Quick Post

It felt good to have finished up our finals; I had a presentation and a final in my women's study class on Wednesday, Literature final on Thursday, and the last one was Grammar on Friday. We started our celebration by skipping our last two classes after our grammar final and we had one of our favorite things: chocolate con churros. We then walked around the shops before lunch since we had time, then retired to our apartments for lunch and a much needed siesta. We met up again later to walk through some more shops that we hadn't been to yet, then the whole group met in the Plaza for dinner. It was neat to be in the Plaza then for a little bit, because Spain was playing in the World Cup at the time, and all of the restaurants put up outdoor TVs for the outdoor seating. Spain scored while we were still in the middle of the Plaza, and we didn't need to actually see a TV to know it. The place erupted in cheers and it was electric and fun.

Dr. Torrico took us to a restaurant near the university, and we had a nice dinner there. My first course was an asparagus dish that was mixed with eggs. They put eggs with almost anything here it seems, only not with breakfast. It had an interesting taste, but actually quite good. Then I had a steak that was very tender and flavorful, and they come very thin, at least this kind of steak. Dessert was a tasty white chocolate mousse, an interesting texture and very rich.
