Hey everyone. So on Sunday I met my señora and her two daughters. It is just us living in the apartment. I have a little room with a window into the pantry. She is very nice, but when she gets really excited she talks really fast and I can´t understand her. Some things that I have noticed that are very different already is that their biggest meal is lunch and is eaten at 2:30. Everyone comes home for work and they eat it together. Then supper is not eaten together, but is eaten at 9 usually in the houses but if you go out it is not until 10 at the earliest. When they eat. You sit on sofas next to a table with a thick tablecloth. Under the table is a space heater. I love it, but the rest of the house is freezing!! The TV is usually always on when they eat. When we walk to school at 9:45 the stores are starting to open for the day. Another thing that Ilove is a thing called tapas. They are everywhere. I usually go to the tapas places to use the free internet. It is cheaper to buy a drink then to buy time in an internet cafe.
We had our first classes yesterday. On Monday we took a test to see for the next two weeks what Spanish review classes we were going to be in. The classes are pretty good. Nothing special. We have been on two tours of Granada now (all in Spanish). During class yesterday, we watched Obama´s inauguration. I think that there is just as much coverage of the US in Spain as there is in the US.

Hi Brittney, How is your week going? Hope you are staying warm. It is cold here again today. 18 and very windy. Just a couple of questions after reading your last entry. How old is your senora and the daughters? How far are you from your classes? You are taking them aren't you? Do you come home for lunch at 2:30 also? You told me it was going to be warmer in Spain, how come the house is frezing? Hope you are doing well, and will be anxious to hear more from you! Priscilla
