I finally have pictures!

Ok everyone, I finally have pictures!  But they're a little blurry because the autofocus on my camera is shot so I'm having to use the manual focus.
     Today I went out by myself for the first time in order to let the university know I was actually in Vitoria.  I used a combination of the bus lines and my feet to get where I needed.  I have to admit I got a tad lost initially.  I wasn't sure about which bus to take when it came time for me to transfer lines (Line 2 had 2a, 2b, and another with just a name on it!).  But I got the one I needed, and then ended up getting off at the wrong stop because the bus driver didn't open the doors at the one I needed even though I pressed the button.
     Anyone know how to say "Uh...remember I pressed that button that means you open the doors here?" in español?
     Because of this I wound my way back to the university from a different stop and walked through this little park only to get lost again on the campus!

I think if you click on the pictures they will get bigger.

I got lost again because I was walking, whereas the last time I went to the university Jonathan had been driving.

But because I got a bit lost (aaagain) I saw the cutest little street with my favorite thing in the world, a tree tunnel.

The houses around the university are insane.  Some of them look like they came straight from Germany, and others look like they belong in Architectural Digest.

However, once I walked down here:

 I recognized the street we had arrived on last week, which led me to La Facultad de Letras! My building (as seen below)!

The woman in the international office today was just the secretary (the director was on vacation of all things) and she helped me the best she could by switching to English when she could see that I clearly had no idea what she was talking about.

Below are a couple of pictures of what surrounds the apartment.  We have mountains in the back (all around, really) and a super old church to the front (which I need to check out).

Here are a few things I did today or things I became aware of that are not photographically documented:

• I have no idea what to do with myself during a 3 hour siesta where it's basically dark afterward.
• I got a bike! Jonathan's mom's boyfriend had one that he is letting me borrow for my time here.  There are bike lanes everywhere so it should be A LOT easier to get around than in the 6 lanes of traffic on Western Blvd.
• I went with Jonathan to the Supermarket which is much more different than what I am used to.  There are many different things there like a place selling washing machines, a place making copies of keys, and even a pet shop (which had squirrels for sale?).
• The coolest thing about the supermarket is that there is an entire isle dedicated to jamón (ham). And not Hillshire Farms.  I mean the kind of meat you find at a fine butcher AND cured WHOLE LEGS of pigs just hanging out in the isle.  It was incredible.
• Since Jonathan doesn't speak English, I'm being forced to use my spanish a lot more and it usually ends up in both of us being incredibly confused.  Today, however, we had a lesson on nuts or frutos secos. None of these pronunciations are technical, just phonetic (obviously).
• Pipas= Sunflower seeds (pee-pas)
• Nuez= Walnut (new-es)
• Avellana= Hazelnut (ah-bey-yanas)
• Cacahuete= Peanut (caca-wet-eh)
