Sunday Cafe Days

So I do apologize because I am a bit behind a bit, but I will try to catch you all up this weekend!

The day after Burgos was a Sunday (October 4), and it might take me awhile to get used to almost everything being closed on Sundays. Luckily, we found a cafe that is open, and also has wee-fee (I'm in the habit of calling it "wee-fee" instead of "wi-fi," since that's how Spaniards pronounce it).

Anyway so Sundays have become homework days, and as the day went on, more and more of us collected at this cafe called Toledo, which is right next to the Plaza de Santa Cruz near our school. I am slowly becoming addicted to cafe con leche, but today tried the Spanish version of hot chocolate. It looks like chocolate pudding, but it is warm, and the tradition is to dip churros in it. Sooo delicious.

Oh but you might enjoy this story about lunch... so I always go home for meals, and today I was looking forward to it because Maria told us she was making Paella. I loved the Paella I tried in Madrid, so I was really excited to have home-made Paella. Well, turns out it was Paella with a variety of shellfish. For those of you who don't know, I don't eat shellfish. So I thought, okay, I can eat around the fish, and just eat the rice, but when Maria served it, I realized that the shrimp, or prawns, still had their eyes, and they were staring at me as I was eating O_0

So I couldn't do it. I felt bad that I didn't eat the food after she spent so much time preparing it, but I just didn't have the stomach for it.

But dinner was delicious! We had what tasted like chicken noodle soup... I hope she makes it all through the winter :)

Oh and we're for sure going to Malaga for the weekend! I bought my very expensive train tickets, but Natalie's family is being so generous and renting us our own apartment for the weekend. As long as I remember my bathing suit, I'll be set!
