So in the US, Friday the 13th is supposedly a day of bad luck (black cats, broken mirrors, etc).
Well here in Spain, it's Tuesday the 13th! They have a saying that goes like this "Martes 13, no te cases ni te embarques" which means "Tuesday the 13th, don't get married or board a ship"
Thought this was an interesting fact to share with ya'll
Also- I've been woken up the past two days in a row by petardos, loud firecrackers, at 7:30am. This is another part of fallas- it's called La Despertá, which means wake up. People parade through the streets around 7:30am throwing and lighting off petardos. AKA no one sleeps
one more day of school, then Fallas will officially begin. I cannot wait!!
Also-- my dad just informed me that my brother and sister will be joining him to visit me in May. Life could not get any better <3
Off to teach some English to Carlos, the 12 year old Spanish student.
Besos! xo
