Deseo que mis pies estaban limpias :(

Or for those of you who speak English, I wish my feet were clean. That's one of the down sides to being here...my feet are always dirty!!! Mommy forgot to pack me wipies for mis pies so I bought my own. Well, today was interesting...we got lost! I actually enjoyed it. We are trying to learn the bus routes because we understand the metro now, so we asked the fam which route to take to school. The stop is only 1 block away and it's nice to look out the window instead of being underground. So we took route 56 to school and everything was fine. On the way home, we decided to hop back on the same bus instead of taking the metro home. We assumed (You should never assume. You know why.) that it went in a circle and would bring us around back to our apartment. Wrong. We were going...and going....and stopped seeing anything familiar...and then the bus stopped and everyone got off...including the driver. Meaning the bus route just ended and we had no idea what part of the city we were in, or even if we were near a metro. We just got off and started walking, and luckily saw a metro stop. We were about 8 or 9 stops away from our place. Oops. We usually make it home by 2:30 but it was almost 3:30 when we finally got back, and there was no lunch for us because they thought we weren't coming home. Becca had tried this Chinese place by our metro stop one day on a rare occasion when we weren't together and said it was really good and a lot of food for cheap, so we went there. We split a plate of rice and chicken with mixed vegetables and surprisingly it tasted really good. I thought the meat would be questionable, but I was impressed, and I have had some seriously delicious Chinese food in my almost 22 years. After lunch we headed over to the ISA office to print off our boarding passes for Paris. The office is pretty cool, there is a department called "Actividades Culturales" which can help you find good local places to go instead of the touristy areas. We will have to use that resource for sure. There's also a "chill out room" with books and movies and couches. Boarding passes were successfully printed and we are officially checked in and ready to go...now the only problem is packing under 22 pounds worth of stuff for the weekend, as that is RyanAir's weight limit. If you check a bag or go over the limit, it's 40 euros.
In other news, I just signed up for the ISA excursion to Girona and Costa Brava next weekend the 17-19. I'm so excited about this. Girona has the Salvador Dali museum and he is my absolute favorite artist. And Costa Brava is...well, probably the nicest beach I'll ever go to. Not to mention we get to stay in a nice hotel, too.

Well, that's all I've got for now. My mom said she has been reading these out loud to people at work. I hope you guys are enjoying hearing about my experience as much as I am living it! More later.
