I woke up at 9:30 for church. It was about 60 degrees today, but once again it rained. The weather says rain for the next 10 days!!! I'm getting really sick of all this rain! But church was good. It is always packed, and I seriously mean "packed"! There are as many chairs in there as they can get, and there are even people that have to stand in the back door because there is no where else to go. It stinks for those that have to stand, but I think it's awesome that it is so full! After that we went home for lunch and their daughter and son-in-law came over for lunch again. I always get nervous when they come over because we normally end up eating some crazy fish type thing, but I like when they come because they are really nice, so I guess I can deal with the food! After dinner Carrie took a nap, and I decided to go for a run because it wasn't raining at the moment. It was actually pretty nice, though it did look like it was going to rain. I was able to run in shorts and a t-shirt for the first time, and it felt awesome! I decided to go for a longer run, so I went 5 miles. I'm hoping to increase a little each week in my training for the 10 mile this may. I felt like I could have gone longer if I wanted to, so maybe my next run will be longer. It's still winter here though, so even though it's 65 degrees and I'm in shorts, the Sevillan people are dressed for winter, and stare at me like I'm crazy! Besides getting stared at, I can say that we get hollered at/ called at/ whistled at/ or stared at at least 5-10 times per day. At first I thought it was funny, but now it's beginning to annoy me. The guys range anywhere from about 13-80ish that are doing it--gross! Anyways, all night I was very diligent, and got a lot of reading done for my classes. I also got to skype my family, and that's always good!
