We were back to our daily grind Tuesday and started our day
as usual with some good ole peanut butter toast and zumo de pina y uvas. Our classes were all as they usually were,
just normal conversations in Spanish and went over our English proposals. We got out a little early to have extra time
to work on our proposals so that was a nice change. Jen and I returned home after school to a
lovely lunch prepared by Jamel. He made
small meatballs, corquetas de pollo, patatas fritas, una ensalada, pan, y arroz
blanco. As always it was a ton of food
and Jen, but of course by now we are experts at making it look like we ate more
than we actually have. We messed around
with the salad and pile of bread to make it look like we ate some, when in
reality we hadn’t even touched it, even though all the food was very good.
After lunch we gathered our things and went to the Royal
gardens around the corner. We worked on
some homework there while getting our tan on at the same time. It was much easier to get there than bother
with the production of getting to the beach.
We stayed there a few hours before heading back home to spruce up before
meeting with our intercambios. Jake and
John’s intercambios met with ours again and we all went back to the place we went
the week before. Getting there was much
easier this go around because we didn’t make wrong turns…surprising, I
know. We ended up hanging out for a good
3 hours at the tapas place and it was just like we had all known each other for
years. We were making jokes and teaching
each other slang in both Spanish and English.

We headed home and Sam, one intercambio, walked back with us
and come to find out she lives on our same street! She was so sweet and easy to talk to. She said her dream is to live in the U.S for
a summer with a family because she really wants to practice English more and
learn all about the culture. Jen talked with
her the whole way back in Spanish and she kept complimenting the two of us on
how helpful we are and how sweet we are to everyone. She said she wished she had met us weeks ago
because she wishes she could’ve hung out with us more. We got home and Jen and I immediately became
sad when we realized we only have a week left and want to make extra time to
hangout with Sam.

We have really lucked out with everything this trip and we
can’t get over how much we are going to miss the entire group of
intercambios. When we got home we worked
on more homework and talked with the Italian ladies for a little about
Greece. Gemma and Jamel had gone out to
a tapas festival near Benimaclet and invited us but we were bummed we couldn’t go
because we had already committed to our intercambios, but it was definitely just
as fun.
