April 25th - April 26th: Day Eighty Three

So, you'll never guess what Blanca made as part of lunch today: orejas de cerdo! Thank goodness Shannon got them during our trip to Valencia, otherwise I wouldn't have had any prior warning. I lied and told Blanca that I had tried them already. I feel a little bad about that, but I saved myself further embarrassment of gagging and possibly puking. Plus, I couldn't get over the smell (the ones you buy for your dog actually smell better)!

The first day back to school wasn't too bad. I'm slowly getting back into the swing of things. We have a short week this week and we have off again next Monday so I have another 'break'. It's not going to stop me from studying though. I rewrote some notes today and I'm going to sit and practice a little tomorrow again. Possibly watch some more Bob Esponja (Sponge Bob) if I can find it. If not, I still have the Lion King and the other movies Blanca gave me.

I put the pictures from Valencia on facebook, but didn't even try putting any on here. I'm just not going to bother with it. I have a little over four weeks and then everyone will be able to see all of the pictures!

Well, time for bed!
XOXO,
Carol

  1. OMG...you are too funny with the pig ear thing...in my mind I can see you standing over a pig at the fair this year , knawing on it's ear and the pig just squealing at the top of it's lungs...or Chessa trying to eat a pig ear for a treat and you chewing on one end and her chewing on the other...I am glad you don't like them because this will save us all some embarrassing moments...the last time Bob and I were at the butcher shop, there was this family there buying ox tails and beef hooves (sliced...like it makes a big difference)...I think I would eat the pig ears instead of the hoof thing...now that is gross! I told him it would be like boiling fingernails and eating them...he told me to tell you if you want to try it we will have Seth cut them up and he will cook them for you when you get home (we will be eating steak while you are trying your newest delicacy)...hahaha...lol...I can't wait to act up with you again...I miss it...love you lots...(still laughing)....Momma
