Que asco

I love the phrase, "que asco." It can mean anything from "that's disgusting" to "you're disgusting." Often partnered with "joder" for emphasis.

Friday was pretty relaxing here. There was a crazy thunderstorm that knocked over trees and lasted about 10 hours during the day, so we stayed in! I think Buddha has been helping me out with the weather while I'm here though. The rain each week has truly been a gift! The sun doesn't like my skin (hence the 3rd degree sunburns last summer) and I don't like the sun much either. Everyone here keeps saying how rare it is to have rain here in June/July..Victor says it hasn't rained this often, and this severe in over 10 years! I definitely think I brought on the fresca temperatures! Anyway, I played monopoly for 3 hours with Rodrigo and discovered that the game has no end. Joder.

Saturday I went to the Mercadona (grocery) with Pilar and Marta to party shop. The two households host a neighborhood-wide party the Saturday after the kids finish school. We cooked for from noon-9pm (with a siesta break around 4)! The main course was Salmon cake. Que asco, right?! It's basically sheet cake size pieces of bread stacked on top of each other with a filling of Salmon, onion and mayo paste. It was buenisimo! Dinner was at 10pm at our house, followed by (more) cocktails and dessert next door at Marta's around 1am. Lots of socializing, eating, drinking and dancing. I was with Toñi most of the night, she's hilarious! Her husband, Victor, looks exactly like Anderson Cooper.


Tomorrow I'm going to the Mercadona on a search for conditioner. I've been living without it for 2 weeks and my hair is suffering! I'm sure it exists, the family I live with just uses shampoo I guess.
