My past couple of days have been perfect. I feel like I am really living the life an exchange student should. On Monday I went to a cafe with friends and talked for hours and then spent the rest of my day relaxing. On Tuesday I went to a cafe again and then did some shopping (mostly window shopping haha). Tuesday evening I got ready and then walked to Elle's bus stop. I met Elle and we did some grocery shopping and ran into our friend Dara. After the shopping, Elle and I caught the bus back to her suburb if Pamplona. When we got to her house we hung out and relaxed until it was time for us to start making dinner for her family. We made them Chili from scratch! It was so much fun. The best part was that her host family loved it. After dinner we watch The Princess and the Frog. I love this movie!! The music is great, the story line is great, everything is great! Elle loved it too.
We woke up this morning and took the bus back into Pamplona. Once I was back in town, I did some grocery shopping to make some more chili for my host family. After that I went to Movistar and finally bought a cell phone...okay two cell phones. Haha. It was two for one, so why not? An extra phone may come in handy. I covered them with different stickers as soon as I got home s I could distinguish them from each other. My last stop in town was at Zara. I had looked at the same dress three times in two days. I was just stopping by to see if it was there. It wasn't in it's original spot so I went to the dressing rooms to see if someone had tried it on and didn't want it. It's a good thing I did. It was there! The last one left in my size. I'm in love with this dress, so I bought it! It gorgeous!
Once I got home I ate lunch and took my siesta. After my nap I met Becca and then she came here to make Chocolate Chip Cookies. We were lacking brown sugar and flour so we ran to the nearest Eroski to get the rest of the ingredients. Once we had everything, we came back here and started making the cookies. Our first attempt was a failed attempt, but we learned. Haha. We just let them in the oven too long. The rest turned out great! Our favorite part was the cookie dough of course. Brandi never lets me eat it at home and it makes me so mad because it's the best. Becca let me have all that I wanted. After the cookie making, Becca and I headed towards the Plaza de Castillo for the Three Wise Men Parade. It was so much fun! Lots of floats and people in costumes and music and candy. It was so great. After the parade, Becca and I parted ways ad headed home. Once I was home I made the chili. For dinner we ate Three Kings Cake. Maite got the "bad" figure and Merche got the "good figure" in her cake. I didn't get anything! Haha. The cake was delicious. It was a pastry with some type of whipped cream substance. After our cake dinner I continued to watch and stir the chili. We're going to eat it for lunch tomorrow! I'm so excited. A little bit ago, Maite, Merche, and I put our shoes out in the living room with the chocolate chip cookies and the milk for the three kings to eat and then fill our shoes with presents! Before going to bed, Merche asked if I've been a good girl. Hahaha. I told her, "yes, of course!" So she told me that I should get some presents then! Hahaha. I love my host mommy.
I'm shocked that I'm tired at a decent hour. Maybe I'll actually go to bed before three am! Yay! I get open presents and celebrate this amazing new holiday tomorrow! i'm so excited. I absolutely love my life. I couldn't ask for more! Besos :)
