Hola! So tonight Marieta (my host mom) invited Halee, Liz and I to a little cafe for dinner and to meet some of her friends. Apparently Marieta has known the owner of the cafe since she was little, so I'm guessing that it is a place she visits often. When we got there, she introduced us to three of her friends, one being a gypsy who started to play us some flamenco guitar. Marieta, being the character that she is, got up and started dancing flamenco while he was playing. It definitely was a great experience getting to talk to her friends and hearing flamenco guitar played right in front of us. Also, while Marieta was dancing, she noticed a table of young french girls sitting across from us and invited them to eat with us. Marieta speaks French as well because she studied in France when she was younger.
It turns out though that the three french girls are also studying in Granada this year. So within our group (Spanish, French and American) we were all able to speak Spanish and understand each other, which was a lot of fun. We even got into a little bit of a political discussion, which was very interesting seeing everyone else's viewpoint. We spent about three hours there just talking, eating and getting to know each other. It was great getting to meet more Europeans and hearing someone speak Spanish with a French accent.
The picture above is from a couple nights ago when Doug, Halee and I ordered some "tropical" sangria (and of course the tapas that came along with it). It was so good...very sweet with lots of fresh fruit in it! Hasta luego!
