Después de que el viaje ayer, yo fuera cansado muy. Dormí la mayor parte del día, bien hasta que acerca de 10:30 am. Yo me desperté y nadie estuvo en casa. Mi ralójese compañero tuvo otro viaje (a Burgos) pienso y mi mamá de anfitrión fue fuera. Eso tendría ebeen bien, pero ella no dejó llave a la casa tan yo no podría salir. A diferencia de los Estados Unidos no hay el asidero de puerta ni cerradura por dentro de mi puerta, así que tuve que esperar hasta que ella volviera a salir para hacer los deberes. Quizá ellos no tienen los fuegos aquí, pero eso sería definitivamente un asunto de la seguridad y concerniría para mí. Ella entró alrededor de 1:00 y el almuerzo fijo de tallarines de espaguetis como nada estuvo equivocado.

I understand that Spainish dishes are different, and I am open minded about different cultures but for about 2 to 3 days I have not eaten any meat. Oh, I forgot about the hot dog last night. After lunch, I went to the internet place in the Plaza Mayor. That took forever it seemed. i had alot of information to rewrite since the computters here seem to be on the fritz. Later, on I went home and strated writing a friend back home a letter. Stamps here are so expensive (.78€) that´s like almost a dollar. The postage is the same regardless of postcard or envelope. I mailed about 7 items. Well at least they can´t say I was not thinking about them. I have some homework/research to do for class and presentations etc. so I must plan the stragedy to get most of it done soon. Today was a very hot day to me. All the stores here are closed even the markets, and they only are open about 8 hours a day. That is very different than the states. They stay open late to try to get all the money they can, and forget a siesta.

I went back home and sat in my room. When Iris cam home we had dinner of french fries and over easy eggs. WOW! We had to go out to eat something because that did not hit the spot. I just wanted to go out to get some fresh air. It was a quiet night. Another thing I noticed was the fact that the city workers pick up trash at night. I have heard them out at 1:00 in the morning. The streets are washed aand cleaning just about every night. I wonder how this is managed considering water is considered expensive. Well tomorrow offically starts week 2 of school and I must get ready. I have to work on my word placement.
