Last night I discovered Spaniards will go out and party until three in the morning on a Sunday night. How do I know this? There is a bar right below my apartment. With the noise from the bar and the heat from the night getting sleep was a little difficult. As my Parisian roommate Benjamin said: “It was either window open with a little breeze and really loud, or window closed with no breeze and a little loud.” But siestas definitely make up for the lost sleep in the afternoon so it’s all good haha.
For breakfast my señora had out fresh fruit, orange juice, and a chocolate drink that you mix in with your water. And she also had crackers with chocolate spread. This didn’t exactly tide me over for a two thirty lunchtime so it is good that my class this week is “A Foodie’s Guide to Spain”! I have a really fun class and my teacher, Andy Noverr taught us all about the food vocabulary before we headed out to the supermarket. There I bought a banana and some almonds to keep in my room. From there we were introduced to… Tapas! Probably the best invention on the face of the earth. Yes that’s right, better than the ipad or the internet etc. etc. Ann Arbor should really adopt them, I think AA is hipster enough for it. And the best part is, they all come with a free drink. Soo… Sangria all around?! Me encanta.
After class I walked home and had a small lunch with my señora and took a relaxing siesta before meeting Julia, Emily and Nicole to buy phones. Only one day with no connections and it felt like an eternity. How sad is that? I kind of enjoy being free from facebook and the internet. Once that was done we had a couple hours to kill before the group pizza dinner so we wandered around the gorgeous city admiring the architecture while we relaxed at a café for some refreshing coca colas.
Dinner was absolutely delicious and all of the students are such a blast. Tomorrow morning I am going running with two of the girls to explore the city (hopefully we don’t get lost! Yikesabee). So I should get into bed.
Hasta luego!
