1. Here, you wear your wedding band on the fourth finger of your right hand. I have yet to switch my ring.
2. Dos besitos (two kisses on the cheeks) is the custom here. Not one kiss, like I'd gotten used to in South America.
3. It is really windy here. And the wind picks up the sand so the beach becomes the site of a sandstorm. Also, people can apparently tell where the winds are coming from. Big, warm gusts of wind from the south are from the Sahara desert. Cooler breezes come from the Atlantic.
4. The city Cadiz used to be named "Gadez" and is the oldest continuously-inhabited city in southwestern Europe.
5. Door knobs in the old part of town are in the middle of the doors. Why not?
6. If you order fish, assume that it will come with its head, tail, and bones. Hmm...
7. The director of our program was actually a student in the very same program seven years ago. She met a Spaniard, stayed in Cadiz, got married, had a baby girl and now works with the exchange students. But not to worry, Mom. I'm coming home!
