Some interesting experiences

Well, today I had quite an interesting experience with food.  Today Danielle, Alyssa and I (you will hear about them a lot- they live in the same neighborhood as I do-se llama La Chana- and therefore, we tend to go everywhere together) decided to walk around the city a bit more to get to know where things are a bit more, since I have been getting lost like it's my job.  Since we have to be at school early tomorrow morning, we decided to make sure we absolutely knew how to get there.  On our way, we decided to stop at this cafe where we met on our first day to get some sugar (they don't often feed us sugary things at our homes, and as we all know, I love sugar & chocolate).  This is where our interesting experience occurred.  We went in, sat down and ordered.  Danielle and I both ordered types of ice cream that we didn't quite know what they were, but seemed good.  However, when they arrived, we quickly found out that, at least at this restaurant, they put alcohol in the bottom of your ice cream.  Yuck. I don't like my ice cream marred by whatever it was in there.  Also, I ordered something with toasted cream, which I found out is basically just hardened whipped cream.  I can't describe this taste at all, but it was very different from what I was expecting. Very interesting, but at least I wasn't fed rabbit for lunch, which happened to one of my friends.  Other than that, we just walked around, exploring the streets near our school until it was time to head back.  Class are starting tomorrow (we think, it may just be more orientation) and alas, I already have homework to do!

Hasta luego! -Kristen
