Sunny sundays :)

I absolutely love it when it is nice over the weekends here! The city turns into a totally different place, and it has more of a small town feel. In Spain, most stores and restaurants are closed on Sundays, as Sunday is a designated family day. Coming from the US where we use Sundays to run errands, go shopping, or study all day, this was a bit hard to get used to. In fact, it still is. I get antsy sitting around all day, so I generally try to find a way to leave the house. I was supposed to meet up with Sergio today, but he had to cancel. So I decided to take a walk after lunch! I explored the part of town that I've never really been to, stopped by Valor chocolate (a Spanish chocolate company that has amazing chocolate!), and walked down to Fontan. Fontan is a plaza in the old town where they hold a Saturday market type thing every Saturday and Sunday where everyone catches up and shares gossip of the week. Since I was taking my time exploring, they were cleaning up right as I stumbled upon it. That was fine, but I think ill actually try go next weekend! On my way home I stopped by Parque San Francisco,  and I'm currently just sitting here people watching. Since I live in the heart of downtown, I am so used to seeing people hurrying about everywhere they go. It is so refreshing to sit here and watch people stroll by, enjoying the nice day and taking a little time for themselves!  Plus this park is just absolutely gorgeous :)
