We went down to the Center to see the Ferrari show. None of us are really into cars but it was cool to see the fancy cars. While we were there we thought we would get Teresa a new car!

Friday night we were invited to another Intercambio participant’s house to have a bonfire. We made s’mores and talked around the campfire with Sophia and Jessie, two of my friends from Intercambio, and their Spaniards, Pili and Milagros. We were having a fantastic time until a police officer showed up. He was very friendly and told us that they had had 10 calls from a cranky neighbor saying the smoke from the fire was going into their house. He told us that we weren’t doing anything wrong but that he had to tell us to put out the fire. Too bad for the neighbors, though, because pouring water on a fire only creates more smoke! Now we all laugh about it, saying that it was only the first night with Teresa and we already had an encounter with the police!

The first thing we decided to do with Teresa was bake some chocolate chip cookies. With a little help from Lindsey, we were able to make some delicious cookies!
After arriving at the parking lot of Conard High School at 11;15 we were told that the Spaniards were stuck in traffic and would not be arriving for another hour. We went back home, put Dad to bed (he was really tired), and waited excitedly for their arrival. When we went back to Conard the bus pulled up a few minutes later and everyone rushed to greet their Spanish friends. Here we are in the parking lot, exhausted but super happy to be back together. I know this summer will be really fun and exciting for both of us!
Teresa and I went out to lunch with one of my mom’s friends from college, Monica, who lives in Madrid. We ate at restaurant Botín, the world’s oldest restaurant according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
For the last day in Spain we went out to eat churros for breakfast with some friends! Fun and delicious!
We went bowling with Jessie, her Spaniard, and two other Spanish friends. I came in fourth place (out of six) but for a short time I was winning!
For dessert we had churros with chocolate. This is a typical Spanish food. They were really delicious, especially when dipped in the hot melted chocolate.
On our way home from the pool we saw a bunch of these wild pig-like javelinas! A bunch of people were stopped to feed them so I took some pictures and videos. Here is a link to the video: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7NjmL-2taS8
We went to see Despicable Me 2. In Spain it’s called Gru 2. The movie was really funny and I loved it!
