Mi flore

Oh, I forgot to explain more about Sant Jordi's day... It is called the day of books and flowers, because men give roses to girls in remembrance of St. George giving a flower to the princess after he slay the dragon. Girls give books to men because April 23rd is Shakespeare's birthday and another great author's death day. There were thousands of stands for books and flowers of all colors and sizes. The whole city was full of flowers and flower sellers and books everywhere. It was amazing!! My two favorite things all at once. And, I received two lovely roses from Isaac! It was a beautiful day overall. The temperature was the warmest and sunniest this semester so far, and the overall tone of the day was very sweet. It was like a true, simple version of Valentine's Day, without the need to buy expensive gifts in order to show how much you care for someone. I loved it! That's all.
