I Did my Research

So today I went to the pool with Ainhoa and her two friends, Lara & Alba (what a pretty name!).  We played Culo--the card game from yesterday I'm getting pretty good at it ;)-- and talked a lot about the differences between the USA & Espana.  I'm really glad that I read up on social differences, especially the fashions.  I asked about some of the things I read, such as: wearing tights under shorts in the winter time, not wearing flip-flops=chanclas like EVER, wearing high heels always, never going out in athletic clothes...and the list goes on!  The reality is...all of this is correct, so thank god I brought some cool tights and I limited my athletic clothes to PJs, I didn't even bring sweatpants!  Of course my lifestyle will never completely blend in because I love playing sports and I don't love shopping...but oh well I'll always be 'la rara' (strange) person because I want to be. :)
