No siesta today
First off this morning we took our test to place us in a class to see which ones we will get. Then I went back home to eat, Carmen, my ama de casa, house mom, cooked me some egg with tuna... at first i was like YICK, i´m not going to eat that, and I wonder if that showed on my face. Well to be nice I ate it to try something new, I can now say that I do not dislike eggs and tuna, but I don´t love it. Last night all of us hung out at the plaza at about 6 and I left and went back to my house at 10:30 it was just getting dark can you believe it? I had a beer in a small cup it wasn´t that bad, and had a sip of tinte de verano, which is actually a good drink, it is a watered down wine with fruit in it, but its not to be confused with Sangria. We went and ate at a pizzeria last night about 6 of us went, it was pretty good we got 3 pizzas for 25 euros and shared them between six people so it wasn´t too expensive. Today we have a tour of the school in about.... 45 minutes. The walk to my house from the Plaza de Cervantes is really interesting, you go from nice stores to chinese stoes, shoe stores, tons of watch/jewelry stores as well as specific places to buy food like bread and meat. I think my favorite part of Alcala is the calle mayor and a little green shaded area with a statue of Queen Isabella. There are also lots of storks that live in the cathedrals and their nests are huge, the bird is the size of a man at least to say. Everyone smokes here, you can tell who the smokers are, I wonder what the life expectancy here in Spain is...I wish that I got to take a siesta today :( naps are wonderful, I wish we had them in the USA. Does anyone know if there were any survivors from the plane crash coming from Brazil to France? Other Spanish customs watching T.V. Spainards in Alcala watch ALOT more T.V. than Americans and they eat more, just only healthier.
