It was founded on March 9, 1731 by a group of 15 canarian families, and it's the oldest working one in Texas. It's big and beautiful, so we took some photos.
At night we went to an Italian and ate tortellini and pizza. Mmmm!

Day 15. 04-02-12
Today Mathew and I went to the AT&T Center to see the match between the San Antonio Rampage and the Chicago Wolves (Hockey). He's the only one in the family who really loves hockey, so it wasn't difficult to convince him of coming with me. I loved it and we won!
I was disappointed because I wanted to see fighting, like in films, but there was nothing of it. I though the Cheerleaders would ice-skate as well, but they didn't: there's a black carpet for them to dance on. What I wanted to do and I did was eating a HUGE hotdog while I saw the match (I hear my stomach roaring only for thinking of it!)

Day 13. 02-04-12
It's hard to believe that it's only about two weeks I arrived here. It seems like I've been in San Antonio for much longer! Of course, I miss all my family and friends, particularly my dog, because I can't communicate with him talking on the phone o through skype: I want to hug and cuddle him! D:
Today the guys have been teaching me something "really useful" during the break: four letter words. I'm not proud about it, but I already knew a lot of them. We had a great time, specially when the roles changed and I tought them how to say 4LW in Spanish. They're awful pronunciating! After ten minutes they learnt to say some of them in an understandable way, though.
In the afternoon Loren and I visited the Central Library, as promised. It's webpage is awesome: there's a tag were you can see what happened each day in San Antonio's history (like a back in time newspaper). It is huge! I borrowed some Byron's books: Loren's favourites, and, after searching, we found some Becquer ones for her. I hope she likes them.
In summary, it was a very instructive day :)

Day 12. Sunday!
Today all the family went to Brakenridge Park. We had a picnic in the grass next the Sunken Garden Theatre and visited again the Japanese Tea Garden. The rest of the day, we practiced sports in the fields (baseball, basket, football (our football) volleyball...) Again, I'm almost dead!
Days 8-11
I've been doing nothing at all for a few days, except reading the american football's rules.
On Wednesday's evening, Loren, Mathew and I went to see the Hunger Games. We've all been waiting for the movie since we read the books (a year or two ago). It's nice to find that I have common likes with them, though we live thousands of kilometres away. I was excited, because the film isn't in Spain, yet.
I absolutely love it! The only bad thing is I'd have chosen other people to perform the characters.
On Thursday we saw San Antonio Talons VS Orlando Predators on TV. That's american football, and we beat them 47-34!
I wanted to see the match in the stadium, but the tickets were too expensive. Brian, Loren and Mathew are real fanatics: it's insane! But it's also really funny to see their faces while they're watching their team play.
On Friday, we went to see the Bluebonnet Concert. It was free and given by the Children's Chorus of San Antonio. Very relaxing! I wish I could have voice to song :)
On Saturday, there was the native San Antonio thing. There were lots of things: native plant sales, hiking, local music, native american dance presentations, native cooking demostrations, cultural talks... It was a different day... we took a native picnic from our house, so we didn't have to spend money there.

Day 5. Sunday!
My tummy is aching! Today we had a brunch (breakfast and lunch). The table seemed too small to put all the food on. There were pancakes -where we spread honey, peanut butter, cocoa creme and marmelade- and also fried bacon, boiled eggs, grilled tomatoes, beans in tomato sauce, orange juice, coffee, milk, different types of toasted bread...
Then we dressed up in short clothes. It´s so, so hot! We spent all day in Market Square. Being there is like being in Mexico. I tried "burritos" and "nachos", but without chilli: I hate spicy food! I'll maybe buy there my family's souvenirs
