Un otra Dia!

I've noticed that the more I speak, write, and think in English, the harder it is to go back to Spanish. So I'm going to make this short and sweet.

I'm sure some of you are wondering if there are things in the US that I miss, or am going to miss. And I've been thinking about those, too. So, here they are:

Mint Chocolate chip Ice cream (they don't have it here, as far as I can tell!!)
Cafe Yumm
NyQuil
Puffs plus with Lotion
Airborne
Zicam
Campbell's Chicken noodle soup.

You may have noticed, unless you are rather slow, that most of these things are what you need/want when you are sick. Well, guess "What?"...I have a cold. yay! it's what everyone wants for their first few days in a foreign country/home. It's making me tired, which was hard to explain when I fell asleep around 2:30 p.m. today. I really want my NyQuil, which may be disgusting, but you can down it quickly and then you're done... Here Isabel gave me something that you dissolve in water, and it tastes awful. It's salty and bitter at the same time, and you can't down it quickly. She said it will help me sleep, and breathe better. Well, for tasting this awful, it better!!

Here are a few other things I've been thinking about, that are very random.

The driving here is INSANE!! the roads are tiny, and curvy, so you can't see if a car is coming toward you, and you have to be in the middle of the road to not sideswipe the hills and stuff directly next to the road...

There are fiestas outside our apartment every night, starting around..now, which is 11:25 p.,m. they have fireworks, music and, what every spanish party needs, lots and lots of alcohol. But it doesn't keep me up, so that's ok.

Lidia is sooo cute! she's already calling me her sister, and I can tell she's really happy to have me here

In the house here, we all always wear slippers. If I'm not wearing mine, someone will notice and point, asking why i'm not wearing them, and if I'm cold. This is very hard for me, because I hate hate hate wearing shoes/socks/slippers, and prefer to go barefoot. We'll see if I can remember to wear the slippers (that are waaay too big for me)

and I'm sure there's more, but that's all i can remember for now.

The pictures today are of Igos, a very sweet fruit with lots of seeds inside, and of postres Isabel made, with cream inside.
