Spanish Mothers

Before my trip to Spain I heard many things about spanish mothers and how they take in students as if they are their own child.  With my experience, and what I have heard from my friends here this is very true.  My house mom and I have gotten to know each other pretty well over the past few weeks, and continue to learn new things about each other everyday.  For instance she hates warm milk and puts hers in the fridge, she spends a lot of time watching tv and enjoys watching american movies.  Yesterday we spent most of the day cooking postres together.  We made rosquillas (shown below) and churros con chocolate.  She reminds me a lot of my mom and mother like figures back in the United States.  Because of this I'm very glad that I chose to live in a host family, not only does she make some great food, but I've learned more about the spanish language and culture from her than anywhere else.
