I'm in Spain and I kind of miss my friends now. booooo me whatever I can miss people if I want. Its been really fun so far but you know its like you gotta make new friends and yada yada yada. Highlights from the trip so far have been seeing some girl walking a pig, eating ham almost everyday and way too much meat in general, making out with a boy from mexico city with braces, smoking pot and being called out on it by a deaf man at a bar much later, getting home two nights ago at the same time my host mother was leaving for work, watching big love in english, going to a drag queen bar/many bars that have just been full of drag queens, drinking mojitos everywhere, theres a bunch more but whatever. I'm realizing how incredibly american I am. I look sooooo american and talk to american and just really am american. It has never been as aparent to me as it is now. Out of most of my friends here I probably look the most American, i think it's mainly my hair that gives me away and maybe my 80s guess jeans, I noticed that when I wear them people always speak first in english to me. Anyways ta ta for now, I started a mini blog about spain mainly because I had to for school and so I didn't have to do email updates for my parents all the time. Its here www.esplendorenlayerba.blogspot.com . Although I don't really post anything too juicy there because my grandparents and extended family read it, oooofda. one last thing they kiss on both cheeks here and I'm actually enjoying it, the actual sound is more important than any kind of lip to cheek contact though.
