Chocolate!

Jan 14, 2008

We have been here few days now and I think I’m getting the hang of things. I haven’t been lost in a while. J The walk to school is actually very straightforward now that I know it. haha It seems silly now that I got so lost! Funny how it works like that.

Classes have been good. We have been reviewing the past tenses and tomorrow will start subjunctive. sweet. The second teacher (whose name is also Inma) is very excited about it, so maybe it will be fun. :P

Today I had my first chocolate since I’ve been here!! Hooray!! We found a wonderful place that serves a lot of desserts so I think we will be good friends with the servers before the semester is over. J One really good thing that is common here is called “chocolate con churros.” You get a cup of warm melted chocolate and a plate of fried dough (kind of like at the fair), and you dip the churros in the hot chocolate. Muy deliciosa! And then when all the churros are gone you eat the rest of the chocolate with a spoon! YUM (fat kid)

I got a roommate yesterday! Her name is Cara, she is from Minnesota, and she is wonderful! It is so great to have another student here. Now I have someone to eat with and walk home with! Also, my señora has a señor visitor who has come by the flat a lot. They sit in the den and talk and talk and sit on the sofa together with their feet under the heater-table. So cute! Cara and I hung out with the two of them last night and had a lively discussion. He is really great. J

Love to you all!! Next time I will tell about a few tours we have been on.
