So far, I've put on almost 6 pounds. Three of those have been gained in a single week here, eating this European food. It's not that bad! The second day, there was this disk that looked, felt, smelled and tasted like a manta ray. But I ate it all up, and even talked about how it looked like something fresh out of the aquarium just so I could bother the sister missionaries. The first day, I ate shrimp. Whole shrimp, with the little black, beady eyes staring at me and everything. It wasn't as bad as you'd think!

Gotta Love that Spanish Food - excerpt from letter dated April 28
So far, I've put on almost 6 pounds. Three of those have been gained in a single week here, eating this European food. It's not that bad!

Whole shrimp, with the little black, beady eyes staring at me and everything. It wasn't as bad as you'd think!
