Today was the first day of classes and a tour of Alcala! I am so relieved, because I love my profesoras and I feel better about all the work I'll be doing!
When I came home for lunch at 2:30 (which, by the way, is awesome that a lot of people here go home for a long sit-down lunch and siesta!) Pilar's grandson Dani was there, and he is toooo adorable! He's 3 years old and used to be quite scared of me, but now he actually talks to me! He likes to practice counting in English because he learns it in school... cutest thing ever! We had delicious lentils (lentajes) for lunch, which has carrots and chorizo with it, and you eat it with pan (bread). Butttt it turned out that I also had a huge plate of pollo (chicken) to eat so I ended up eating twice as much as normal and was super stuffed! But that's okay because you don't end up eating again until around 9:30! The food here is muy rico (verrryyy delicious!) :) I don't know why everyone said I'd lose weight... the Pilars just love to watch me eat, and don't listen if I refuse more food!!! It's adorable!
Some of us walked around the plaza tonight (even though it keeps raining :( and went to a few shops. They have the prettiest scarves, jewelry, and everything else! Which may turn out to be a bad thing! :) As soon as it stops raining I'll take and post more fotos de Alcala!
Hasta muy pronto!
