Primera vez

Miércoles was a day of firsts: my first paella, my first time eating prawns (complete with little ojos), first time sending mail, and I met my first two spanish friends today! Ana, our host mom was kind enough to invite over Paco's nephew, Carlos, for lunch, who later brought over his friend, Carlos, and we tapeamos y tomamos (ate tapas and drank).

It was so nice finally being surrounded by a young spanish conversation, and they are soo nice and funny!

Also, ayer was a little bit of a celebration because I got into the right level program - Estudios Hispánicos. =)

Y ahora, a picture with no relation whatsoever to my little blurb:

A possibly stray dog drinking from a fountain - there are dogs without collars and leashes all over the place, but people seem to pet and play with them anyway...not to mention all of the wild kitties who live next to the river!!!! So cute!
