Insomniacs are not fashionable...amused by our spontaneous mime garb (gotta love morning face!)
Kaye, Kelly, Kathrine, Justine and I decided to upgrade from really non-nutritious white bread to really really non-nutritious white bread...postres! There is a panaderia (bakery) right across the street from our hostel whose window displays alone cause instant salivation. A blueberry muffin never tasted so good...even if I don't know the word for muffin in Spanish yet! ¡Fue muy barato también!
Stomachs satisfied (for ONCE in the morning!) we met the rest of the group and a slightly agitated Miguel Angel (another rumor clarification- Spanairds are NOT ok with being late) to go to our housing orientation.
Here is what we can expect of nuestras host madres:
- They will do our laundry (2 loads) once a week
- They will provide a small breakfast, LARGE lunch (3pm), and dinner (most likely at 10pm)
- #5- "Please behave politely Spain-wise: Lying down on living room couches, foot on top, or walking bare foot in the house is considered bad manners." Who knew we were so rude!?
- We cannot bring home guests without permission.
- They will not let you mess with their kitchens.
Mrs. Mateos works in a Shopping Mall and has two daughters who live independently and visit her frequently. They like reading, music, going out and to the cinema. They are a kind and communicative family. She does not smoke. There are no pets at home.
The girl who had her last year told me she absolutely adored her! Her 3 grandchildren (all under age 3) come over often as well as her daughters. She sounds very relaxed about her home environment and also loves to watch gameshows! ha!
Can't wait to meet her TOMORROW!
¡Hoy es muy soleado! The blue sky backdrop compliments the bold colors of the city buildings so well. Pobrecita Kaye tuvo dolor de su estomago esta tarde, entonces Kelly and I went for a long walk. I took a few pictures in response to several specific requests...
Donde yo vivo ahora
Las tiendas en el mercado...dead animals EVERYWHERE
Calles bonitas
Beautiful Granada I wish I could do you justice
Sierra Nevadas peek over the city y dice ¡Hola!
Spices and teas on "Tea St."
More to come after our welcome dinner....Adio (and I purposely left off the s!)

Awesome pictures MP!
ReplyDeleteI hate to be the bearer of bad news... but your roommate points are suffering severely due to your absence. However, if you let the roommates join in on one of your Skype conversations con tu novio, I will consider giving you a point or two.
Can't wait to keep reading your adventures! We miss you at apartment four!
