Hola!
Being away from home can be quite tough. Trying to figure out how to live in a new society equally hard. That is why, I guess, it is easy to find something that you like somewhat and stick to it. As everything is so new, anything that is good or similar to something you know is brilliant. So Sol and I went to the Mexican restaurant we went to the first night here again yesterday. The food was all right and at least it is a restaurant. And again we were the first guests there. Apparently it is too early to eat at nine o’clock at night…
Today we went to say yes to the apartment from yesterday. Now the woman working in the agency is going to draw up a contract and then we will probably sign it tomorrow. We went to look at another apartment as well, with another agency and guy working there who was close to impossible to understand, a cheaper one. That apartment was as Sol put it a “cockroach-home”. Dirty (it looked as if no one had cleaned at all in years) and disgusting. Good it was daylight, ‘cause otherwise the little roaches would for sure show their face.
We also started to investigate the different shops on the shopping street. Zara, Mango, el Corte Inglés… Lets just say that our bags probably won’t be getting lighter during our stay here…
For lunch we found a salad in a bread-place similar to Subway and for dinner we made some food of our own in our room in the hostel – baguette with salmon, mozzarella and cherry tomatoes. It was brilliant! Possibly the best meal since we arrived in this country. We are so longing for our own kitchen and the possibility to make food at home. It’s the little things…
On Sunday we’re hopefully going to our first football game at the José Zorilla stadium here in Valladolid. If we can find the stadium. We’re going to go and talk to the guys in the Real Valladolid fan shop just down the street. Hopefully they will be helpful.
Right now we’re watching ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ in Spanish. It’s completely ‘loco’ that they dub all TV! Well, well…
