I am officially in Spain now! I flew into Madrid about two days ago and was fortunate to be picked up by the family I am staying with now. We drove for a little more than an hour and arrived at my home-away-from-home (for the next 8 months): Almorox.
What should I tell you about this town? I am really not sure. After all, I've only been here for two days. But I will tell you what everyone has told me (which I agree with 100%): Almorox is a VERY small town. It is a pueblo. Or how I like to call it, a pueblito.
Now, when I heard I would be living in Almorox, I found out quickly how small it would be. I looked it up in maps.google.com and it was like 10 streets big. I also looked up town information and all I could find was "Max Population: 2,000 people" (my high school was bigger than that!). Furthermore, the fact that I couldn't find any more information also spoke plenty of its size.
But how small is it really? Well, I think it is best explained with examples. After all, it is the small details that the average person doesn't know that speaks volumes of the situation. So, for everyone to get a grasp on how small my pueblito is, I've decided to use the same tactic of "Did you know..." random facts and apply it to Almorox. It's called: "You know you are in a little town when..." So here we go!
You know you are in a little town when...
The dentist comes into town once a week.
...
That's pretty small!
I hope I never get a tooth ache while the dentist is gone! ;-)
