As you all know, I recently moved to Spain. I am extremely excited for this adventure but there are going to be quite a few things to get used to. To follow the theme “how does this country get anything done” from my previous post, I have to talk about how NOTHING is open on Sundays, ALL year, not just in Vacation Month!
So I’m sitting here eating the most disgusting cereal (Special K with dried raspberries),
 |
| (no wonder Dia had it on sale -70% never a good sign) |
instead of my favorite cereal of all time (Muesli dried apple cinnamon),
 |
| YUMMY!! |
because yesterday my lovely roommate invited me to the store with her, which is a good thing, because I would have starved today. All grocery stores and malls are prohibited by Spanish Law to open on Sundays- UNLESS of course you live in a touristy area (downtown Madrid, any coast near the beach and all those great vacation but shitty areas to live places).
 |
| No wonder everyone here is a size 000 - you aren't allowed to buy food! |
I swear, everything is always closed in this place- or maybe I’m just going out at the wrong times. So of course, me being the complete nerd I am, or perhaps just a bored foreigner, I looked up that law. And sure enough- it exists! Except of course during Christmas time and other holidays when they want all your money.
 |
| You now have an extra day to spend all your money! |
So here we are, another boring Sunday. Thank god there is a Real Madrid game tonight, so that at 7pm I can wonder around and find a bar to sit in a watch it.
Until next time,
Besos!!
