Two women were killed during Semana Santa by a drunk driver. It's really a terrible story. The driver was over 2x the legal limit alcohol in the blood, he wasn't even supposed to be driving because he had had past incidents with the law, he was going 2x the speed limit, and went through a red light. The two women, one from Madrid and one from Seville, were stepping out of a taxi to cross the street (green for pedestrians, red for drivers) when they got hit and killed. One of the worst parts is that one girl's boyfriend was still inside the taxi paying the fare and watched the whole thing happen.
The driver has 8 years in prison. And that was that. Really disgusting, irresponsible, and sad.
In lighter news, I had my first gazpatcho today! I didn't realize that the vegetables in the soup are not cooked. It tasted literally like a really good, pureed salsa. We added chopped hard boiled eggs to it.
Other funny news, anyone who knows me well knows that I get some sort of random skin rash atleast once every couple months. Well, today I got my first one here! On my elbows. In literature class my left elbow started feeling hot and itchy. I could only see it a little, but Megan said it looked kind of bumpy and red and covered the whole thing. It went away about an hour later.
Now tonight the same thing is happening to my right elbow! It is so strange. A part of me feels like I should be worried, but this has happened to me so many times that it has become somewhat of a fun game. It might be going away already! I always say, the only way you can tell I'm Irish is that my skin will flare up at the flick of a wrist. Oh well.
Our trip to Ronda is tomorrow! We will be there all day pretty much. I can't believe it is our second to last field trip! Crazy.
Time for bed now. Hasta luego!
