El Super!

On Monday was my first official day of work. Julian doesn't leave for work until about 1pm so I was able to sleep in as late as I wanted to. I woke up at about 10:30, dressed and went downstairs to have breakfast. I made myself some hot colacao and that sufficed.
          Then, I played with Cayetana for a while.  She has a little cart that's called a carillo (car-ee-yo). I sat her inside it and rolled all around her princess playroom. Since I've been here I hadn't heard her laugh as much as she was when I was carting her around in her carillo. She especially liked it when I went really quickly from the hard floor, over the carpet and pretend like I'm about to crash her into the wall. That threw her into the cutest little fits of laughter. Like one of those youtube videos you get when searching "babies laughing." The chuckle of a baby is one of the best noises in the world! Next to Justin Timberlake's falsetto. Just Kidding... Sort of.
           Anyway, after we had had enough of carts and giggles, Julian showed me where her stroller was so I took her for a walk up and down the street. I'm almost positive that we only have 2 neighbors on our street. And they each live about 3 or 4 houses down in opposite directions. And one just moved in like, this week. So, it was a very quiet walk. Cayetana fell asleep after about 15 minutes, but when I went to transport her inside, alas, she woke up. Which is really sad because she wouldn't go back to sleep and I was afraid that she would start yelling some more, which she did. But only a little because I put her in her cart to keep her distracted. It worked.
              Then, her mom came home about a half an hour after our walk and she fed Cayetana. We ate really yummy spaghetti with tuna in it. Which, normally, at the mention of tuna in spaghetti I would turn my nose up, but in Spain, I taste everything and I enjoy pretty much all of it. That's an understatement. I LOVE the food. In fact, I feel like this will be more of a food blog than anything else.

             Afterward, we went downstairs and watched TV a little, but mostly I just played with Caye while Mayra was on the ordenador aka computer. While we were playing I was helping Cayetana walk and I was wearing a necklace (My gold sand-dollar-esque one.) And she was so intrigued by it that she didn't realize I had taken away my hands and she took a step without any help! Her mom was so happy. She told everyone we saw that day and the next day all about it.
            Not long after Caye's walking lessons, we went out to the Supermercado. It was a little different than the ones we have in the US because the sold clothes there, as well as food. Kind of like Costco. But minus the bulk. And minus the free samples.

           We went over to the meat section and I saw a ton of giant, freaking, giant pig legs hanging on a wall. Hoofs and all! EW! While we were waiting in line to buy meat she asked me if I have pajamas because I don't wear them like her family. So, she then took me over to the pajama section and chose a pair of Daisy Duck pj's. And then found slippers to match.
              Did I already mention their obsession with pajamas and all things Disney? Obsessed is an understatement.
               After we went home and Mayra put Cayetana to bed we sat downstairs and watched TV and looked at magazines. I've always wanted to get a Spanish vogue! But it was actually Elle. Anyway, I read an article about Justin Timberlake and it quoted him, in Spanish, and my first thought was, "I didn't know he knows Spanish." And that's when I realized it was probably just translated. Duh.
               I honestly don't remember what we ate for dinner that night, I just know whatever it was, it was really good. And for dessert we ate flan. We have little puddings in cups that you keep in the fridge in the US; well, they have little flans that you can buy. There are so many different flavors: Chocolate, cheese (like cream cheese I think) honey, etc.... I ate a chocolate one; it was so good because the weird liquidy stuff at the bottom was chocolate so it wasn't so weird.
              Then, I went upstairs, with every intention of going to bed. Although, I ended up online talking to people and then I just couldn't sleep. I blame it on the lag. So, I slept for a total of three hours and decided it was better to just stay awake rather than try to sleep anymore. I only had the one day of random jet-lag relapse and since, my sleep schedule has resumed to being normal.

   More photos to come... I'll try to get better at taking pics!
