Hey Guys,
I feel like my last post was a little scattered, so I hope this one is clearer. I am actually at my school right now, waiting for another, I dunno, two hours, until my next class. I would like to apologize for NOT answering yesterday, I kept not hearing my phone in general, and at one point, I went to answer, and as I picked up the phone it said ¨missed call¨, pretty sad right!? Well, happy birthday!!!! I´ll try again today and hopefully I will be on it and you´ll answer!
Alright, well, yesterday I actually went out and explored Granada at night. I few fellow classmates and I wandered about the town. Its still amazing to me that at ten at night, there are children still getting ice cream with their parents, and that the streets are flooded with people of all ages. From tiny babies to tiny old people. I got a melon gelato, sorry, couldn´t deny it, and walked a little less than two miles to meet with some people. Stopping in a few bars for some drinks, we got some pretty sweet free tapas (a small tuna sandwich and olives) but I just wasn´t very hungry, so I didn´t actually eat it. Now that I think about it, it could have easily been the grossest sandwich in the world, but hey, it looked nice!
It was a nice chill out, I went home and to sleep at around three am, when a few other people actually kept going and hit up a discoteca. I am actually happy with that choice, because, although I did take a two hour nap yesterday, I still don´t think three hours of sleep is ever a good idea! The whole time thing here is really different to what I am used to, but I am slowly acclimating, which is good.
Every morning, my senora wakes up especially to make me a cafe con leche, and throws me a few madalenas(I don´t know if that is spelled right). Its pretty much mini, super sweet muffins. Apparently, there is not nutella and toast here in Spain, its madalenas, which is cool too, I guess. I kind of was excited to have nutella. To furthur clearly describe cafe con leche, one must know that it is much creamier than a latte. I am fairly sure its half weak espresso and half cream. Yes, that seems about right. Although I have had at it many a restaurant, I would still have to say that I like my host mom´s version the best. Funny, no?
My walk to class is about 40 minutes, and I am actually not walking too slow. It takes me past through, well, nothing special, seems like I got screwed on the pretty views of the city. Today, in an effort to shorten my trip, I got lost but thats okay, I found my way back, and that is what is more important.....????
I guess thats about all for now. Miss you all!! Love you all (unless I don´t know you)

Lizkind, Coffee con leche is made with whole milk , no water, milk is heated up and instant coffe is mixed in.
Trying to find shorter way in an old city is like finding a shortcut in a maze. Get a map. But you are good with directions. Be careful, though.Write us more, everybody is enjoying your dispatches, not everybody can write you back often. Next Sun or Sat we'll have my perpetual B-day celebration. mama will cook Heaven- -on -a -plate meatloaf.
hi! s sounds like papa had a great birthday and the celebration continues next weekend with 'heaven on a plate':) and liz (pronounced 'leez') sounds like you're having a nice time! i know the walk is long but you get to take breaks for cafe con leche along the way, how amazing is that!!! i have to leave for work in an hour and need to do something that makes me happy... in this case i'm going to read a mystery novel. so how's the food otherwise, somehow that's always the most important part of a vacation. or a prolonged stay in your case. and when you're talking to your new sister or whomever, are you speaking in spanish??? love you and miss you and also it's true, you should get a map and just stare at it for a while until you can get some sense of where you are in relation to everything else. is it a pretty urban part of the city then that you're living in or more quiet? ok now i'm really going! write as much as you can when you can! love you, lllEHbKA
Hey Zaika
Now you got the entire family to start writing. And it's fun. Also, as papa already hinted, even when some of us don't write, we are definitely tuned in, and updated and looking forward to your next installation. And we are definitely vicariously in Spain, and your good writing makes this vicarious experiences almost real. So I just wanted you to know that we are all great fans of your prose.
I know i always laugh at papa who keeps asking, "what did you eat?" The truth is though, somehow it IS really interesting to know what you eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner or whatever meals they got. What do they eat? How do they serve it? When? Also, what does their house look like? What is your room like? Other rooms in the house? Decorations? How do you and they start your/their days? When? In short, it'd be very interesting to know more details about minor details of every day of your life, and everyday life in Granada. It will also make us feel closer to you.
Miss you so-o-o-o much!!!
hey i guess i should leave a comment for fear of being "the other sister" hehe. keep writing i love reading your posts! miss you! have fun! love you
