Nutella!

Yes. My mom bought NUTELLAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!! It was a pretty awful, boring, rainy, cold, and monotonously hungry day at school. That was all changed when I came home to a jar of Nutella. My host mom also asked me if I like peanut butter, yes yes yes.

I finally figured out that my family does have a dryer. I also asked why most people don't, and my host mom said it's because it's always really sunny so it's easier just to hang clothes outside, but when it's raining it's nice to have a dryer. (some of my clothes mysteriously disappear to the laundry gnomes). I managed to ask for a broom yesterday to broom (they kindly taught me how to say sweep). I have yet to figure out if and where my family has a printer. Setmani was laughing at me today that I hadn't asked my family where their printer was. I know where the cereal, milk, orange juice, glasses, spoons, placemats, napkins and nutella are, oh and maybe where the bowls are.

Here are some things I love about Spain: My family is pretty awesome. My host sister's older brother and sister are really funny and really nice. My life has recently had a high point with the purchase of Nutella. They have better radio than in the US (which learned from taking a 5 hour car ride to Madrid). My room is adorable and a very pleasant shade of yellow. The weather has been great, except this week it is rainy and cold.

Here are some things I miss about Colorado: Lemonade! I live on lemonade, quite literally, and I haven't found any lemonade here. They have fanta limón, Nestea, and Aquarius, which are all distant yet inferior relatives of lemonade. Doing laundry, As surprising as it may sound I miss doing my own laundry. Tissue Boxes: I've only seen one tissue box, my entire time here. If there is one element of American culture that needs to diffuse here, I would say the commonness of kleenex boxes is at the top of the list. Piano and Marimba, enough said.

Adiós,
