Yesterday my assignment for my culture and civilization class was to take a picture of our meals at home (i do this already, yay!) Pretty much all class has been about so far is what Spaniards do day to day, what they eat, etc. and we have been learning about meals and tapas. Its pretty difficult to go to this class and learn about all the food since its right before my "normal" lunch time back at home, but here I still have to wait about 3 more hours til lunch! So, this is what we had yesterday for lunch and dinner.
After dinner, we usually have fruit and/or yogurt, and the family decided that for my picture it was best to just put all the possibilities together since I would most likely eat it all anyways. We also pulled out the scale for the first time yesterday to see if nuestra dieta has been working. Scary times!
Sunday we went to church at the cathedral, which is the largest Gothic cathedral and the third largest church in the world. Its amazing that I can go there and that I get to walk by it everyday. I could also understand the priest at this church a lot more than the one last Sunday! The weird was when we went to get communion, everyone just went up at once instead of going pew by pew.
After church, a few of us went to Real Alcazar Casa and it was amazing! It was probably better going with just a few of us than going with the whole group because we had more time to stay and look at everything. At first, it seemed like it was just an indoor museum, but there is a huge outdoor part also filled with my favorite orange trees!
When we left the Alcazar museum, the first thing I saw right out of the exit was another beautiful view of the city, with a carriage in the street, and the Cathedral right across the street. Its crazy that I can see all these things right where I live, its not far away at all, its actually right along my walk to school everyday!
Yesterday Emily and I went to Corte Ingles, which is kind of like a Dillards/Ulta/Walmart/Bookstore/HobbyLobby all in one. We have also been on a search for stamps for a few days without any luck. So mom, if you are reading this, I will write you back as soon as I find some :)
A couple of days ago, Emily, Rita and I did exercises in the living room to Shakira. Pretty sure we have the best host mom ever! After dinner, she showed us pictures of her previous students and letters they had written her. We definitely bonded!
Time to take a pre-siesta siesta. And then eat. And then siesta before class!
Will you be doing any cooking? Beautiful pics/beautiful views.
