Ok... there have been some suggestions that I talk a little bit about the food. First of all, Spaniards don't eat nearly as much as Americans. The portions are much smaller, and the food, by all appearances, is less greasy and fairly balanced. For example, the typical dinner in the dining hall consists of a soup or salad, some meat entree (like pork chops, hamburgers, sausage, fish, etc), and dessert (fruit or yogurt, sometimes flan). Lunch is similar, although generally heavier. At breakfast we have cups of cereal, fresh squeezed orange juice (squeezed by yours truly), and chocolate milk. Bread is served at every meal, and the only thing to drink is water. It sounds bad, but you really start feeling good about it... it's so much healthier. The eating schedule is also much more stretched out than in America. Breakfast around 9am, lunch around 2pm, and dinner 9pm. This is another thing you have to get used to... I'm always hungry at every meal... I tell myself that's a good thing. A general note on the Spanish diet, however, is how much meat these people eat. Lots of sausage, beef, and pork, though less chicken. It's pretty great. One other great Spanish food, tortillas de cualquier tipo (espanolas, francesas, de patatas, etc.). It's basically a potato omellete, with cheese, sometimes ham or mushrooms. They're awesome. You can also eat it as a sandwich, which is really good. Enough for now, time to sleep. Buenas noches
