After dance today the Kabcenells arrived!! At 7:30 I met them underneath the clock in the Plaza Mayor and we headed out to Van Dyck to go Tapas hopping. We started off at Don Cochinillo for the best Cochinillo Asado (fried baby pig) in Salamanca. There we also got some Croquetas de Gambas and Salpicón Mariscos. Then we went to the next place and got queso de oveja (sheep cheese) and cotillado asado (ribs). Sabrosa. Our last place we went to I finally tried the cow tongue! It was actually really good. We also ordered a tortilla with cheese and zucchini in it. I ordered a Shandy for Jim (beer with lemon) a drink I definitely need to make back in the states.
After dinner we wandered back to the plaza and sat on the terrace while we watched the nightlife. On the other side of the plaza a band was playing which was the perfect soundtrack for the evening. It was so nice to be with my “pseudo parents” as Jim calls it. The last time I was in Europe with them was when I was thirteen! It was great to catch up and hear about their trip so far and tell them about my time here in Salamanca.
We walked back to see their hotel and on the way Jim treated us to some decadent gelato. I got yogurt with fruit and they got cheese with berries and lemon. Their hotel was so beautiful! It is right by the river and from their room they can see the tops of the Catedrals. They also had some of that acorn liquor in their room that we had some sips of… The United States really needs to get some of that stuff – it tastes like caramel.
I just got home and am meeting them tomorrow at 9:30 to go to the market! Gotta go to bed!
Buenas noches!
Katherina
