So today was a pretty easy day. I woke up around 10 and had a wonderful breakfast waiting for me! I had toast with some jam and some oatmeal but only the milky part (strange but really good!). I was able to talk with maria while I ate so that was really nice. Then I took a shower and went for an hour walk just seeing what there was to see. There is one main street that I took and I saw many small shops and was able to say hola to a few people so I call that a success! I went to the supermercado but couldn´t understand the lady at the cash register. After some awkward staring she got the fact that I couldn´t understand and we both kind of laughed it off :)
When I got home I chatted with Augusto and we looked at my phrase book which he thougt was really cool. He explained some key phrases which was really helpful! Then Dani came home and as well as Maria and we ate lunch (lettuce, rice and pork) it was very delicious :) I like how they always have music playing in the house, the atmosphere is very chill. After that we picked up their grandma and did a little shopping. I tried to buy a sweater but I forgot that you need a copy of your passport to use a credit card so that wasn´t so successful :( But I think we will go back tomorrow and try again! Its funny because for some reason I always set off the alarms in the store so Dani says they can detect people from the U S :) There was a lot of laughing today from misunderstandings etc. I enjoy those moments the most :)
After shopping we went to a movie with a few of her frineds from school (We saw the happening ) It was in English with spanish subtitiles so taht was nice. We got popcorn (palomitas) and it was sweet insted of salty! An interesting variation and very tasty. AFter the movie we came to the house where one of the primas (cousins) of maria was and we chatted with her over once (tea time). She is also very nice and we understood eachohter pretty well. Now I am going to hang out and go to bed pretty soon :) I´m excited to be doing my first load of laundry! Yay for clean clothes. thats all for now!
