So, previously we indicated that our plans for a vacation were a food journey to Bologna, Modena, and Parma. Well, we've changed our minds. We are still going to take that trip sometime in the near future, but our big vacation plan is now a 5 day trip to Spain. We decided we had to get there in time for La Tomatina (google it) which falls on the last Wednesday in August (sorry Diego, but it only comes once a year!). So, on August 27th we fly out of Rome and into Valencia. We founda pretty cheap hotel with a pool, so we're just gonna relax and enjoy the sun before getting drenched in squashed tomatoes! Hopefully we'll have lots of hilarious pictures to put on the website, but I don't want to ruin our camera, so we'll see.
Today we just had our teaching methodology test, so we are one down and only one looming grammar test to go. Lots of studying will be done tonight, and tomorrow we have a party with the school after the test is finished. Other than that we are still apartment searching (it's so difficult when you can't communicate, but one of the teachers here has offered to help us). Most of Rome is shut down at this point as everyone is headed off to the sea for their summer vacation. It's an unbelievable sight to literally see a block with no open restaurants or shops, but I guess when they say vacation they mean it.
