crazy art and more!

first of all, let me just say I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to write and update you on everything that's been going on. The course is winding down now and we're just a few days away from all going our own directions. This has definately been a whirlwind of an experience and I look back to the first day I got here. I have definately come a long way, and I can honestly say that I will be sad to leave. I know that another journey is right around the corner though, and this time I am armed with knowledge. I may pass on some of my new found knowledge but not til later. (so you have to keep reading the boring stuff to find out!!) HA! :P wait a sec...boring?! I'm never boring!! :P Anyway, let me fill you in on the latest. After feria it was back to the old wind and grind. Lessons to teach, things to learn, papers to write until 4:30 in the morning and coffee to buy at 9 in the morning. The usual. But this last weekend/week has been quite refreshing. Casto invited my roomies and i and another mate Hairy Josh from the course (he's brittish, hence "mate") to his house to cook with him (because I've been begging him to teach me how to make a Potato Omelette a.k.a. tortilla de patata) anyway, it was so much fun! We ended up being goofs and playing silly games and truth or dare half the night. Then the other day Hairy Josh and I went to check out this art museum in an old monestary and you will never guess what one of the exhibits was! Cadillac Ranch in Texas! It even features that foto in the brochure! Anyway that was pretty cool. Over-all the experience was a bit disturbing 'cuz when we first walked in the lady working there held up a piece of paper with writing in English and said "is okay"? the paper said basically that the exhibit had graphic content and to be aware before entering. I thought it was strange, and come on, we're in Spain.. nothing is too graphic in spain. Or so I thought when I figured the paintings must be sexually explicit. Nothing could have prepared us for what we saw....
