jueves, 6 de junio

Waking up this morning proved itself to be quite the struggle.  After hitting the snooze button multiple times, we finally got out of bed 40 minutes after our first alarm had gone off.  We stopped at the cafe across the street for breakfast and got baby bocadillos with tortilla de patatas in it.  Such a good little meal.  We got to class to find out that 6 people were absent...so it became pretty awkward when our teachers were talking about people going out the night before.  But we were proud of ourselves for still making it!

After the struggle of class finally ended we headed back home for lunch and a much needed siesta.  Our host parents were joking with us that we were a little hungover and made us the "perfect hangover" meal for lunch.  It was basically a lentil stew and some bread on the side.  It didn't help right away but soon after it definitely cured us a bit, after our siesta of course.  We planned for a one hour siesta that ending up being a good 2 and a half hour siesta...woops. When we woke up I spotted a beautiful rainbow in the distance, but it faded out a little before I could grab my phone to get a picture.

Lentil "stew"

After we peeled ourselves from bed we began to work on some homework while waiting for dinner.  Jamel cooked a few frozen pizzas which are much better than any we have at home and we all sat around the living room table watching the comedy of Spanish news together.  It's fun to have meals together because we are all able to talk so casually and they are so much fun to joke around with. It's really going to be tough when we have to leave them soon.

While the last pizza was cooling off Gemma fried up some chorizo...wasn't thrilled about that meal coming to the table.  I chose the absolute smallest 2 pieces and said I couldn't eat anymore because I was "too full."  After dinner we went back to work to finish up our end of course assignments before heading off to bed for a busy day ahead. 

Hasta Luego :)
