Only a 5 hour difference

Hey all,

I know its been a while since I updated last. Nothing much has happened over the past week or so. I promise that won't last for long, since this was officially the last weekend I will be in Oviedo for the next 5 weekends. Travel! Travel! Travel! I am off to Salamanca, Amsterdam, Barcelona and then Spring break (Budapest, Berlin, and London!)

A few interesting tid-bits of information:

My art history professor explained why the campus that are classes are on is called El Milan. According to her it was a military base by Spanish troops during their golden age following their capture of Northern Italy. The army and the captain stayed here after the battle that allowed them to add the area of present day Milan, Italy to the long list of Spanish territories.

I also realized today that yes count it I have officially been in Spain over 2 months and Oviedo close to that however I have yet to be inside the Cathedral. It is not that I am avoiding it or I don't want to pay the money. The fact is I have honestly never seen it open! There are no posted times, so I am not even sure when it is open! I am not the only one, out of the 15 Temple students, only one has been inside. Now don't overly worry I am taking a 'field trip' there nice bright and early on Thursday with my art history professor.

As for my title of this blog daylight savings time came around to all of you in America this weekend, but as for everyone here in Europe, well we like to make it complicated. We don't switch our clocks until the 29th of March! So for the next 3 weeks I am only 5 hours difference between Spain and the east coast.

That is all for now!
