I have to stay studying abroad is pretty a sweet deal. On March 27th, I had class then came back to my house and took a nap! We planned our Semana Santa plans--booking hostels and tickets, but more on that later. For lunch we had these amazing meatballs in read sauce, with fried potatoes and fresh bread. Also, there was two types of sliced dried sausage- one sweet and one slightly spicy and fresh manchego cheese for the bread. We learned about the Mediterranean diet in my Spanish Culture and Civilization class, and how the trilogy for Spain is olive oil, wine and bread. Being Italian, this is like a dream come true! I can't lie though, I am very excited to taste food in Italy especially since many of my friends have gone already and have been telling me about the amazing dishes. I also tried mint chocolate chip gelato this week, and was reminded of why it is my favorite! It was refreshing to have it on a warm day.
I've been able to spend time with some friends during the week, just walking and exploring Granada. I went with my friend Argelia to a few places and then, I met up with my intercambio, Cecelia! She is studying at the University of Granada and is from Cadiz. I practiced my Spanish with her and another girl Ariel who I was with when we met Cecilia at the University's main campus for a tango performance. I loved learning colloquial phrases and next time we meet, we are going to speak in English so she can practice her English and then just continue switching off. I'd say it's been a good few weeks!
