed to fit in a little shopping:)

Salamanca is beautiful and has alot of tourists there, I was following a group of either canadians or americans they were speaking english anyway hahaha...

These are some pictures of the Plaza, Old University and Cathedral.



After we got home from Salamanca my friends and I went to the second night parade of Semana Santa(easter) which is highly celebrated in Spain. There is a different parade every night and tonight it was with horses. I was going to be in the one last night but it started to rain so we decided to flag it.

These are some pictures of the people dressed up and the different floats (also a picture of my photographic friends)

Last Week

This week i had 4 exams. Well i sat 2... History and English. I didn't sit Economics or Computers because the teachers said they dont think i will understand anything...

I got both my marks back and was so surprised... I scored a 7-10 in history and in english I scored an 8.5/10 I was so angry.... I lost 1.5 points because the last question wasn't long enough... Long story but in class the teacher told me to write a short story and I did and she said it was too long so in the exam I thought when it said a short story write it short so i made it 1 paragragh and she said not long enough... Grrrrrrrr!!!!!

Other than school I have just been sleeping and partying!

Went to Botellon last night and had a real great time... It was so fun!!! We all started singing all their easy english songs they learnt hahaha eg, head shoulders knees and toes haha and 10 green bottles!!!! After we went to the pubs but they had people checking ID at the door(first time ever).. They wouldn't let us in so my friend called her boyfriend who was inside and works at the pub and he got us in:)

Here are some pictures of my night....
