Yes that's right, today is Sangria Sunday! After my flight being delayed two and a half hours, Abby and I deserved some delicious sangrias. Our host mom, and her daughter and son-in-law met us at the airport and helped us with our massive amounts of luggage (thank god haha). It was pretty awkward when we arrived and she was showing us to our rooms because we both didn't want to speak Spanish yet. I unpacked and showered and then we decided to go exploring for two hours while Puri prepared lunch :) We walked down to the Bull Ring that's literally like 3 blocks from us, and were being touristy and taking pictures:
We stopped at a tapas bar and ordered Sangria and apparently you get a free tapas when you do, which is sweet considering the conversion rate from US dollars to Euros sucks. We finished our (very strong) sangrias and made our way over to another tapas bar. (I love Spain already!)
It was there at that tapas restaurant (which we can't remember the name of) that we decided Sunday is Sangria Sunday, and every Sunday here will be Sangria Sunday!
We told Puri we'd be back by 3:30 so we could eat lunch. She made chicken legs with bacon, and potatoes and it was soo good!! Lucky us :) We talked with her the whole time in Spanish so wooo! Hopefully I can keep it up! (Abby and I keep speaking in English, I mean we don't know how to gossip in Spanish so we're sticking to English together)
We have orientation at 10 tomorrow, but we're probably going to pass out in an hour or so because the jetlag is already in gear and we want to be rested for tomorrow! We have to find the school using the Metro, we'll see how this goes with my sense of direction haha
