Halloween and Gluten Free Success

This weekend was the Halloween party orchestrated by student council. The time everyone had together was great and the costumes that many of the students created were amazing. Everyone from Cleopatra to the French Army to Superman was there. The party ended around midnight, most extremely reluctant to change into more accepted street attire. On Friday, i decided to get a jump-start on my impending due dates and final projects. I spent the entire day working besides a short trip with my host parents to buy food at El Corte Ingles. I had asked for Gluten Free cereal in the mornings as well as a few other things, which i was not too sure that El Corte Ingles would have. I had been to the department store in Sol many times before, only finding a few boxes of Gluten Free cookies, so i expected the same from El Corte Ingles Castellana. In the first few minutes of entering the store, i was entirely lost because of its massive size, but as we turned a corner (finally in the grocery section) I almost sat down and cried for sheer joy. Standing before me was an enormous aisle completely devoted to Gluten Free food. In the aisle was everything i had ever desired to have out of a Spanish bakery, cookies, cake, and even GF Turron was nearby. Not only was i able to get gluten free cereal, but also cookies and i will definitely go back every few weeks to try something new. Now to go back to that bothersome term paper...
