We arrived in Spain yesterday and spent time getting to know our host family. We experienced a lot on our first day. We rode bikes to the local grocery store and helped Andrea (one of the daughters) pick up some things for lunch. Our first lunch was wonderful; we had sushi, a salad, stuff mushrooms and some sort of quiche dish. After lunch we headed over to a Cafeteria where we watched Germany win their match. Carmen (the host mom) treated us to a Limon & Nada (lemon & nothing). When the game ended the Cafeteria quickly emptied out and it was just us. We left soon after and headed to the community pool. It was nice to lay out and relax in the shade.
After we finished up at the pool we headed back home and got ready to go out to another Cafeteria. We went to a place called Pantagruel where we watched Spain play. We also enjoyed some dinner and drinks.
I also experienced Spanish coffee for the first time. Carmen ordered it "American" for me but it was still quite strong compared to the coffee I am used to in the states.
We enjoyed our first day in Spain and look forward to all that we are going to experience during our time here.

When you get back you'll have to have coffee at Caffe Santoro, and not have it "American"
