Things I Don’t Like:<\/B>
\nLet’s get this out of the way first, since it’s a shorter list.<\/p>\n
– My brain hurts. I can’t think.
\n– I slept 12 hours last night.
\n– I have spent the last 24 hours inside this building
\n– I’m not outside right now because of a huge lunch and I’m tired<\/p>\n
That was quick!<\/p>\n
Things I Do Like:<\/B><\/p>\n
– I’m going on a walk in a few minutes, once my lunch settles.
\n– Lunch was fantastic. Sra. Perea prepared a delicious yet simple salad, a paella-type dish (she refused to call it paella since it wasn’t cooked in a paella pan over an open flame yet all the ingredients were the same) and then a ton of fresh fruit for dessert. I’m stuffed.
\n– I have had a small glass of wine with two of my meals. This is the way that it should be.
\n– The olive oil is fantastic, as is to be expected in a olive-growing region.
\n– The air is incredible. There are no bugs coming through my open window. I saw one housefly earlier.
\n– The apartment is tall and thin, many levels, with windows (and terrace and porch) only on the front. The inside is white walls and tile floors, and it feels delightful.
\n– No one turns on the lights in the darker back part of the apartment unless completely necessary. This is how I like to live at home so I find it wonderful.
\n– My room is downstairs which is cooler. The house is quiet with no AC running since it’s cool enough to not have to leave it on. I don’t even know if they have AC, actually – maybe these vents are only for heat.
\n– No one in my new family is slowing down their Spanish, which is great. I feel lost constantly and don’t care. I could identify by name all of the ingredients in my lunch (all three courses) so that’s good, right? Right! Zanahoria! Lechuga! Pollo! Cerdo! Aceite (de aceituna)! Gamba! and so forth.
\n– It’s time to go outside.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
