Today Rachel, Lexi and I went exploring a little. We went to this huge market called el Rastro. There are long streets of vendors selling clothes, shoes, purses, art, etc. It was a lot of fun! I bought a colorful dress. Then we went on the metro to do a practice run to our school and walked around the area a little bit. It made me feel a lot better and now I think I somewhat know my way around. :)
We came back to our area and went with Erinn to "Telepizza," this pizza fast food restaurant. It was pretty good, but not as cheap as fast food in the states. When we got back we were talking about how we didn't feel as good after eating that... compared to the food our family cooks for us. Tonight for dinner we had lentil, rice, chicken with cheese inside of it, salad, and bread. We always have french bread with our meals, and the eating times are very different here. Lunch isn't til around 2 and dinner is around 9pm! So there is more time in between meals and not much snacking. Our meals with our family are always delicious and I'm always in a good mood after dinner. Me gusta mucho nuestra familia y casa!
Tomorrow is our first day of classes! I have one starting at 9:30am, then two more from 4:15- 6pm. All of my roommates don't start until 11:15 tomorow, but I am meeting up with the students that live with Concha (Conchi's mom) only a few blocks down the street.

Hilarious- stay away from Telepizza! If you need to eat out of the house, there is a really good Asian place down the street from you- if you walk down Ave de la Ciudad de Barcelon towards the Menendez Pelayo stop, you will see it on the left. (I will try to think of the name, but Conchi will probably know what I'm talking about.)
ReplyDeleteI miss the "lentejas!"
