I Live Above a Gynecologist

First, I´ll explain the title. I live on the 7th floor of an apartment building. On the first floor is a gynecologist office. I just found it amusing when I walked in to where I was living the other day and there was a sign for a gynecologist office in the lobby.

I figured since I was at the internet café checking my email and such this morning I would give you an update on yesterday. After I updated my blog, I headed back to the apartment for lunch. Eating is much different here. Basically, I eat a banana or something and then a couple pieces of toast along with a cup of hot tea. I´ve never been a big tea person but I´m learning to like it. Different from in the Estados Unidos (United States), the big meal of the day is lunch. Yesterday, my host mom fixed us really good homemade spaghetti. It was very tasty. After lunch, I headed out to explore the city a little bit.

I found a park that is about 45 minutes from the apartment. I am afraid to use the bus system right now since my Spanish is not good so I have been walking a lot. The park was really nice. It had a little pond and a lazy river type thing with rowboats and paddle boats. It was cool. I took some pictures and I will put them up later. I don´t want to put up a lot of pictures until I have a few more.

I am off to a park that overlooks the city now. I have figured up that it will take me about an hour to walk back to the apartment from the park and I have to be back by two so it will be good timing. The streets are very easy to navigate here so I won´t get lost.

I will check my email later on this evening before it gets dark here. If anyone reads this today and wants to email me, feel free. I´ve not gotten any emails from anyone and I would be excited to get them.

Hasta luego!

Until next time, Zach will leave it at that.

Think of it this way, you may meet a pretty girl if you're living above the gynecologist's office, and it could be much worse! Sounds like you're off to a good start.....be safe!
