Hola!  Last night, I found out that my extremely close friend, Sarah from home will be living with me all semester!  It is so comforting having her here and it's going to be so much fun!  Today has been such a fun day!  It is dia de los reyes and when we woke up for breakfast we had a traditional pastry that has surprises in it.  I got a piece with a little statue of the king in it which meant I had to wear a crown around the house this morning! haha It was hilarious!  Then Sarah and I went for a run in the park which was BEAUTIFUL :) There are palm trees all over and amazing fountains and it's so breath-taking.  Words cannot describe how pretty this city is.  I also realized the view of the snow capped mountains from my bedroom window!  So cool!  We then played with our little sister and her kitchen that she got for dia de los reyes.  Our family also got us pretty scarves and bracelets!   I'm still missing home a lot but I'm getting more used to living here and I just finished skyping with my mom, pat and bethie and now we're going to relax and then possibly go out for some tapas tonight!
