Hola, Today has been a good day! :) Primero, encontramos a la UCEL where we had orientation! They gave us coffee and pan... but no one really ate any. I wonder if that is an united states thing or not so much... by thing I mean to not eat what ever someone gives you. Part of me thinks it is..i always think, when someone gives me something that I "sholdn't eat it?" I dont know...

But speaking of how things are differnet... their dinners are MUY DIFERENTE!! First off they eat at 10PM!! Thats crazy... not to mention not very healthy.

They dont drink milk... mucho cola - COKE! y cervesa (beer) haha!!

They reachover eachother at the dinner table... Joel would HATE IT!! :)

Last night Danio got a call on his cell and he took it.

They "move" around a lot... like get up and get things and leave and come back... just things like that.

Maybe it is not REAlly weird, but I guess I kind of saw my family's manners as somewhat strict and thought they would be more strict here... :)

Tonight we ate empandas!! They were DELICIOUS!! Dad would have LOVED them because they had lots of onions!! :) Norma made some with tuna too so I didn't have to eat meat today... it was very nice of her.

I spent a LONG time talking to Edgardo about soccer and where we lived. He was very gracious and drew me a map of our block to show me where we lived and what streets we were around. It really helped ALOT!! :)
