2. Rachel I lived in Madrid for a whole year. And I have to be honest and say that at
first, well, I wasn't very happy. You see, I was homesick. I missed my
family, and I just wanted to go home. Part of the problem was my
Spanish. I couldn't communicate very well.
But I love to eat! And that's what really saved me. I tried tapas, those
small plates of food with bite-sized portions that they serve in places all
over the city. There were so many kinds! Fried squid, sausages, olives, all
kinds of meat and seafood in sauces ... Oh! It makes me hungry just
thinking about it. And of course, tapas are meant to be shared with other
people, so it's really fun. I made some Spanish friends, and we'd go out
for tapas all the time. So, I got to eat a lot of delicious food, and of
course, my Spanish improved dramatically as well. But there was one
thing that was difficult to adjust to, and that was that dinner was always
served at a late hour. I wasn't used to eating at eleven o'clock at night!
