Las tapas y karaoke y desayuno extrano

Some Spanish observations of worth:

1. Most of the bars in Granada have tapas served with any drink ordered. This is fantastic because tapas are plates of appetizer-like food that basically are free.

2. I had apple-flavored yogurt yesterday for breakfast and today I had pinapple-flavored yogurt. Es muy extrano, no? Neither yogurt really tasted like its flavor, but both had legitimate pieces of the fruit in it. Not as bad as you would think. And yesterday for lunch we had bread and cheese and I was SO HAPPY. Thank you padres for knowing me so well even though I cannot speak your language.

3. Yesterday, after walking around a neighborhood with some amigos, we all went to a street with tons of teterias (tea shops) and it was BEAUTIFUL. Tons of strange and colorful clothes and the tea shops are very ornately decorated. I had Earl Gray (of course) and also a crepe which was delicious. Basically all the streets in Granada are these winding, beautiful cobblestone roads which are filled with people and stores and the typical antiquey Spanish architecture that makes every house and building look like the cutest country cottage ever. Maybe one day I will fit in here and it will not be glaringly obvious that I am American.

Side note: The Spanish people actually think that exchange students are given North Faces when they enroll in their programs because every single person has one. Needless to say, I am very self-conscious of my red fleece (although it is from L.L. Bean, not North Face. See how European I am? haha)
