finally a clear sky

the rain has finally stopped and valencia is gorgeous. the warmer weather has arrived and we put down the jackets and replaced them with shorts and t-shirts. we´ve done some great sight seeing, and being in Spain is getting so much better every single day. We are all becoming accustomed to staying here, the families are great, and everything is going well. We are going to the beach later this week, and everyone is really pumped about that. Don´t worry parents, we are taking a lot of pictures while we are here. It is kind of hard to write on the blog because there are 14 of us using 3 computers for 30 minutes, but we will all write more often when we can. I think they are bringing some other computers later in the week. We walk as many places as possible, but we ride the bus a lot too. Claire and I live too far away to walk to school in the mornings, so we walk part of the way and then catch the bus for the rest, as do many of the girls on the trip. Our family makes us more `Americanized´ foods in our house, but everything we have had here has been great, except I wasn´t a huge fan of the paella. More to come later!
