Sunday April 20, 2008
Today I woke up to rain. If I know two things that don’t go together well, it’s rain and bullfights. Apparently that makes things a little dangerous? It continued to rain on and off up until the fight. We walked all the way to the Plaza de Toros (Plaza of the bulls), bought seat cushions, found our seats (they were good!), took pictures before the fight and then we were told that the fight was suspended due to the condition of the ring (which was too wet, therefore too dangerous). This made the day rather depressing because I actually was really excited to experience this part of the culture. We are going to try and get tickets for the next bullfight, next Sunday, which is the night before we leave for May Term, but I think it’s worth it.
The good part about today was that it was our “dessert Sunday” where Sam cooked/taught Encarna how to make brownies and Encarna showed Sam how to cook as well. The brownies and ice cream were perfect…rich…warm…amazing. Encarna (who keep in mind is still on her diet) ate almost half a pan of brownies and ice cream. She thought that this piece of American culture was delicious.
I finished my night off by studying for my culture and grammar finals that will be in the morning. I’m ready to get these finals out of the way, so I cannot wait until tomorrow!
