Ola

Well as some of you may have noticed I was not in class. This is because as I type this I am sitting in Madrid, Spain. I went to my friends wedding which was lovely and we are having a little break before going to celebrate some more this evening.

MadrileƱos (people from Madrid) are often called "Gatos" (cats) not because of their late sleeping habits similar to cats, but because of the historical legend where during the Arabic invasion, an adept soldier climbed the outer walls with the agility of a cat; after which, his family assumed the name of Gato.


Remember we have Monday off too, so have a great long weekend.

See you in Class!
