Day 11 (Alyssa Peckham)

Hola! Today was our last day of classes before los examenes (exams) tomorrow. I started off my day as usual with a desayuno (breakfast) of cereal and tostada con marmalade (toast with jam). Then I went to class from 8:30-1:15. Today our teachers finished up our lessons and told us what to study and que no cunta panico (not to panic) about our exams. After class I ate lunch and took a siesta (nap) before meeting our group at 5:30 to go to the beautiful Museo Art Nouveau y Art Deco in Casa Lis.

In 1995, the museum was established to display the collection of art that Manuel Ramos Andrade donated. The museum houses 19 different collections of artwork from the 1900s. Some art types from these collections include jewelry, iridescent glass, porcelain pieces, and furniture. One of my favorite collections was the special exhibit for Coco Chanel y sus amigos (friends) featuring clothes (ropa), perfume, statues, and paintings.  Everything there was absolutely beautiful! After we left the museum we went to buy galletas (cookies) from the nuns near the old church. Then we were given free time before la cena (dinner) to shop and walk around the city. 

Today was a fantastic day where I learned new things and made new memories that will last a lifetime.

Adios, Alyssa
