Chris and Me
The "Lodge"
Well, I'm hestitant to say it, but...I think Spring in Spain may be on it's way. I really lucked out and happened to come to Spain on the coldest, wettest, and rainiest year they've had in a long time. The Madrid-Barajas international airport had to be shut down for the first time ever and a while back I saw on TV that a major highway closed and people had to find a place to stay for the night, I think they were delayed 40 hours.
For a while this is what I would wear to school:
- Running tights or long johns under my jeans
- A t-shirt under a fleece jacket under a sweatshirt under a coat
Sometimes I wouldn't take my coat off all day because my classroom is always cold. I think it's the coldest one in the school (it also didn't help that someone left a window partway open over a weekend a while back).
The cold hasn't been all bad...with cold there's snow (well most years theres just cold)! This past Saturday a friend from Texas, Chris, and I went up to the snow to get out of the big city atmosphere for a while. We went into an abondoned "lodge" and looked around. (I use quotation marks because it's a lodge made out of stone and cement). After that we rolled down a hill and then climbed up a mountain, the snow up to our waists in some places. Things were actually a little scary because tree limbs were falling. We saw a fairly big limb fall and there were some massive ones that had fallen recently, if you look at the picture of the lodge you can see one of the branches that fell just in front of it.
But, even with all the fun of snow, sniffly noses, and wearing four layers of clothes to school I'm glad the sun is finally here. We'll see if it stays this way, the last time I thought Spring was on its way...well...it wasn't.
