Things I miss

So I've only been in Spain for three weeks. And what could I possibly miss already? Well, here's a partial list: long showers, chocolate, dessert, seedless grapes, baked food, a set schedule, green things like grass and fields of corn and nice shady trees, understanding people who speak Spanish without a lisp to their z's and c's or who turn their s's into air, fresh milk, public restrooms, not being under-dressed to go to school, good apples, street signs, people who are on time, and need I say chocolate one more time?

Then again, I am in Spain where I'm surrounded by siestas, fiestas, cervezas, buen amigos, really cool old buildings, amazingly good hot weather the way I like it, good looking men, tons of shoe stores, lots of new food to try, and more new experiences to have. And I suppose not everything is different; people are pretty much the same everywhere, even with a different language and cultural norms.
