The Pig´s Foot

For the last three weeks I have been living with a lovely Spanish family while I´m going to the Spanish school just down the street from their house. Here are some things that I find interesting in their house.

This is in my kitchen. The foot is longer than the edge of the counter so the day I arrived at the house where I´m staying I went to get a glass of water and ran into the foot. The leg was covered with a towel so for  moment I had no idea what it was. Then I realized it was a foot.  The first week when I was frusterated with Spain and a little homesick I comforted myself with this thought : even if this all turns out horrible, it will all be worth it for having lived with a pig´s foot.

 

Umm...someone is going to have to tell me how to rotate pictures.....this is a painting that hangs in the hallway.

This painting hangs on the wall opposite my bed. I fall asleep to him staring at me every night. Each morning he is still staring at me.

Maybe its just me but I thought it was strange when they added coca cola to red wine. It´s really good, the wine is absolutely amazing. It´s called calimocho .....or something like that, thats what it sounds like to me. Everytime they serve it to me they talk about how it will make me really sleepy and I´ll have to have a siesta when the meal is finished.

How about another one, has anyone else ever put ice cream on their coffee? You can order it at McDonalds for one euro. I just wanted to buy a coffee so that I could use wi-fi. The cheapest coffee was "cafe y helado." I knew helado meant ice cream but I just thought maybe it also meant whipped cream. Nope. It just means ice cream. They serve it with a spoon and the coffee is cold. Although, if you don´t like it you could always buy a beer, still at McDonalds, for not much more.

OKay I have more pictures but I have to go! I´m going to a football game! Malaga vs. Sevilla!
