I can't complain. My host mom prepares every meal: desayuno, almuerzo y cena; When it's time to eat, the table is already set and the food is in front of me. Having been in college for almost three years now, it's nice to not have to cook and clean for myself. She even prepares us "bocadillos" or lunches for when we go on trips. It's so cute. My mom at home never even made my lunch as a kid. I always prepared it myself. I kind of feel like a little kid when Mama Pepa sends us off with a bocadillo and asks us how lunch and our day was.
I will complain, however, about how much I miss food in America. I miss all the unhealthy fast food restaurants like Chik-fil-A, Chipotle...pretty much everything in the states that I don't have here. I miss bacon and pancakes and eggs in the morning. Sushi isn't very accessible here. Neither is Chinese/Vietnamese/ any Asian food. Just thinking about it makes me drool. They have Mcdonalds here. I've also spotted a Burger King. I think that's the best of American food I am going to get. I think I'm going to try it soon and see if it tastes like really American grease. I've learned a lot of foods that you think are universal actually can taste quite different here in Spain. I tried Coca-cola the first night here and it was nothing like the real thing.
I have yet to try a real "Spanish" dish, but I will update you when I do. Until then, hasta luego. I'm off to bed. I came home at 5 yesterday from going to a discoteca. The Spanish like to party. More deets on that later.
