Third Day

Ok so I know it hasn't even been a day yet since my last post, but what can I say, I'm desperate to speak English! I've learned a lot of Spanish in the past three days to the point where I can understand everything they are saying if they slow it down a tiny bit. Like I said before, my host family is amazing! They are going to take me to the supermarket today so that I can get any kind of american cereal that I want! Cristina and Pachi know everyone in Burgos, and everyone knows them, so my dad jokes that they are part of the mafia, and I wouldn't be surprised if that turned out to be true. Everyday Cristina plans out the meals for the next day, so already I know that for lunch we are having fish. I've already tried, lomo (some kind of ham but it tastes better than sausage), brie (I don't know how to spell that but it's a soft cheese), sheep cheese, goat cheese, and a lot more delicious things! My room is really big and has its own bathroom. They only problem is that it's on the fourth floor so it's a bit hot and I have to climb a hundred stairs. The rest of the house is beautiful, filled with things from around the world. It feels a lot like my grandma's house. They have three elephant tusks and a whole display case filled with stuff made from ivory.

Right now I'm at my parents flat because my family is either studying at the library or at work, but I'll go home for siesta. This flat is amazing and all furnished and new! Alvaro and his friend drove me here and in the car we listened to Halo, which I've listened to three times since I've been here, I guess they really like that song. I can't wait for tonight because Miguel is bringing over his friends that are my age and one of them is William!
