URSULINE SALAMANCA 2016 : July 3rd: First Sights of Spain in Salamanca

Today was the first day we ventured out into the city and explored multiple sights since on the first day, we were exhausted. We woke up and met at 10:30 under the clock in Plaza Mayor. It was a beautiful morning because it was sunny, but there was not too much heat and the sky was clear of clouds. After everyone arrived, we embarked for the chocolatería Valor. It was an emerald green shop with a round sign that said "Valor. Desde 1881" in lettering the color of red licorice. We were soon seared outside and ordered chocolate fría with churros.
After breakfast, we walked to a church and celebrated mass. We met the priest soon after. He was very kind and blessed us all before we left. At 2:00 it was time for lunch with our families. I had a soup with lentils and some fried calamari rings for lunch. Then it was time for our siestas and we took a long break. Later we met Sra. Escamilla, Casco, and Lavault in the plaza and visited the API office. We learned useful information, like the importance of using a cross-body bag and how when women offer rosemary at night for free, they will make you pay anyway. After learning tips for life in Spain, we went to an ice cream store and Monica took all seventeen of our orders. We got our ice cream quickly because she was organized and as soon as I knew it, we had bid everyone goodbye and were walking home. It was a wonderful third day and we learned many new things. I hope tomorrow is just as good!
