This week I discovered a new coffee shop, it’s called Jester Coffee, and it is about one block away from my apartment. I got a mocha and chocolate banana bread, and Erica got an iced mocha and a nutella croissant. We both loved everything, and will definitely be going back!
For my history class we went to the Centro Nao Victoria and had a tour of the museum, and then afterwards climbed onto a replica of the Nao Victoria, which was the first successful ship to circumnavigate the world, captained by Magellan. The Nao Victoria replica sat right on the River Guadalquivir, and demonstrated how traveling on a ship as a sailor would have been in that time period.
The third photo is an example of one of my meals from my homestay, it was a panini with salami, ham and cheese. I have had a wide variety of meals here so far, from tortilla de patata to croquetas to salads to omelets and more, and I have enjoyed almost every meal. We usually have a baguette or picos (little bread chips) with every meal.
The last photo is a crazy spontaneous decision Erica and I made- getting tattoos! Last time I was in Spain last spring, I got a spontaneous tattoo so I had to keep the tradition going. Erica got a stamp of a fan on the back of her arm, we both got matching tattoos on the back of our arm, and then I also got forget me not flowers on my ribs for my grandmother who passed away last year. I’m so grateful to be here enjoying this experience and have been wanting to get something to remember her by 🙂
