No Habla Espanol?

So today was my second day here in Alcala and can I just say that this city is absolutely beautiful!! I promise to post pictures soon but i'm just to lazy to do it everyday....and to be honest it's kinda difficult adding pictures to this blog. There are storks everywhere! They have huge nests on top of buildings and they just chill out. it's crazy cool. A little group of us already got kissy noises made at us today. we were told this would happen...and of course i just gave them a dirty look and kept walking (i trust no one here). One of girls in my group started laughing and said dang you're way good at that. HA! i'm not sure if that's a good thing but i'm taking it as a compliment :)

Anyways, we didn't have to meet with out group till 3 so Chelsey and I slept...for 14 hours. No joke. Anyone who knows me knows how amazing that is for me...it's a freaking miracle! Our host mom came in at 1 saying Arriba! we almost died laughing. We then left on our journey to find the place where we were suppose to meet our group and didn't get lost :) that's one thing I am good at. Already I can find my way around Alcala...i'm pretty proud of it. We then took a tour of Alcala....the whole thing was in Spanish...didn't understand a word. I'm completely overwhelmed by the fact that I can't understand a word anyone is saying and that I can't communicate. I asked our leader today why they ever let me come. So hopefully it will get better.

Ana Maria (our host mom) is way nice. I'm pretty sure she hates me cause i can't talk to her or anything, but she has been way helpful. I was trying to tell her i loved sports...i told her i love her...yep that happened. Again, thank goodness for Chelsey. She makes us these HUGE meals! I seriously would be completely content eating only lunch everyday because she gives us enough for 3 meals. It's all been way good though. Today we have this creamy, almost egg drop like soup, in the biggest bowl ever...Then this like waffle bread thing with chicken...sooo good but soooo big! and then yogurt. That was just lunch. For dinner she made us hamburgers and fries ahah with green olives. oh and we have an orange with every meal. i've been told they find it offensive if you don't eat everything...so i eat all of it! and i feel like i'm going to barf after every meal. Again, anyone that knows me knows that i rarely finish meals...even if i love what i'm eating! it's going to be interesting.

Oscar (the 5 year old grandson) loves me! He told Ana Maria today that he wanted me to be his girlfriend :) so naturally, when he asked if I had a boyfriend, I answered No and he asked me to be his girlfriend! hahah so i'm officially off the market and only after my first day :) he's just the most adorable child in the world.

Tomorrow we get to go into Madrid! I'm very excited! Pictures to come!

till next time
