Yesterday was the one month mark for my Spanish journey. I finally went to the gym to shoot around since I now have my student card for UPV (la Universidad Politecnica de Valencia). After shooting for awhile I decided to watch some of the Spaniards playing. The only comment that I have to make is that soccer is the national sport in Spain for a reason. After leaving the gym we were told to get off the tram. As we walked down the street we realized that something had happened. A little bit further down we saw that one tram had t-boned another tram. I think it’s crazy that as wild as they drive here, I saw a tram wreck (kinda rare) before a car wreck. The tram situation was pretty bad and 23 people had to be taken to hospitals. Today was big for me because it was the first time since last Thursday that I was able to have/spend money. After many phone calls and trips to banks I got a Spanish bank account open. Hopefully there will not be any more money drama for the rest of my trip/learning experience/vacation.

Hey Brandon,
I am really enjoying the beautiful pictures you are taking. It is fun to be a part of your study abroad. You have not made many comments on the food are you surviving on bread alone :-) We miss you!
