It was a three day trip, since we had off of school this monday. When I asked my abuelo what holiday we were observing he looked at me astounded. (I've come to the conclusion that my laid back sense of humor is what will prevent me from ever succeeding in politics... I just think being politically correct is a form of appeasing a child) No has oido de KREESTOFEHR COLOMBO!?? (You've never heard of Christopher Colombus!!?)
I mean obviously I know who Christopher Colombus was but I was among 27 of the 29 students in my program who didn't know that Spain also celebrated Colombus day. Why? Well, because although Mister Colombus was Italian, his trip to the New World was funded by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella of Spain. He is buried in the Cathedral in Sevilla and if you ever go there, don't act surprised. They are VERY proud of it!
