I've been having a great weekend so far, spending a lot of time with my host family. Yesterday Eva took me out to a really sweet dinner to try Gallego food (from the region of Galicia) because she knows how much I love padron peppers. Unfortunately it is not the season for them to be spicy, but we still had a great time chatting over some mild ones and some delicious pulpo (octopus) and cañas (beers). It's great that one-on-one time with her is so fun too. Then today I spent the day shopping in the city center with her and Rebeca. We went to this market called El Mercado de San Miguel which is this incredible indoor food market with gourmet food stands: one exclusively for cheese, another for meat, another for fish, another for croquetas...

Pretty café con leche!

The most amazing olive stand to ever exist
Tomorrow I'm going over to my friend's house so her host mom and host mom's friend can teach us how to make paella. And then I guess I should do homework at some point too...
Also, here are some pictures of my room I've been meaning to put up so you can get a better idea of where I live:
I should really take photos of the kitchen because that's where I end up spending all my time with them anyway.
Off to dinner.
