It’s after intensivo and I’m anxiously anticipating some yummy siesta lunch. I learned a new phrase I want to use: “Que bien huele” or “Huele bien” for “that smells good.” It’s something I always want to say, but didn’t have the Spanish words for. I have high hopes for today because we had THE BEST siesta lunch EVER yesterday. We started off with vegetable soup with a tomato base. Next was rotisserie style chicken (perfectly moist) with candied cooked apples. And then fruit and bread obvi. Allison and I napped after lunch and headed over to the JMU office for WAY too long. I need a break from that place. The internet connection sucks and there are always too many people there. We’re going to the train station before dinner.
I predicted dinner last night. I was craving a famous Asencion omelet and that’s exactly what we got. I impress myself sometimes. We each had our own salad, fruit, bread (which Allison refused this time…an arrow to Asencion’s heart, I think), cheese, and pate (NO, GRACIAS). She gave us this tomato sauce with roasted red peppers to put on our omelets, which was phenom. I’ve realized that if I’m not eating food, I’m probably thinking about it…or even writing about it. So sue me.
Last night I needed some American flavor and watched a few of the Seinfeld episodes I brought with me. Bliss. God Bless America! We have our radio program presentation tomorrow and a BIG exam on Friday in intensivo. I wish I didn´t actually have to do school here.
