yep, it looks like i'm gonna need to re-learn how to eat with a knife and fork. at home, we cut what we have to cut, holding our knife in our right (if that's the dominant hand) and the fork in the left. then when we take a bite, we put the knife down and switch the fork to the right hand and eat up! well not up in here. in spain, it's rude to do that, or so i've read. you're supposed to keep your utensils in the same hand the whole time. also, it's sketchy to have one hand on your lap - both hands on the table is what's best. and through what i've seen so far, it's true! (and awkward for my left hand!)
i moved into my homestay today! (and by today, i mean yesterday. sept, 8) i'm living with a senora, esperanza, and she is lovely. we had meat with cooked carrots for lunch, along with gazpacho, which is cold soup (with ice cubes) made mostly out of tomatoes. and we ended the meal with delicious melon! she asks me a lot if i'm happy/content and i say "of course!" she got to meet my parents yesterday via skype, which made all parties very happy, i'm sure. there's also a pool with the apartment complex... getting some color in september, i think so.
