La Bolera en Segovia

    LA BOLERA     

The weather changed. We awoke to hail in the city and snow on the mountains.  

What better day could there be to go bowling!  

Today's guest bloggers are Preston Smith and Serena Murison.

Yesterday (Sunday), everyone spent time with his or her family in the morning.  This day was the first time we were able to sleep in late all week.  After a big Sunday lunch in the afternoon, we decided to go bowling.  The place was American-themed and called “Bowling Segovia”.  Inside the alley, there was an American restaurant with a lot of our favorites like hamburgers and fries.  A lot of people ordered French fries, and some ordered bacon-ranch cheese fries.  We had three lanes – one had bumpers for those that were less confident in their bowling abilities. It was comforting to see the locals play with bumpers. After two games, we passed by a movie theater on the way to the bus. We are planning to see a movie within the next few weeks – possibly The Avengers or The Hunger Games (called “Los Juegos de Hambre” in Spanish). In the end, we took the bus back to the aqueduct.  A fun day! 

Here is a short video of Nicole showing us her awesome bowling technique:

We don't know this little girl but she was cute.

Ayer (Domingo), nosotros nos quedamos en la casa con nuestras familias en la mañana. Este día fue nuestra primera opportunidad para dormir tarde en la semana. Después de un almuerzo grande con nuestras familias de España, decidimos jugar a la bolera. El lugar tenía temáticas americanas y  se llamaba “Bowling Segovia.” Dentro de la bolera, había un restaurante americano con muchas de nuestras comidas favoritas como hamburgeusas y papas fritas. Muchas personas del grupo ordenaron papas fritas, y algunos ordenaron papas fritas rancheaso con tocino  y queso. Tuvimos tres pistas – una con parachoques para los estudiantes quien no tuvieron confianza en sus habilidades. Fue consoladoro ver los locales de Segovia jugando con los parachoques. Después de dos juegos, pasamos por el cine en ruta al autobus. Estámos planeando ver una película en las semanas proximas – quizás Los Vengadores o Los Juegos de Hambre. En el fin, tomamos el autobús al aqueducto y regresamos a nuestras casa.  Un día divertido.
