Last Day of June

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!
