Living in a city, I mean. The family lives in a flat on the third floor in a large building. The only open area near them for the kids to play in is dry dirt filled with big rocks. There are a couple of parks but no grass: the kids play in very rough sand. The mom had netting out up outside all of the windows just in case one of the kids would ever try to climb out. What I'm getting at is that I love mahomet! How awesome is I that I grew up with a huge yard filled with grass and an enormous play set my dad built. Sometimes here I feel like a caged hamster because rarely do I go out of the apartment more than once a day: nor do the kids. The thing is though, even the houses here aren't that much better. They are very close together, more comparable to condos. And still no grass to be seen. I miss grass. Ive found I'm not a fan of Places that I can't walk around barefoot in. People in Spain don't even walk barefoot in their houses. Just because im not a fan of the living arrangements doesn't mean I am not enjoying it though! The kids are starting to respond to me in English which is awesome! And my Spanish is improving a little.
I am stoked for this weekend because Bethany is coming on Friday and Saturday we are going to Toledo and Sunday we are seeing more of Madrid. It will go by so fast! I hope to have all the reservations done for my dad and i's trip by then and am well on my way! Today Mercedes is teaching me how to make a russian salad. It's bunny-less so I think I'll like it :)
