first post in spain

Hi!!!! so i'm in malaga, and i've been here for almost a week and i absolutley love it! my senora is so amazing and makes the best food ever (my mom's is better ;) ). my roommate is really cool and i'm so glad that they paired me with her. in the group that i came with, everyone is really outgoing and fun. the weather here in malaga is perfect, and i know sarah wishes she could be here. i've been to the beach almost every day and seriously it feels like it's still summer and it's already october! malaga is pretty big, but you can walk everywhere. i walk to school and it takes me about 15 mintues but there's this beautiful bridge with flowers growing on the side, it's nice to look at every morning. last friday we went to a discoteca, and it was an expirience. i loved it though. the class that i'm for the first two weeks of october is a spanish language class for 5 hours, and it goes by pretty slow. there are about 6 people in my class, and i think it's kind of hard. i seriously forgot that i had to go to class here. i'm not on vacation, but we all act like it. i'm going to back track a little...
on my first day in spain i was in madrid and it was so cool. we went out that first night to a bar and it was kind of fun. it was hard to figure out what to order and tapas kind of confused us but i think we have it figured out now. madrid is kind of like new york city, but so much better cause it's in spain. the people in spain are acutally nicer than i thought. in madrid we did a lot of tours and got to know some history and interesting facts. the other city we went to was Toldeo, and that place to my breath away. it was amazing! my favorite place so far (besides magala). toledo has a lot of arabic influences, so that just makes the city so different from anything i have ever seen. i will post pictures of all these places. the pictures of toledo will be amazing, but it's nothing compared to actually being there.
this was pretty long and probably boring, but i just thought i would write something so that everyone could see what i've been up to. i am having a blast and am so glad i am here.
