Ya vienen los Reyes Magos!

I thought I might take 5 minutes to describe this holiday more in depth. Tomorrow/Today is el Dia de los Reyes Magos. It celebrates when the Magi came to visit the baby Jesus and bring him gifts. On this day (tomorrow) we open gifts. Not on Christmas. And it is a big deal. Yesterday and the day before we (being my host family and I) went to two different plays. The one on Thursday was in Colmenar Viejo (look it up on Google maps if you want, it is just north of us in Tres Cantos) and it celebrated the Magi coming and that whole story with Herod. And apparently some of the actors are actually famous actors that are known throughout Spain. I didn't know any of them. And then yesterday we went to the Christmas play of the church. It was quite well done and I enjoyed it. Today we went to a parade! We left around 5 in Train for Madrid and saw the Cabalgata (parade kinda deal) there. There were TONS of people and it kinda made me think of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. But less huge. But still huge. We had an Ok spot but we couldn't see all of the stuff between the floats. Just the stuff on the floats. But i had a good time. And then we came home and had dinner and are about to go to bed. And then tomorrow we are going to about 5 different peoples houses (ok only 2 or 3, but still a lot) and bringing them the gifts from us. Oh, and one other thing. Here, the Reyes Magos bring EVERYTHING. So tomorrow we will be bringing people the gifts the Reyes left at our house for them. So know all of you know everything about this holiday. Now off to sleep. Good-Night!
