A day in life

Today I went to my friend house for studying biochemistry. We achieved our goal furthermore, we have fun too. After we did what we suppose to do, she shows me her dogs. As I remember, one called El lobo the other called de-yebo and the last is blanco.( I know nothing about the spilling :s)

You do not see dogs too often here. Actually, we had one many years ago. It called Fevian. Anyway, now we decided to gather every day till our exam.

Wish you sweet dreams
