Last night Jesus took us to the movies. We saw a comedy called Bienvenidos al Norte. This was a French movie, but everyone spoke in Spanish, how strange. The movies are pretty much the same as the States. There was popcorn and snacks at the entrance, and of course there was loud noisy people that sit in the back row of the theater. Only in Spain nobody really says anything if you are being rude during the movie. It was so frustrating because these teenage kids were taking pictures (with a flash), laughing and giggling all throughout the movie. I was hopping the old people sitting in front of them would say something, but they just sat there and pretended like they could not here it.
The movie was pretty funny and very easy to follow. The main character kind of reminded me of Bean. He was a tall lanky man that was very good at making a situation comically awkward.
The weather has been warming up in Salamanca. Thank goodness, I though we would never get past that gloomy, misty crap the first two weeks. All with warm weather, come street musicians. On my walk back from class I usually see a violinist and his dog, a group of drummers and an accordion or two. The music really brightens my day and reminds me what a great adventure I am having. This weekend is a big weekend for carnivals in Salamanca and the neighboring cities. I am headed to Ciudad Rodrigo on Saturday, which is about an hour away, to watch the running of the bulls and any other carnival festivities. Apparently you have to dress up for these carnivals, so some how need to through together a costume.
