This weekend was quite the weekend of nothingness, but in a good way. Friday, I went to the beach. Saturday, I went to the beach. Sunday, I went to the beach... and I guess there was some stuff in between : ) But this weekend was absolutely gorgeous outside, almost hitting 80 every day. My friends and I spent all of our time at the beach... playing volleyball, listening to music, occasionally jumping in the water (which is freezing cold still). It was the perfect end to a long week of studying for my midterms. Alicante is gorgeous!!! Plus I get my midterms back today, and did well on them, which means despite all the chillin on
the beach, Iam learning!
Some highlights from this weekend... beach volleyball, a random parade of sweet cars that we watched from our taraza (porch/patio), the dog getting ahold of the rabbit my family skinned...
On Sunday, I joined my family again for another trip to their casa del campo. This week, my friend Kim joined us. She got to experience mi familia loca. In fact, she experienced it all... there
was another rabbit skinning, a trip to the beach, twenty people gathered around a table for eight to eat, etc.
I absolutly love the typical day spent with my family here. They are all so easygoing, and Sundays are always absolutly hilarious. Of course, all of my cousins think the time we spend together is the perfect chance to teach me some slang that I probably would´t be learning in class. Plus, the food is amazing. Every week we eat chicken, veggies, potatoes, all cooked in their brick oven over an open fire. Each week we have different apetizers too... these are the things that I prefer to just try a bite or two of... for instance, this week we had salted ham and a sauce made from dates on a pizza
like crust. Sounds gross, but I really liked the mix of sweet and salty. Every week their is some different sort of seafood; I tried Octopus this week for the first time... I liked it a lot! Sundays are the day to relax here. We all wear sweatpants and tshirts, and just bathing suits when it´s hot, quite a change from the usual dressed up days of the week. I really look forward to Sundays, especially because I am feeling more and more comfortable around my family every week, like I am part of the fam : )
