It's day three here in Malaga, and everything is well.
Last night after class (boring), we went back home, and Carmen made us dinner. We had beef, chicken, and vegetables. It was a very filling meal. For desert we ate strawberries with whipped cream. I drew a map of the United States, and we showed Carmen where we live on the map. We then explained some of the different US holidays. Easter was the most difficult to explain. We mistakingly mentioned the "Easter Bunny" in our description, which made her think that we ate rabbits on Easter!
After classes this morning (boring), I ate a ham sandwich and went to the local grocery store, SuperSol. I aimlessly wondered the entire store about 30 minutes. I enjoyed seeing all of the different brands and types of food for sale. Surprisingly, all of the food was much much cheaper than I expected. The food was lot cheaper than the US, even after factoring the exchange rate. Also, milk and eggs were NOT refrigerated. How odd. I purchased a little pastry from the store's bakery. It was shaped like an apple, and it had apples in it.
Instead of going to the beach, I walked around the neighborhood. There are a lot of interesting restaurants and stores nearby that I hope to explore soon. As much as I enjoyed the big city life of Madrid, I appreciate the laid-back atmosphere here because I can absorb a lot more of the culture and lifestyle. Spending a prolonged period of time in Malaga will enable me to feel what life is actually like here, instead of experiencing Spain simply as a tourist, traveling from sight to sight.
Hopefully, I will upload some pictures in the next few days, but right now, I need to read for my class (boring).

Guess what? that (boring) class work and studying is why you are there as well. So make me happy that my investment is paying off and you get engaged really quick. From your Boring "D"
Yes, I second that. School will only enrich your everyday life. It will open new channels of thought that will allow for your mind to wonder and contemplate the world around you. God bless and keep on chuggin!
But Father and Jason, I only give the people what they want to hear!
Upon completing extensive demographic and pyschographic research, I discovered that my readers consider class to be boring. Personally, I greatly enjoy class and cannot wait expand my knowledge; however, if I were to blog about all of the stimulation my mind has been receiving in class, I would surely alienate my target market, and, of course, I do not want to do that!
Thank God for your target market! Please give them our address so they know where to send the donations to support your trip abroad. Keep up the great work!
