Happy Valentine's Day! This holiday is not celebrated very much in Spain. I think only couples celebrate it. I saw lots of people carrying around roses this afternoon so they must give flowers as a gift. I saw this cute little old man walking with a cane in his right hand and a single red rose wrapped in plastic in his left. He was so cute I wish I had taken a picture! At school, we learned about the legend of San Valentin and how he married people in secret until he was arrested and killled.
It rained and was overcast most of today. It was pretty cold and windy too which is a big change from our weather last week. This afternoon, Bev, Casey, Cory and I went to get frozen yogurt from a frozen yogurt store near the Plaza Mayor. It was pretty good and I tried nutella for the first time. It was so good!!! Tonight, Mariah, Alex, Lizzy, Courtney, and I started our Bible Study. It was a very good session! Tomorrow I have to give a speech on my major and what I want to do when I graduate from college. There is no translation for physician's assistant in Spanish, and I don't think such a career exists outside the US.
