Hills like San Fran

Hey all,

I slept till 2 today feel like a lazy bum, but my question is when I sleep till 12 everyday what is sleeping late? I went and met up with everyone at a cafeteria (cafe) and we were just chatting half the group was online on their laptops. I got a chance to walk around more of the city before the sunset. I am quickly realizing how many churches their our in the town and wondering who fills them since I heard about 20% of the country's (apx. 98% Catholics) actually go to weekly mass. So much for a government forcing their country to practice a religion for so long.

Why in a country in universal health care do they let everyone kill their lungs, doesn't the government pay twofold for the populations cancer treatment? Do they just make it up on taxes on the cigarettes?

I have realized the bar street, the cider street, and the dance club street are all on San Francisco type hills. I don't know if was a conspiracy to see all the drunk people roll down the hill or not, but these hills are a crazy workout! No need for the gym!

So far I am still not the biggest fan of the food but I am hoping one day it gets better and I am happily surprised. I doubt that all I want though is some good pasta! I miss my life of Italian food.....(okay i took a break writing this for dinner) and I have to say tonight was my favorite meal so far with salmon and homemade french fries!

Wash: So my home stay mom kinda took it as an insult when I offered to do my own wash, so I let her do it (completely not worth insulting her). Let me just say I don't think anyone has done my laundry for me since like 5th or 6th grade so this just seems weird to me. On top of that she turned my white shirts blue, yes dark wash jeans and a white shirt together that will happen. Plus everything goes outside on the line. I understand that in the summer, but when its cold and winter and takes 3 days to "kinda" dry outside I do not understand. Donde esta the dryers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats all as I watch the news again today and hear about 2 big things Israel/Palestine and OBAMA!

Adios!
