Well the countdown to home begins. I can't believe how fast this has gone by. Although the days are long the time has flown. Only 10 days left in this incredible country.
Earlier this week we visited St.Esteban's Convent. It was absolutely beautiful. Afterwards we found a little courtyard where we could buy "nun cookies" like we did in Madrid. They were even more delicious here! I didn't think that was possible.
So, for dinner the other night we went to a Mexican restaurant! We told ourselves we wouldn't eat non-spanish food in... Spain.. but we couldn't help it. We made the right decision because it was phenomenal. I had mexican nachos... hands down the best nachos I've ever had in my life. No lie.
Last night we went to the plaza mayor to listen to a "Tuna" group. Now, keep in mind that tuna does not mean the fish hear. that would be atun or bonito... "Tuna" is a musical group from the University of Salamanca and they play their instruments and they dress up in their crazy, traditional attire and sing incredible songs. I can't believe it took us this long to discover them. We had a blast!
Some members of the Tuna group!
He may or may not have given me "besos" on my cheek!
Now tomorrow we are taking a little break from Spain. Emily and I are going to Coimbra, Portugal! It's a 4, 4 and half hour train ride that leaves at 4:30 in the morning! It's okay, it will be worth it! Spending the day in Portugal, no big deal. :) Our sweet madre is making us a breakfast to go. Let me tell you what this consists of... some fruit... with a chocolate sandwhich. yep. Oh to live in Spain.
Just some grapes chillin' on a tree..
P.S. I still have to remind myself that I'm in Spain sometimes. I can't believe that I was here when they won the world cup. Seeing the continuous red around this country is a consistent reminder... VIVA ESPANA!
