Mar 2nd - Mar 3rd: Day Twenty Nine

I ate eel today; I'm 95% sure of that. I can honestly say I don't know how I feel about it either. They were white on one side, gray on the other and about as thick as spaghetti. They weren't any longer than, maybe, two inches, three at the most. They also tasted like spaghetti without the sauce. When I asked Blanca what they were all I understood was when she said they were fish, so I knew it was some kind of sea creature. When I was finished eating I looked it up and eel was the only thing that seemed to fit. I have yet to decide if I plan on trying them again....

Beyond that, the day was simple. I believe Jenny is getting our plane tickets for Barcelona sometime today and booking the hostel. Gio has to work on packing/moving out, but we are probably going to go shopping Sunday and I might be doing something with one of the other girls from CEA later this weekend. She's feeling a little homesick so I offered to do something with her. I know exactly how she's feeling, too.

I've been pretty good with my homesickness too. I look at everyone talking about Spring Break and going home and I kind of wish I could do that too. Soon enough!

Well, I'm going to relax a little before bed!
XOXO,
Carol

  1. Wow...eel? I would never survive...I would need to eat with a blind fold on...lol! I understand how you feel about your homesickness but you are right...you will be home soon enough! Tomorrow it is 84 days (12 weeks) and you will be coming back home. We will need to talk about making plans when it gets closer, because EVERYBODY is going to want to see you. It's funny because I have been thinking about the weekend you are due to come back home...I was thinking of getting up early and going with Jess to pick strawberries for you and now Jess tells me tonight you asked her about making something for you with strawberries in it...is that weird or what? I got paid today so I plan on putting more money in your account for you...keep making plans! Has Gio found a place to live? Not sure if we are going to see Bill and Karen yet, Bob isn't feeling well and stayed home today and I guess they want rain all weekend...if we don't go, I will have Nate set something up with you online...I want to see my little spanish girl...love you lots...Momma!
