Settled In

Hola!!

So I am all settled in and have been living in Spain for about a week. Everything is going really well. I have a great family that takes really good care of me. They have taught me some Spanish card games and have cooked some amazing food that I now know how to make for everyone back in the States. For all you chocolate fans out there.....you would die for what I had for breakfast one morning. They are somewhat like churros called porras and they are like fried dough that you dunk into thick melted chocolate. It was FABULOUS!!!!!!! I traveled to Madrid once thus far and went to the Museo del Prado and El Puerto del Sol. My house is close to everything!! Alcalingua (my school) is about 10 min walking from my house and there is a small shopping mall about 5 min walking and the train station is 3 min walking. It's really awesome. Classes are a little slow right now because everyone is getting acclimated. Definitely different than those Spanish classes back at home!!! Everything is in Spanish from the time I get up to the time I go to bed. I'm forcing myself not to write in Spanish right now...! Everything is much more relaxed here though. I don't feel like I'm really going to school, I feel like I'm on a vacation. Everything is very laid back and no one gets stressed about anything. It's really refreshing. Well it's 2pm over here (8am your time) and I need to get home to eat lunch! Hasta luego amigos.
