buena semana : )

sooooo last week my parents came to visit me and arrived in Santiago Wednesday after a lil excursion of their own. it was fun. apparently we walked an awful lot but i have no concept of what a lot is anymore cuz on a typical day i walk a lot and besides i had softball and the hills and stairs of the LC to keep me occupied before the hills and cobblestone of Santiago. we went out for tapas a few times. thursday we went out for Kely's (friend from Brazil) last night in Santiago and chatted in Spanish with some English so that all could understand. i had a blast.

friday, my american family met my spanish familia and mi mama espanola cooked up a grand meal with a bunch of typical dishes (which i love!) that means tortilla espanola, croquetas, empanada, carne con patatas, pan (porque "yo como pan como un gallego" so i'm told) y i think i'm missing one but that's all in my spanish journal so no worries. but for POSTRE (because i can't spell that in english) she made my gallegon crepes con nata y strawberries mmm : ) que delicioso! i stuffed myself and still had room. i'm kinda used to it now. but my family , on the other hand, was struggling thru it haha. oh right, she also made chocolate flan mmmm Dad loved that! i've been eating it since they left. and you can just eat it and eat and eat it cuz its THAT good! and to think i'm not a flan person. (mabes that'll work with art...gonna be learning about arte in class ick but mabes after i see what we're learning about i might like it? nawwww but i'm sure the profe will make it interesting!) but yeah, the lunch (bigger than a american-sized dinner) passed well.
