“I don’t understand you, but I love you”

Friday
-I was bored all day. Luckily my teacher friends stayed in town and I had people to hang out with in the evening.

Saturday
-I went to Villanueva, a town super close to here, with Pilar and her boyfriend Ramon to hit the outdoor market. It’s like a smaller version of the one I went to all the time in Sevilla. I got churros and they were delicious. However, they didn’t settle too well with me so as soon as we got back to Quintanar I headed home and took a nap.

Sunday
-I made lentejas for lunch. Carlos’s dad had taught me how to make them and I decided to attempt it and I succeeded. They were fantastic. For those of you who don’t know what it is, it’s a kind of soup thing with lentils, chorizo, tomato, onion, olive oil (every Spanish dish has olive oil), chicken broth, chile powder, carrot… and I think that’s it. But it’s super yummy and mine came out perfectly. So now I’m a little bit more Spanish :)
-After church my friend Kiko (Javi) came over to watch a movie, which makes him the first friend that came over to hang out and not just drop in for a minute.

Monday
-I feel like everyone around here knows everything that I do or everywhere I go. A woman that works in the school cafeteria asked me how my weekend was and specifically asked how my time was a certain place. I asked her how she knew I was there and she was like “my husband was there and told me.” I swear I’ve never met her husband… but apparently he knows who I am… I find it all hilarious.
-I met with Felipe for the first time in what felt like forever. I feel like every time we meet he has a hilarious, bizarre story to tell me. I love it. And he declared me officially Spanish. Wooo!

Tuesday
-I asked one of 3rd grade girls a question in English and she said to me in Spanish “I don’t understand you… But I love you.” Haha. It was adorable. I loved it. Hence it being the title.
-At Pilar’s we had hotdogs for dinner. And they were just like the American ones, unlike the ones I’d eaten in Sevilla. And for dessert… a brownie! Ah! Sooo gooood.
-This week the boys had me playing videogames. Something with cars and racing. They’re totally like having little brothers.
