Well, today is our last day in Cadiz... we leave for the Jerez airport at 6am tomorrow morning. I have really enjoyed the trip - exploring a new city, eating tapas, chatting with my family, and teaching and watching as Bernardo, Sergio, Diego, Emilia, Benito, y Tomas learned about the Spanish language and culture. I think my only complaint about the trip is how hot my room is when I´m trying to go to sleep at night, as there isn´t air conditioning... otherwise, MundoLengua has done a great job of organizing activities, classes, and homestay families for us.
Yesterday afternoon, we met up with Senora Lopez, her mom, and her daughter. Everyone really enjoyed meeting her mom, who seemed to especially enjoy talking to Bernardo. We sat and had refrescos while everyone caught Sra. Lopez up on everything we´ve done during the trip. Then, Sra. Lopez took us to "one of the best pastelerias in Cadiz," where we tried "Pan de Cadiz." We also enjoyed some napolitanas (Benito is addicted) and other sweets. It was a lot of fun to see Sra. Lopez, and to meet her mom (who is a walking libro de recetas!)
We also had our "goodbye lunch" yesterday with David Hirsch, the director of MundoLengua. He took us to a restaurant on the beach called "La Arana," where we had lots of tapas - patatas alinadas, lomo (with blue cheese sauce), croquetas, and paella! Tomas won the prize for eating almost all of the random seafood in the paella.
I´m off for a quick run, then to observe classes (in one of the classes, they´re watching a scary movie this afternoon). Tonight, we all make paella together in a GIANT paella pan. Should be fun! Hasta Pronto!
