Today I went to a new store in Leon called A Taste of America. I never thought that 40 euros of food could make me so happy. I got Tortillas, PEANUT BUTTER, cranberry sauce, KRAFT mac n cheese, strawberry jello, dried cranberries, Goldfish, herbal tea that I always had when I was little, root beer, bagels, refried beans, hot sauce , and 'capri sonne' which is German, but it tastes the same as Capri Sun from America :). As I sit on my couch and munch on these goldfish I realize how much the little things really matter.
I talked to the owners for a long time while I was in the store and they told me about their travels to America and how it inspired them to open up this store in Leon. This helped me to realize that no matter where you go , it is possible to find the things and people that make you feel 'en casa' . And of course, it helps to know that 1000s of other Americans will be eating the foods that I am eating : )). Today's adventure has made me feel a lot more secure in my decision to go to Germany at the end of this month because with some work, I know I can find the things and people I need to support me while I'm there. It also helps that my Jif peanut butter will most certainly be in my suitcase. Other than my amazing food adventure today I'm going to skype, study and make some bean burritos, all in all a good day. This coming week I have exams after after that , 12 free days in Spain!
