Today was pretty much the same as any other. But I got another package from home! In it my family sent me Girl Scout cookies, pictures, some of my tour guide books for Madrid, and lots of candy. My mom made me and my roommate Natalia Easter bags full of candy. It was pretty awesome. She also sent us some egg dying supplies – we're just not sure how that will work out with the extremely dark brown eggs they have here. Everyone is very jealous of how much love I get from my family. And now the wall over my bed looks like my refrigerator back home. Everyone loves to see what cards I will get from home because they always have funny pictures of 
saying. After working on some homework for class the next day we decided to go out and finally get some churros con chocolate. We headed over to Sol and then walked a ways to a small alleyway off of the plaza mayor. Here Natalia had found a tiny little café that specializes in churros. We each ordered one and sat outside to wait for our treats. A couple sat down next to us and it turned out that they were from California as well. They had been living in Madrid since January but were both taking different courses – one half of the semester was Spanish courses and then the other half was whatever school classes you needed. So they were asking Natalia how she liked Barcelona and what they should see there. We also had a chance to talk to the woman about what we should see in Italy and also Paris. It was a fun coincidence.
When they brought out our churros I actually started bouncing in my seat from excitement. They give you a coffee cup full of thick, dark chocolate and a plate full of churros. The churros aren't sweetened with cinnamon or sugar but that makes the chocolate that much better. I ate until I was actually sick. Then we headed back home for some more studying. I eventually went to bed, happy that I finally got my churros.
