The school week of week 2 in Spain was pretty basic, and I didn't do much other than coming and going from school as well spending some time with my family at home. The school week was only 4 days long though and I ended up having a 3-day weekend which was super fun. On Thursday night I went with my family into Ourense to see the Christmas lights. When we got there, we went to buy churros, which were really good and are eaten dipped in a really rich hot chocolate. I then went with my mum to buy some clothes and after, we went to see the giant Christmas tree made of lights be turned on. It was so pretty and cool. We walked back through the brightly lit streets to get back to the car.

Then on Saturday my sisters and I went to watch Moana with their uncle, their aunt and their cousin. We first had lunch at an American themed restaurant, then had a coffee looking out over the river. Before going into the cinema, I bought a giant bag of lollies and a massive coke which I didn't finish but it was really yummy and pretty cheap. The movie was really good, but it was entirely in Spanish, so some parts were a bit difficult to understand, but with the pictures it wasn't too bad and for the most part I could understand what was going on.
