El Primer Día


After my long trip here it was relatively easy to go to sleep and catch a rest before my first day. We had to arrive at school at around 8:30 to take an entrance exam and get situated in different classes based on skill. The exam and oral went well and they placed us into different classes. I have two kids from France and about five or so from California and one from NJ and one from NY in my class. It's cool because there are kids from all over the world here. I have a few friends from France, a few from Italy, one from London, and a lot from all over the US. Thankfully my luggage arrived at the school and after class I brought it back to my house. I then left to meet my group and grabbed some ice cream on the way. It was very good, like the gelato in Italy. We then took a bus to a lift that took us to the top of the mountain. The view from here is amazing. You can see most of San Sebastian from here and it's really awesome. There is also a little theme park there with games, ponies, bumper cars, and a roller coaster ride. Kind of old and low end, but cool nonetheless. We came down from the mountain and returned home because it started to rain. It was a good first day. Hasta manana...
