A whole week...and the little old man came by :)

I can't believe it's been one whole week! It's been so great! Even though the mornings here are cold, - the rest of the day is so perfect! Today's weather has been absolutely AMAZING. The sky is always blue, and it is addictively beautiful in the afternoon. This afternoon I rushed through my ususal 3 pm lunch so I could get back outside and enjoy the day. I went to study some Espanol and it came to me in a great package. As illuded to in a previous post, the old men of Salamanca come to sit in Plaza Mayor in the afternoons. Today, one little old man came up to me and asked for cigarettes. I had to apologize that since I don't fumar (smoke), I didn't have any for him. The next little old man came up to me and he just wanted to talk. His patience with me was priceless and he kept converation close to things I could talk about. I initially questioned his intentions, but was pleasently suprised when he just like to visit with people - after we were finished talking, he went on to the next person.
