Queridos amigos,
The first week of classes is finished but the homework is not. The professors are wonderful and understand that some of us still need the Spanish spoken clearly and slowly. This weekend I will go to Valencia de Alcánteres a small pueblo not far from Cáceres where Téresa (my mom here in Spain) grew up. She says that we will stay in the old house (that could mean centuries old, I don´t know) on her family´s farm. I am excited to see the orange trees and olive trees and the cold cellar.
Ciao,
Clair

Truffles
C, Thanks for keeping me posted, sounds like a great experience so far. Ask if they know where to find "trifeles" (aka truffles). Recall, these are subteranean delicacies that are produced by ectomycorrhizal fungi. Spain is a great place for them to grow. Learn lots and have fun! Pete
