This'll be a short post, but I just wanted to let everyone en los Estados Unidos que I am alive y bien. And perhaps you shall learn a little Spanish yourself while I am here. ¡Sí!
So after a wonderful surprise visit from mis amigas en Seattle y Walla Walla, I did not get any sleep going on my flights and on the plane - no sleep. I believe I was much to nervous for sleep. Traveling alone to a foreign country is no easy task. After a day and a half of travel I am finally in Cadiz and am very pleased with my family. They are a very beautiful family and very friendly. Every time I see one of them it's besitos y abrazos (kisses and hugs). Slowly I'm getting used to all the kissing from random strangers. Ok, not totally random.
Well, as I am a very random I will share 5 random things I have learned in Spain thus far. ¡Disfruta! Enjoy!
1. Married couples wear their wedding ring on the right hand. ¡Este es mucho mejor! La mano del Dios. Sí. (This is much better! The right hand of God.)
2. They have to pay about $1.25 to use a shopping cart at a grocery store. I am thankful it is free en los EEUU (USA).
3. They drink Coca-Cola more than water. In the refrigerator there is always a liter of CC ready a beber (to drink).
4. They eat dinner at 11 PM and stay up all night.
5. They're public buses are nicer than ours. They are like private coaches. ¡Qué guay! (How cool!)
Until next week....
I have decided I shall post each week by Sunday night. So stay tuned. I will definitely try to post some photos of my family soon. Adios.
