-I have 4 host sisters (not 2 like previously believed). 2 have children, 2 do not.
-2 dogs: german shepard-y type mutt and little white dog (blue and luna)
-Food has been wonderful!! I've only told her i didn't like one thing and it was like a spinach quiche
-Breakfast: french bread cut into ovals with raspberry jam, yogurt (have to put sugar in it and stir it up to make it taste good), and coffee with milk
-Lunch: (to go) basically half a french bread baguette with ham and cheese (bocadilla), banana, apple, and something else like a muffin or if I'm in the house, soup or paella
dinner: soup, chicken, potatoes, broccoli, spaghetti (pretty much everything is normal)
-Breakfast when you wake up, snack at 11, lunch at 1 or 2, snack at 6, dinner at 9 or 930. yes spaniards eat 5 times at day.
-The door knob of my apartment door is in the middle of the door and doesn't turn.
-The button in the elevator doesn't light up when you press it but every other button lights up when you reach that floor when going up.
Life in Spain
-The shops really do close for siesta. Unfortunately, it is impossible to know what time each shop will take their siesta. I've decided it's just best to get any shopping/errands done before 2ish.
-You have to flag down the bus you want at a bus stop otherwise they think you are taking a different bus. You also have to press the stop button on the bus before your stop, otherwise they might not stop.
-You know how when you go to the grocery store to buy Coke, you buy 6 or 12? Here you just rip open the pack or take them off the plastic circles and take however many you want. So people just take two or three and leave the open package in the store.
Hmm, thats all I can think of now.
Love,
Lizzy
