my first food i didn't like

i tried to post on here yesterday, but i guess it didn't take.

my classes are going well. i actually switched my level of my grammar class to one that was a little harder. i had my first day today, and it went really well. my teacher is very cute. :)

yesterday i slept most of the day. i am starting to get a cold, and i want to get rid of it as fast as i can. after class i came home and slept.. had lunch. we had soup and some type of meat and. and fruit for dessert. i took a long nap after lunch and then went up to the plaza to have milkshakes with some of the girls. for dinner we had soup and fish.. it was really good and i ate all the fish (yay! go me!) and then it all went downhill. for dessert my senora showed us something that looked a lot like cottage cheese.. she asked us to try some to see if we liked it. i definitely did not. so i had a yogurt instead. but she took what appeared to be cottage cheese, mixed it in a glass of milk, and added some sugar. she said that it is common here and is very earthy. it was the first food i found that i didn't like.

after dinner i went out with the group to celebrate 4th of july. although there weren't any fireworks a couple bars were having parties to celebrate with all the american students. i didn't stay very long because i was sick and there were so many people. i felt like a sardine. it was really hot and you couldn't move.

it's pretty chilly here today. i wore jeans and a sweater to class and i was still cold. it's not so bad if you are in the sun, but most of the tall buildings give shade to all the streets. i definitely wasn't expecting colder weather.

after class today i stopped at a small shop to pick up a few things. lunch will be ready in about an hour. and i'm sure i will siesta afterwards. siestas are the best. tonight we have a professional guided tour around the city. it will definitely be very informative and i'm sure i will get lots of great pictures.

salamanca is very clean. every night workers pick up the trash from the day, sweep, and hose down the plaza mayor and the streets. they really take great care of their city. each day i love this city a little more and can definitely understand why some people keep coming back. it's absolutely wonderful.
