So the past two days have been fabulous. La señora told me that she thinks I need to talk to more natives. But she just doesn't understand that I have no idea how! No no she said, just go up and talk to them. So that is what I did. So I learned a lot from her that day.
1) Everyone my age hangs out at the Plaza around 1-3. And when she said everyone she really meant everyone.
2) Sangria is not in season right now, apparently its too cold.
3) No one sits down when they drink outside... I dont know
So I tried this out, I went on my own and just started talking to people! They really are super friendly. I met a futbol player, some guy who thought he knew english and some boys who taught me how to cat call at ladies. It was an interesting experience to be one of the spanish boys.
The next day Chenoa and I went on a shopping excursion that wasnt very successful.. but I finally found myself some boots. You dont understand how hard it was. Then we returned for lunch where I got to successfully make my own lunch. We went out again to people watch and saw illegal immigrants run from the cops, Chenoa and I wanted to make a distraction so they could get away but it all happened sooo fast! Then we set a mission to find "agua de sevilla" which we thought would be a popular drink.. and it turns out it really wasnt. Its supposed to knock you off your feet and we searched everywhere! We walked down one street where a huge group of Italians clapped and cheered for us saying "guapa!!" Finally we decided to look it up online, where we also invited Heather and Matt to join us. Apparently the resturant down the street had it, and it was quite delicious I want to recreate it when I come back to the states. Heres what was in it:
- 1 liter pineapple juice or syrup
- 1 bottle of cava, a pink, sparkling, fizzy wine located in Spain
- 1 cup whiskey
- 1 cup cointreau (triplesec)
- ice
- Whipped cream
Besos!
