While you were sleeping, I went to school

Today was my first day of classes.  They way they have it set up at CEGRI is that we all had to come at 8:45am and find out when our classes were.  Some of us had class at 9am while others didn't start for a few more hours.  Each class is 1 hour and 40 minutes with a 30 minute break between each class.  I'm one of the lucky (or unlucky depending on how you look at it) that has class all morning.  I'm so crazy that I not only wanted to study in Spain, but I had to take the maximum hours (9, or three classes).  I have class from 9 to 3, like all the other school children.  Most other students have a class that starts at 4:30 or 6 something. 

On my walk in the afternoon, after my siesta (oh yes, I took a nice 2 hour nap today) I found some interesting things:


This was a statue that I found while waiting for a friend at the river that I have to cross to get to the heart of the city.  It kind of looks like a monkey. And if you didn't know already, I kind of love monkeys.



This is by far my most favorite thing that I have found so far.  Please note the GLASS.  These products are on a shelf in Wal-mart.  I asked the person behind the counter how much the Cetaphil cost.  It cost 15,66 Euro (the comma is like the period in America) that's around $23.49 in dollars.  I have that exact same Cetaphil lotion, and I believe it cost around $8 dollars.


Anybody know who Johny Deep is?  I also find it interesting that Penelope Cruz's name is spelled correctly.  She is the Española afterall.

  1. The statue is very cool. Aren't you glad you bought Cetaphil at home? It is amazing that it is protected behind glass. I wonder if Johnny Deep knows Johnny Depp -- maybe they are brothers! :)
