Grocery shopping

So to go a non expensive grocery store, we have to walk a little... Today we went to a place called Día. To get there we have to go through Plaza Mayor. It is just like a big square. Those are all people's homes. But they are really small and like studios and cost around 1 million for each.

 This is a picture out of one of the exits..

And this their version of bacon pizza.

And delicious pizza 

Today... My roommate and I (who both do not know how to cook well) decided to try and make a very Spanish traditional dish called a tortilla. It's nothing like what we think a tortilla. It's kinda like a quiche. But with potatoes. 

This was ours...

This is what it's supposed to look like...

Lol

Here are my roommates. Sultan, Thayse, and Luke. We love each other haha. We all went out together last night, it was fun and we didn't get back until 6 in the morning. 😳

You can buy these little things anywhere. With a straw like with those Capri sun drinks we would drink as kids.

So I realized I've taken all these pictures of the royal palace because I go by it everyday and new realized the church like attached to it... Well I think it's a church.

And today we were really missing some good American food so we went to Friday's haha 

And these are two of my roommates 

Taste of America

My roommate and I wanted to bake cookies and here they just don't do that... You can't find cookie dough or even all the ingredients to make homemade ones. We can't even find box cake mix either. So we found this little store called Taste of America! It has everything that you don't appreciate until it's gone lol. However, it was sooo expensive. A pack of wrigleys gum was 3€. We found our book cakes and cookie dough mix but they were 6€ a piece! They had my favorite oatmeal too! Too bad is was 10€. Oh and Spaniards hate peanut butter so it's impossible to find as well unless you want to pay some high prices.

But at the regular grocery stores you can find some amazing ice cream... Better than any of our ice cream. 

This is one of the classes. I forgot to take one of mine but I had to sit in for one of the others so I took a pic of his class. The bald guy is my teacher. 

It's hard to tell but it finally rained the other day... And was really cold and gross out.

The Starbucks here have way better options!!

And just a photo when I got lost.

I found a new place today!

Unfortunately I have no pictures of it yet... But I do live with a Spanish fireman and an Italian man... 

But today my teacher told me instead of taking the metro I can take an actual train to my stop and it is sooooo much quicker! And it was less crowded, so much easier.

And then... Coming home from school I saw midget smurfs.... Usually in sol you always see characters dressed up like Elmo, minions, Mickey, but not midget smurfs. However, I did see someone dressed as chucks holding a fake knife. 

There's also a lot of entertainers a lot. Like the people we see in key west that stay really really still and move ever so often. There is a lot of those but much more advanced. I'll have to get a picture of them. Tonight however, right in front of my door Michael Jackson came back from the dead.

Pictures from home

Did someone say puppy treat?

The grocery store.

What grocery store has escalators like this?

But this was my receipt 

A day of travel

Dad and I have been out and about today -  drove to Ft Lauderdale and back, stopping at Hampton Meadows Farm in West Palm Beach.   I took a picture of this particular horse because he came from Spain!  Sorry, I can't pronounce his name - lol!

My runs

I finished my first week of school. It's pretty time consuming but today was fun because I taught a class about going to the Florida and they all loved it!

But I've finally found some time to go running and there are just so many places to go! 

I usually start at the palace because it's right by my place. 

You can kind of seen the mountains in te background.

The sidewalks.

Snow in Florida!

Alana leaves for colder weather and it starts to snow here in Florida!

Nothing too exciting today. I had my first teaching class which went okay I was just really nervous. I went for a run today around the royal palace and found a small river!

And then I found a polce horse trailer! 

Today was nothing exciting for me, however, it was three kings here which is like their christmas so everything was closed until around 8 ish and then everything opened back up. And tonight and tomorrow is big big sales. Like black friday. I met up with Marta's family tonight and walked around the center. We went to this popular market where you can find anything fresh. Its called mercado de san miguel.

Rearragning my pictures is too time consuming so they are a little out of order. But the christmas tree things that are all lit up around the city, I finally found one you can walk into.

Here are the prostitutes. Just out and about ready for some fun. They just chill there for hours.

 

 This is Marta's parents and cousin.

                                           This is some fish and how they skin it.

 And this is some nasty looking type if fish......

 Lots and lots of cheese.

 And always lots of ham and it all hangs on the wall.
