Today is the last day of June. I can't believe where the time is going. I realized I don't have that much longer here in Spain. Only a little bit more than a month. Wow. I have mixed feelings about it. I really like it here in Spain, the weather is great, the sun is hot, the pools are refreshing, and it's fun to hang out with Lucia every day. But I have to admit that I do miss home. I miss mostly the food.
Carmen and David have asked me if there is anything that I want, but nothing really comes to mind. It's not a specific thing that I miss, it's more the combination of everything that I am familiar with. I am definitely going to write down some of Carmen's recipes and bring them home, though. Especially ones where you puree tomatoes, because I know my father, and he always plants an abundance of tomatoes that always end up going bad because we can't eat them fast enough. Gazpacho and San Marejo would be a great way to use up those tomatoes, and they are very classic spanish dishes that are pretty easy to make.
Today Lucia and I have made a cheesecake. It was all in a box, and all we had to do was add milk and water, but I think we had a pretty good time making it. I am pretty excited to try it, it looks really good. And the few taste inspections I had tasted delicious.
So, today is the last day of June, and tomorrow is the first of July. That means that on Saturday, we leave for Calpe! hooray!
