Out on the town

WONDERFUL DAY.  Walked around Oviedo with Landon (the guy who studied here 2 years ago) in the morning.  When I came home I finished packing (ha!) and had lunch with the family! My madre always makes fresh french fries and then puts a fried egg on top.  But today was extra special because she waited to call me to the kitchen until she was completely ready to serve everyone so that the french fries weren't scolding hot! AND we put tuna on top.  Delicious.  After lunch I said, "Vale, tengo que aprovechar el tiempo!" Ok, I have to take advantage of this weather!  And my madre agreed so I just went out.  I walked around for awhile- still seeing places I'd never seen before but WITHOUT getting lost.  I found out that there is an aqueduct in Oviedo?  Then I went to the park to read and saw a little boy chasing a peacock :)  I ended up falling asleep in the sun and was at the park for 2 hours.  Then on the way home I realized I have yet to see our museum of Bella Artes, so I just stopped in.  I don't ever need to see another portrait in my life, but I really enjoy the sculptures and art with a story behind it.  I saw a total of 3 weddings today and I just loved to look at the peoples' outfits- people go all out for weddings here! Guests had prom type dresses on and every man wore a tux.  I finally got some pictures I've been meaning to get (a meat vending machine, little old ladies walking hand in hand...) and tonight I'm going out with Landon and Erica again! Oh happy day!
