Today we went to the school and took our placement tests. We were both scheduled for classes in the mornings. Camille’s class was too basic, and Libby’s was with much more advanced speakers, so we asked to switch and the only choice was an afternoon class. So, after grabbing a quick lunch, we went back for afternoon classes, which we both liked better. However, afternoon classes make it much harder to sightsee because we aren’t out of class until 6:30. We have a culture class from 1:30-2:30 and then regular class from 2:30-6:30. The culture class discussed Spanish geography, names, artists, authors, songs, magazines, and other topics of interest.
We did manage to go out after dinner and walk down to the Plaza España just to see the shops and nightlife. The daylight goes until 10pm or so and the number of people out and about late is amazing. Many of the little snack shops stay open until the wee hours of the morning to accommodate the late crowd.
