We just got out of a class with one of our teachers, Jose, telling us all about the Prado Museum that we will be visiting this weekend when we travel to Madrid...I'm getting so excited for this trip! I love visiting art museums, and this will be especially fun, as we get to see a lot of paintings that I have learned about all through my Spanish classes through the years.
In addition to Madrid, a few friends and I are in the process of planning a trip to a few other cities in Spain for next week. I can't wait to share pictures of all the places we get to!
Nothing too exciting has happened since I've written last, so instead, I thought I'd just tell you about some of the food we've been eating here. For breakfast we almost always just make ourselves toast whenever we wake up. I've been learning that I can't skip breakfast here like I do at home! If you don't eat breakfast, you are STARVING by the time lunch rolls around at 2 with all the walking we do.
Most days for lunch, our señora prepares a bocadillo for us, which usually just consists of an amazing ham and cheese sandwich on fresh bread and a piece of fruit. We love our bocadillos. :)
Suppers are our big meal, because that is when our whole family is together to eat. We have a lot of rice and meat, soups with meat and vegetables in them. We often have a Spanish tortillas with our food, which are really good eggs. We have pasta every once in a while...they eat a lot of things with tomato sauce, so pasta is good with that. My host brothers like potatoes, so we have potatoes of every kind, which I love!!
One day my host mother made us a traditional Spanish salad, which was a little strange...it was lettuce, olives, and potatoes! I'd never had warm potatoes on any kind of garden salad before, so that was a new experience. On Friday night, my host mother goes out, so she asked us if we wanted frozen pizza...that sounded good to us!! It ended up being a bacon and tuna pizza...not my favorite, but it wasn't bad. :)
Anyway, I've been loving the food...our mother is a great cook, and I haven't had anything that I haven't liked. We have something different to eat almost everyday, so I'll make another food list later on in the semester!!
