What is lacking in America.

There are just some things you will see in Spain, that you're way less likely to find in the U.S.
For example:

• A couple of old people in full-length fur coats.

I never managed to get in front of them, and I still have suspicions that one of them may have been an old man.

• Beautifully-detailed drain pipes.

Now you might not think this is cool, but that's alright because I think it is way cool. These are all around the Plaza de Cervantes, which is the center of my little city of Alcala de Henares.

• Really amazing food and food markets.

I really like it so much, that I don't think I'll go into much depth right now. But here's one more picture of me enjoying Crema de Catalana (It's a Spanish creme brulee that you can see half eaten in one of the above pictures).

I look so happy because it was very delicious, and on my list of things to eat in Spain. So far, I've hit all the big ones; paella, churros con chocolate caliente, and crema de catlana. 

• Giant walls in the middle of the city, covered in plants.

So cool.

• The Prado.

I have never in my life been in such a close proximity for an extended period of time, to as many beautiful works of art as I am now. There are a ton of art museums here, and I have to visit most of them for my Madrid Walks class. The Prado is the only one I've been to so far, but later this week I plan on going to the modern art museum, Reina Sofia. It is the home of Picasso's Guernica. I'm very excited.

• Beautiful, historical cities and architecture.

Well, things are great here in Spain. My Spanish is still coming along. I really love all the amazing things I get to do, and see. I hope everything is well at home. Thanks to everyone for all their love. Coming soon, Segovia....
