Day 2!

Things I LOVE about Alcala:
-The little stores! The town is absolutely full of them, and they are full of everything you could ever want! The “fruterias” (fruit stores) are the prettiest! I’ll take some creepy “tourist” pictures soon!
-The “pisos” (apartment buildings) that everyone lives in…they are all have little balconies where they dry laundry.
-Siesta! Eating a big meal and chilling from 2-5 in the afternoon? Whoever started this was a genius.

Things I’m not used to yet:
-The shower! It is a tub with a sprayer attached… I’m still very awkward when I try to use it!
-The eating schedule… pastries/coffee at 9, la comida at 2:30 (the big meal), la cena at 9:30. Plus great snacks in between. I love it, but my body isn’t used to it yet!
-Being stared at. Here it is completely acceptable to stare openly at people, whether they’re having a bad hair day or you think they’re really attractive. (Being American doesn’t help either!)
