Coffee, Vacklava and Zurbaran´s people

Hi everybody again¡

My last class is now over and i have time to enjoy now in a coffee, Cafe Milano, opposite to the University of Berkeley. Sun is shining, as usually here in Berkeley (San Francisco is a little bit colder, and when the fog comes is even worst. You´d better go away of the Bay) I´ve been watching you tube because a friend of mine in Bilbao told me about a new group that is now on the ball there. They are called Zurbaran´s People. Ja ja ja ja ja ja. Thanks great almirant Jesus to post it on Internet. That was a really good idea  (Don´t think twice, Arantxa, it´s allright).

Well, i´ve got here some photos from the last parade and i´m goin´ to upload too a photo of my room in my new house in the South of  Berkeley, 45 minutes walkin´ from the school, which is great.


Just one photo today, because this wi-fi here in Milano goes really slowly. My room is very comfortable and huge; what you see in the photo is just one part of it. In the other part of the room, i have a table to study and a private restroom. So i´m very happy with my homestay. But this is not the best, the most importan thing for me is the people that are living there, the owners. Ann is a lovely person, we speak everyday during breakfast and after my classes and her part-time job too. So i´m really happy with her. I can improve my speakin´ -i have to do it- in that way. Her husband, as i told you the other day, is right now fishing in Canada and he will be back in Berkeley next saturday.
She speaks very very slowly, very different from one´s of my teacher at school, who is very funny (good sense of humor, his name is Steve). But here, you have to deal with all the new situations, as you may suppose. And that is good.

Well, tomorrow is my first exam so i think i´m gonna go to study a little bit.

PD. We´ve been eatin in a Turkish restaurant and Vacklava -or something like that- is a special dessert from Turkey. Fantastic. Tomorrow too is a special day cos we are goin´ to Ackland to have fun there.
I´ll tell you. Hugs, kissss and love for everybody. Keep in touch and enjoy your holidays too.
