I finally got to sleep in! I got up at 11, and it felt so good to catch up on sleep! It was really nice out again, so we got to run! We finally have been having some consistent good weather! We got to have lunch a little earlier, and it was beef stew with carrots. Maria Luisa and Miguel were gone for the afternoon, so we ate quickly and got ready to enjoy our afternoon. We went to Parque de Maria Luisa, which is probably the most beautiful park I've ever been to! I loved it! They had little ice cream stands, and you could rent bikes, and there were people everywhere! We stayed there for a few hours doing homework outside. Later on we went to the mall that is very close by. We hadn't been there before, so we wanted to check it out. It was really small, and not really any good stores, but there is a really good supermarket with great prices, and a huge variety of food! We got some good stuff for really cheap! On our walk home there were parades going on through the streets, and they were practicing for semana santa. Outside the churches they had people carrying a replica of Jesus on the cross, and they were burning incense. There were people everywhere! We stood and watched it for a little while. Then we went home for dinner. We got chicken noodle soup, veggies, and then she made us an ice cream treat. After dinner Carrie and I watched some more episodes of "The Office" and ate our delicious chocolate croissants that we bought from the market. We made it until about 1:30 a.m. and then we were ready to crash!
