The weekend of March 13th (Momo's birthday) I stayed in Sevilla and Erin (who is studying in Granada) came to visit! I went to lay out by the river with Jessica, waiting for Erin to call me when she got in. It was such a gorgeous day! It was the weekend before all of my midterms, so I brought study materials- as if any studying actually got done, but at least I made the effort! Once Erin got in we were all pretty hungry so we went to this italian place right by the river that we always pass on our way to class that smells delicious. We don't eat many salads here, so I decided now was the perfect opportunity. Well... the salad that sounded the best had a main ingredient called "canónigos." Never, have I ever learned this word, and in Spain you need to be very careful with food words you don't know because 97% of the time you will get some sort of pig on your plate. So, I asked the waiter what it was, he paused, looked confused, and then left, returning moments later with the English menu. "Lamb lettuce"... what is lamb lettuce?! I didn't care though, it wasn't pig so I ordered it. I'm glad I did! It was delicious (the salad was the Spanish version of a Waldorf salad- my favorite) Later that night, we botelloned (basically just the Spanish way to say bring your own booze and drink in the streets with your friends)
Not much else happened that weekend, it was so good to see someone from home. I do miss you guys you know!
Now you're almost all caught up.
Love love
