love/hate

I find myself alternating between saying "ahh I love Spain" and "ahh I hate Spain" depending on what is going on at the moment.  Soo...this is my short list of loves and hates...

Love

• The weather
• the beach
• that everything is old and pretty!
• that I'm learning more Spanish
• the people that I'm meeting (even if that isn't really entirely Spanish)
• being able to travel easily
• the food.  Especially when its our Senora's food.
• the life style.  siestas, laid-back, stay up late, sleep late, you're always out of the house
• Public transportation can fit on both of these lists but its nice not to have to pay for gas and stuff or figure out how to drive when everyone drives crazy but waiting for it can be annoying at times.

Hate

• cat calls.  they are very common and very annoying
• crossing the street.  people aren't big fans of waiting for pedestrians here
• short showers, I just want a bath!!
• lack of mountain dew
• lots of PDA
• I do love the weather but hate the lack of air conditioning.  or fans.  and its only getting worse.
• when the language barrier can't be crossed and you have an awkward confusing conversation
• that everything costs more (although its not as bad as London!)

For the most part, I love it here and love everything and all my experiences, but I'll be ready to come home once this month is over and get back to normal life!  Although, I'm less homesick now after returning from London because I realized how much Malaga feels like home.  Both me and Amber kept saying "ahh I just want to be home in Malaga!"
