oh it's the little things... like peanut butter....

Well it’s safe to say that I didn’t have a voice yesterday. I guess I screamed a little, well a lot too much watching the World Cup on Sunday. This entire country is still wearing their red with pride. We watched the parade in Madrid on T.V last night. I look at Madrid, as “home” so it was sad to see the boys back on “my turf.” Not to mention, Spain’s Justin Timberlake—David Bisbal was there too!!!!!! Yesterday we would’ve done just about anything to be in Madrid! Seeing the team with such big smiles on their faces was priceless. So great to watch them through the entire World Cup! After a good nights rest we forced ourselves up this morning to go to school early for a meeting. It was a nice time to get some extra homework done! I even got to skype my momma for a couple of minutes before class, which was fantastic!

These are my new spanish pants...... hahaha... typical here

but wearing them at home may be a challenge.

After a very confusing Commercial Correspondence class we decided to go to the plaza for some well deserved ice cream. This class would be much easier to follow iin Spanish if I understood these concepts in English. Today’s lesson was really foreign to me (pun intended.) What I learned doesn’t even happen in the U.S…. haha SO this is going to take a little extra work to get it done. Anyways, on our way out we were talking with Dr. Jensen, who came to take Professor Workman’s place. She is a very chill teacher who has spent a lit of time in Spain, specifically in Salamanca. As she was telling us all these different places we need to visit before we leave everyone was starting to have a slight panic attack because we only have 13 days left! But this sweet lady told me the most incredible thing that I’ve heard in a long time. She said the words that were complete music to my years. She knows of a supermarket here that has PEANUT BUTTER! Yes, peanut butter. Peter pan, creamy and/or crunchy peanut butter. So, we sprinted. This market is only 30 seconds from our school and we are just now finding it. Peanut butter is one of the foods I’ve missed most and as far as we were concerned, non-existent here. Nope, it’s been right in front of us for 2 and a half weeks now! So, we bought our favorite Spanish cookies and some creamy peanut butter and indulged. Fabulous. : )
