Mothers Day Weekend with my Mommy

Hey all,

Sorry I am once again delayed. First this first last Thursday was our final group dinner, and it was in the same location as our first dinner. The little things that cracked me up from people who are now friends, people who don't talk any more and the ability to have an entire group dinner without a work of English between the 15 of us.
The big highlight however of this weekend was the fact that my parents were here! After a week in Paris the two of them stayed in Oviedo and I got the chance to show them around. We did the basics, the cathedral, the art museum (a first for me), the park, the mall, and best of all JESUS in the mountain. My parents thought I was crazy for climbing all the way up there, but my host parents drove them all the way up to see the city from the air. I was very much amazed by how quickly you can get up the mountain by car, not the few hours it took me to walk up. On Sunday we also headed to Gijón so I could show them the beach of course!

It was so nice to see my parents for the weekend they are currently touring the rest of Spain for about a week. On a super sad note. I have 10 days in Spain left from here. I need to study my butt off for finals and buy a few last minute gifts, but that is about all. One more weekend and 10 more days and summer vacation will officially start.
