October 16th -22nd
It seems that fall is in the air. It was another on and off again rainy weekend and I have been fighting a little cold (maybe why I have been feeling a bit run down). The price you pay working with kids I guess.
Halloween talk has been going around too and although it is an American holiday, you can find people celebrating it in all corners of the earth.
We stayed close to home again this weekend (I still don't have my metro card!) But most things are within walking distance and we need a way to burn off all those cafes con leche anyway. Friday night we met my co-workers for a game of trivia and Saturday night we met Daniel's co-workers at a house warming party.
Saturday afternoon we sat outside and had a drink called a café bombón. It reminded us of the tea and coffee in South East Asia with the condensed milk that is oh so delicious! After that we walked around the city. A new store just opened called Primark and there was a line up I think around 1km long! It is similar to H&M and Forever 21 and has cheap prices and I think it originated in Ireland.

Monday, we met one of my co-workers for churros con chocolate.

We bought this sheep cheese/milk for one euro. What I love about it is that it came in this ceramic container that, first of all, we can reuse, it is also recyclable and and producing it is not as harmful to the environment as plastic.
