La comida

"Comida" means food and boy do they love it here! They do not just throw things together for a meal, it's thoroughly prepared and there's a lot of it! For breakfast I just have toast and coffee and juice. That's served whenever you wake up. El almuerzo, or lunch, is their biggest meal of the day and is usually served between 2 and 3 in the afternoon. They usually have 2 dishes of food, but my senora asked if I preferred 1 or 2 and I said 1 just because I am not nearly able to eat everything she serves me. I like it a lot and tell her that, but I just don't eat as much as they do. She can't believe how little I eat, but it feels like I'm eating so much! For lunch I've had beef lentil soup with rice, chicken lentil soup, and this seafood dish with rice. I tried shrimp for the first time and liked it! El cena, or dinner, is served wayyy later than I've ever eaten a meal before. I eat dinner around 9 at night. Last night I had a turkey sandwich with chips and yogurt. It was delicious and it was the first meal where I finished everything! I'm surprised how much I enjoy the food here. Oh, also, I had frozen yogurt here at this place right near the study center where I have class (very dangerous seeing as I will probably stop there every day!) I had it with nutella, strawberries and sprinkles. It was so delicious and tasted very fresh and more like yogurt than ice cream like it tastes in the U.S. My senora also loves snacks which is great because as everyone knows, I love to snack! She has so much popcorn, it's so awesome. I know I'm not going to go hungry while I'm here!
