el 11 de junio en Cadiz

This morning, I went to Diego & Sergio´s class for a bit. I got to go with them for their intercambio, during which they chatted with Spanish students (in Spanish) for an hour. We learned a lot about the Spanish school system, and wished them luck on the chemistry test they were about to take. It was cool (see the picture top left). This afternoon, we´re going to take it easy, have a siesta, go to the beach,etc. since we´ve been walking and exploring like crazy the past few days.

Yesterday was an awesome day. We enjoyed some Telepizza together, and then went wandering, hoping to find the castle for Benito. We stumbled upon an AWESOME park, Parque Genoves, and eventually made it to La Caleta. La Caleta is the only beach in the old part of Cadiz - really pretty, and apparently a scene from Die Another Day was filmed there. Then, we discovered that there are not one, but two castles (one wasn´t on our map). We walked down the long boardwalk-type-structure to the Castillo San Sebastian. For me, this was the best part of the trip so far. Beautiful views, great weather, it was cool. We spent some time sitting and relaxing before meeting up with Juan, who took us to the top of the Torre Tavira for some great views of the city.
