After class I had to be home by 3 to meet with my RA (this is a standard procedure for home stays) just to talk about our experience and how we are adapting and enjoying the Spanish life. We talked for a little while, and then I took the metro with Irene to the city because I was finally going to workout. DIR is an interesting gym, and has free weights, machines, tredmils, saunas, hot tubs, tanning beds...pretty much everything you can think of. The free weights and machines are outdated...but it will be fine! After I was finished with my workout I headed home to eat la cena and ducharme (shower).
We had an excellent dinner, something that I have never had before. We had Arroz a la Cubana, which is rice, salt, tomato sauce, a fried egg, garlic, and some other items as well. This dish was very good, and was a combination of many different tastes.
The following photo is a picture of buitfarra, which is a meat that is eaten very often in Catalunya. It tastes like a normal piece of sausage, but much more rich.
After dinner I relaxed for a little bit and then talked to some people and decided that I would go out. I went to a place that was basically a mix of locals and Americans which was pretty cool. I met some people from England, and also a girl whose father was "supposedly" the captain of the US Navy, which is definitely interesting if it is true.
I just got home a couple of minutes ago and tomorrow I hope to either travel to another province of Catalunya or just see some more sights in the city. I hope to take some more pictures that I can post, but this is all that I have for now.
A domani
