I had a great conversation with my host mother yesterday.We talked about politics, and it was so interesting to hear about her views. That's what I love about language：it allows people from completely different backgrounds to communicate with one another and to begin to understand each other.

　　I love the culture here.The best part is the "siesta(午睡)"．Every afternoon，the shops close and everyone goes home to eat lunch and take a nap(小睡)．Then，they go back to work feeling completely refreshed! It's wonderful.I also love the fact that you can walk everywhere.

　　Lauren，Caitlin，and I are planning on going to the beach this weekend.It's supposed to rain，but I hope it doesn't！We also want to go horse riding in the mountains.I can't wait.

　　I'll be sure to write again soon! I miss you.

　　Much love,

　　Anna
