Intercambios, Mantequilla de Cachuate y Lluvia
So yesterday was quite a day. First we went to Italica for our cultural visit during school. It was pouring down rain so we didn´t stay long becuase Italica is basically ruins of a Roman city. After we got back I had to run to the bus so that I could make it to the school on time. When I got there the teacher just takes me up and throws me in a class room...AHHH!! So I had to waste a half and hour talking to high schoolers about Indiana and asking them questions. It was actually really fun. I am not sure how this is supposed to help my English but it is good practice anyway. Then I had to go back to the school for a fiesta. We were supposed to meet our intercambios, which is like and language exchange buddy (they are all learning english at the center). Mine is this really tall basketball coach guy who is in love with the Indiana Pacers haha. He is really nice though so I think it will be a good experience. Oh ya, before the fiesta, Jenn had an undying craving for peanut butter because they don´t really have that here. We went on a search through Corte Ingles (Spains version of Walmart) to find the sacred mantequilla de cachuate. It cost us almost 5 dollars but we decided it would be worth it in the end. Of course, you have to have something to scoop it out with, so we found some oreos and felt pathetically american but you gotta do what ya gotta do haha. We ate our oreos and pb in the street. It was great. After the fiesta we tried to go for tapas. Haha so unnecessarily difficult!! After all that, mind you it is midnight and still pouring down rain, I went to my bus stop only to realize that my bus was done running for the night. I had no money for a taxi (smart, I know) so Jenn lent me some. My taxi driver was super nice and very "complimentary" we will say. Haha I got a cheap taxi ride out of the deal though so in the end, it was all good and very entertaining.
