Day 1 1/2

          So it’s now midnight thirty and I am sitting here with Jenna in our room eating tapas. I asked the lady working here where a store was and she explained (or I gathered) that it was just on the street behind us. So we went out to the store and the first thing I see is a cop! They have a stationed police officer in the store! Although… it was 12:00 at night haha. So the 2nd thing I noticed when I went in the store was a rack of magazines… some of you already know where this is going. As I looked over most of the magazines were regular but I noticed one magazine that stood out because it was a little more peach than the others. At first I looked but didn’t notice anything different. Then I did a double take when I thought I saw a naked girl, and as I looked again, there she was on the front of a magazine with nothing hidden at all. Woh! Not what I expected to see at the Spanish equivalent of a 7-11. Anyway, we continue on and start looking for something to eat for dinner. All the sudden we remember our first meal with Maribell (our teacher for Spanish culture in the US) and we look at each other and say “Tapas”! Those of you who don’t know what tapas are, they are (to us) a slice of bread with either shredded tomato or in our case tomato sauce, a slice or two of a thinly sliced cured meat, and a piece of cheese. YUM! So we found everything we needed (Jenna found some Magnum ice cream bars) and checked out. 
          We got back to our apartment and started eating. I got my favorite cheese, cheddar, so I was so very excited to start eating it. As I opened it and pulled a piece off of one of the slices, I instantly knew something was wrong… It felt like those craft cheese slices… I was worried immediately... As I put it in my mouth and chewed, I was so disappointed… it was the craft cheese…  GAH! Oh well, the meat and sauce I got were FANTASTIC so they made up for it. So a few minutes later, Jenna decides to turn on the 19’’ widescreen TV haha. Europe is different than the US. Some of you can see where this is going. It’s now about 12:45 am and she starts flipping through channels. After a few, 5 or so, they start turning to some clothes-less and… private….channels. Yes they have porn on regular TV, and not just one channel. They have, as far as we found, four or five. All different. So after jenna found the Spanish equivalent of big brother, we have been watching that and eating magnum ice cream. Delicioso! So now I am writing this at 1:45 am and having a great time =]
Until Next time!              
Hasta Luego

P.S. Those of you who are observant will notice that it took me about an hour to type this, it’s because of the crappy internet connection and the eating ; ]

  3. Thanks for the comments guys! Yea I will be sending any recipes, but I am not in a place where I am able to actually cook, so I am only able to get food that is pre-cooked or not needing to be cooked.
    Hannah, No the bread is literally ripped off of the loaf (or cut if you can) and then you pour some tomato sauce on it, then top it with choice of toppings =]I am expecting to see people on the beach... why is it always the people who shouldn't be naked are the ones who are? ANYWAY =]
    Have a good one guys!

  4. No longer a young man.... after your experience in Europe you will be full grown! Ha ha ha. You will find out just how prudish our christian based country really is.

    Just thought you might like to know I made potatoes and omlettes for brea'ky today. Much like the last one I made for you. MMMM Enjoy the food, culture and people. Make friends like nobody's business and see as much as you can. (just not the inside of a jailhouse - lol)

    Love you greatly! Mom

  5. Denver,
    Aw yes, Pornography is abundant in Europe! :)
    I remember when in Europe I saw a show about a nudist colony! It was all in German but that didn't matter. Interestingly I was alone in the hotel room and only 13! Hehe it was all new to me. Check out a newspaper. I bet it'll contain porn or at the very least nudity. ;)
    KRAFT CHEESE IS GROSS. Nuff said.
    BTW, you haven't mentioned any jet lag. How is that possible?? :)
    There's like a 13 hour difference. Seriously. I'm about to got o bed and you're probably already up. Crazy go nuts!
    Cheers,
