Friday Lunch

Ah... so, I'm sitting back in class on Friday afternoon. We're doing presentations today... but I already did mine before lunch. While I had not practiced it last night as was recommended (come on, I'm a public speaker, I don't need to practice! And I was only presenting a lesson plan.)

So, there is a Friday lunch tradition...some hole in the wall restaurant around the corner has agreed to set up a menu for us on Fridays... pick one starter, one main and you get dessert and all the 1 euro per bottle wine you can get. Our table of 6 went through 3 bottles...oh, and one of us wasn't drinking. :) I had gaspacho for the first time, and it was delish! :) And then I had some spanish tortilla (egg with potatoe) and overcooked green beans... they have a special kind of green bean here that is like a foot long and REALLY wide. Anyway, they would be good in general, but they were overcooked.

Anyway... my point is just this... lunch went from 1-2:30...and we were all drinking. :)

So, now, the last few people are presenting their lessons...I'm kind of drunk and posting a blog instead of paying attention. Thank God it's the weekend tomorrow.

Tomorrow we're off on a day trip to Francos tomb....which is apprently really big and chill inducing.
I'll get back to you. :)
