I moved, and I'm now living in an apartment with a señora who cooks me 3 meals a day and cleans my room, which is extremely convenient, although there are a lot of interesting moments when we don't really know what's going on. I also don't have internet at home, which means that I carry my computer with me every where during the week, so I can check e-mail and do homework when I have a free moment. My señora is very nice, and makes us talk to her and corrects our grammar, which are all good things. She also has 10 children, at least 4 of which live in Salamanca, and one comes over for lunch nearly every day, and 15 grandchildren. One of her grandkids lives in the same apartment building as us, and is over every weekday from sometime in the afternoon until 8. The food has also been excellent. Every dinner, we have a plate of soup and a plate of either fish, eggs, or vegetables for me. Lunch is a little more varied, with 2 plates and fruit every day. Our apartment is huge, and it's actually 2 apartments converted into 1. My housemate (who is really nice) and I have our own half of the apartment with our own door and bathroom, which is highly convenient.
Here are some pictures:
This is our door. We live on the 9th floor of the apartment (in American floor numbers)
The hallway if you come in the door and turn left. The dinning room is to the right.
The kitchen with...
larvikite counter tops :)
If you go to the end of the hall and turn left, here's my room.
And my housemate's room
and to the left of my housemate's room is our bathroom
When you enter my room the first this you see is the desk.
Then there's a storage closet that's full of kid's toys, and the balcony.
The balcony looks over a really narrow courtyard.
My bed is next to the heater (which is only on from 12pm to 12am). There is also a secret room between my housemate's room and mine. There's a window we can see from the balcony and we hear people in this room, but we can't get to it, and there's a wall on the other side. Very mysterious.
and the closet
and the shelves with my birthday cards
and my birthday cards.
my plant
and my books. I felt like it would be interesting to compare them to my books from the beginning of last semester.
That's the grand tour.

Nice apartment. You are such a rock geek.
Love,
mom
Can you go out on the balcony? Looks really neat. Are you going to show us pictures of your host family? Love Grandma L
I hope you don't get use to it. The cleaning that is (and the cooking) because you know that is not going to happen when you come home.

Is there really a room? I don't see how that could work. How do people get in? Could it be part of the apartment dowstairs? Thats really weird. You should ask your senora about it.
Katie
you didn't tell me about the secret room when i was there....
