This is going to be a short post because not a whole lot has happened lately....
On Tuesday, I went to the hardware store with Julian. Then, he dropped us (Caye and me) off at Mayra's work. She was already basically done working so her sister, Arancha came and the three of us, and Cayetana went to a store called Mango. It had incredible clothes and shoes. Good thing I'm already broke! Anyway, we went back home and Caye took a nap, so I watched TV with Mayra. We talked about celebrities mostly. She doesn't like Penelope Cruz OR Shakira. I like both of them...
She also told me that she was born in Barcelona! And her favorite soccer team is Barcelona, which is also mine. And I also learned that Shakira is dating Pique' from Barca. (He's a very attractive soccer player. If you don't know him then you would be wise to google him). Anyway, Tuesday was rather uneventful. I can't actually think of anything else that happened.
Wednesday, Mayra didn't have work because it was some sort of military celebration day. I still don't know exactly what it was. But I could hear music playing in the streets not too far from our house. I took Caye for a walk around the neighborhood, whilst Mayra and her mother cooked Paella for lunch. When we returned from our walk, we ate. And it was sooooo good!
The only thing I didn't like about paella was the shrimp. They still had heads. And antennae. And eyes. I just pushed those aside. Other than that, it was really good! It was delicious rice seasoned with special paella stuff; truthfully, I don't know what it was. And it had random bits of meat in it, such as, small pieces of pork still on the bone, little clams, and some other seafood bits.
Mayra's parents ate with us and they asked me about English. Her dad said he wants to learn English so I should talk to him only in English. He also told me all the English he knows and asked how is pronunciation was. It was very typical Spanish-man-trying-to-speak-English, if you know what I mean.
Thursday, we went to el centro comercial; which is basically the Columbia Basin Mall with a grocery store in it. And without the movie theater.
There was a super cute store called Stradivarius. I really wish I was rich. And there was a really cute shoe store. I told Mayra that I left a lot of my shoes behind and that I love shoes. She told me not to worry because we where the same size. When we got home she showed me where she keeps all her shoes. OMG!! So many shoes!!!! So many. Her bed lifts up, and there are shoes! Her closet has more shoes and downstairs is another closet with, you guessed it, MORE shoes!!! I live in shoe-heaven!
I think it was later on Thursday that we went over to Arancha's house. I met her four children. Lola is the only girl and she is nine. Nacho is so cute and he's seven. Then Mateo, my favorite :), just turned 5. And the youngest is two and his name is Eneco (I'm not really sure if that's how to spell it.)
So that's my week in a nutshell! I could elaborate more, but I don't want to. Perhaps, I will later.
Besos! Adios!
