This weekend has been great! I decided not to travel anywhere because it will be my last full weekend in Santander for a while. Today was the perfect weather- sunny, no rain, and a little breeze. So needless to say I spent most of my day outside. This morning I attended my first Spanish-catholic mass. I really enjoyed it, but mainly for the scenery. It was the most beautiful church I've ever been in- and I think it's a pretty typical church for here- nothing fancy to people who actually live here. But to me, everything was so gorgeous- the art and sculptures that were all over the church were so beautiful. I was pretty proud of myself because I was able to understand a lot of what was going on during the service. After church, Carly, Megan, Maggie and myself got some ice cream and snacks and sat along the edge of the sidewalk that runs parallel to the bay, and just enjoyed the beautiful day.
Later on this afternoon we all went to la playa de la Magdalena, which is also where the palace and penguins are. It's a really small beach, but it's our favorite because it has the best view. You can sit on the beach, and look across the bay to snow capped mountains. It's breath-taking.
