Otro cumpleaños!

Tuvimos el cumpleaños de mi host-hermana!

No tengo fotos de la comida, pero comimos riquísima- asado de chorizo y morcilla, vino blanco y tinto, y dos tortas, una de chocolate y otra de limón. I didn't know what morcilla was when I saw it, but it looked like blood sausage (which I've never tried, but the concept weirds me out). I took one and started eating it anyway and afterwards host-brother-in-law (the one who made the food) explained it was cerdo y cebolla (pork and onion). I took that to mean it wasn't blood sausage, but I just looked online and apparently it is blood sausage? Ah well, I ate it.

Una noche re divertida con toda la familia.

Celebrating 95 Years

We celebrated my host mom's boyfriend's mother's 95th birthday with a tea party and family at our house.

Singing happy birthday with one giant candle in an apple cake. 

All of us together. Surprisingly, we're not drinking wine, but Coke. Coke seems to be the only/most popular soda to drink here. 

Me and the birthday girl.

Before everyone had arrived. We had various sandwiches and tea cookies. My host mom really decorated the table beautifully.
