La semana pasada

WEll I better write about the end of last week before I get too far into my trip into BArcelona I forget. The end of the week in Salamanca was very nice. On Thursday I went out for a walk with one of the girls in my house and a girl form school. We went shopping and I bought the cutest shirt ever. Then we went out for churros, so we had to walk some more.
Friday I met a girl form my class at the Plaza Mayor at 4:30. I thought that we would only be there for maybe and hour and I would have time to go back and finish packing before I had to meet Ashley for the night. However, we ended up talking and eating on the Plaza until 7 when I had to be in the same place to meet up with Ashley. IT was really nice, as the weather had gotten much better that day. I had an empanada with tuna and cafe con leche. Afterwards I met Ashley and we went for sangria and tapas at a cafe close by. I have no clue what I ate but it was good, as was the sangria and the whole thing was very cheap.
After tapas we were supposed to meet another person from the school to go out for more drinks, but he twisted his ankle and ended up in the hopital so we changed plans and went out with the girl from my house and her friends. WE walked forever to get to this little bar. There we had some wine and a few tapas. I got chorrizo (sausage) that was very good and I tried the Jeta(I think that´s how it´s spelled), which is the face of a pig. It was oki, salty and tough, but not something I would eat a whole plate of. After the bar, and after one of the girls got into a little tiff with a lady who didn´t understand crowded places, we headed to a seafood restaurant. There we shared plates of Mussels in vinager, chopitos(little tiny octopi), calamarie and patatos. It was all fantastic. Then I headed home to finish packing because I had an early train to catch.
The train ride was nice, though very long. The countryside was very interesting and there were plenty of different things to look at. My favorite was the end of the trip when we traveled next to the sea. It was so blue and pretty and the sun was just setting.
Barcelona is HUGE! Well at least in comparison to Salamanca. My roomates seem nice, if not a littel bit crazy. I have not seen much of the city yet, but there is much to see and only two weeks to do it in. I will update you on that as much as I can. I have no internet in my house agian, but I will be home inside of two weeks, making it less of a problem.

Hasta pronto,
Jennifer
