man i'm tired.

since i have some free time, i will tell you a little more about my new spanish friends.

consuelo, or chelo, was born in La Alberca - the village we visited yesterday. in fact, we passed the house she was born in on our tour. chelo is very pretty. she is likely in her early 40s, though she and i look about the same age. she is a pharmacist with two girls. she hasn't really spoken much about her husband and i don't ask, so i don't know if their is a man in her life or what. regardless, she is super. she's also my roomate. of course she's super.

norma is also very beautiful. she works in an ad agency in madrid. yesterday she was saying she has a spanish guitar body like most women in space. i guess would be the equivalent of a pear shaped body. she was very critical of herself yesterday, but i think she's lovely. dark dark hair, blue eyes and a great smile. most people who are beautiful are real assholes, but norma is a doll.

eloisa is quiet and comes from the town of cadiz. apparently they dance the sevillanas there which is similar to flamenco. i think. i dunno. i have been asking the spaniards to show me sevillanas and no of them will. this leads me to believe it is very embarrassing.

jose maria is one of my favorites. he said his friends call him chema so i told him mine call me lola. we laughed at one another and now we call each other by nickname. chema plays soccer for a division 2 spanish league. this means he's pretty good. he's the goalkeeper. we were talking about how busy my day will be on saturday because i have only one full day to do all the things i really want to do. he said if he wasn't going on vacation early saturday morning (to london with his gf) he would have shown me around. this is why i love the spanish. they are so helpful and nice.
