Day 11

Monday we stayed at home for a bit; I mailed some postcards, Nuria´s mom went to the carniceria.
For lunch we ate cooked snowpeas with tomato sauce (delicious) and chicken wings. And bread. I´m loving the everything-freshly-made trend here. I feel healthy. Finished with a stracciatella (choc. bits) yogurt that I probably didn´t need. : )
Then we rode our bikes to the pool (same as before, like a country club), where the man at the entrance let me in for free!! Nuria couldn´t believe it. And neither could I, really.
We met up with a lot of her friends and the American students. We dipped in the pool, until I found out that you have to wear a swim cap to get in all the way. It´s a very clean establishment. ; )
We played cards for a bit, I had an ice cream. Nuria´s mom packed us both PB&J sandwiches - loved it! Never before have I so loved a PB&J sandwich. It was glorious.
Later some of us watched the Olympics (swimming) inside the tv lounge area. I have to say, there was one historic moment there... Before they blew the whistle, an American woman swimmer jumped off the platform. Just her. EVERYone laughed, and couldn´t stop cracking jokes. And guess who was the only American in the room? Yeah. That´s going to be funny for a while.
Nuria and I biked back home around 9pm (still light out), stopping to say goodbye to her friend Leyre, who we weren´t going to see again. For dinner: hamburgers (with ham inside besides the regular) and nachos. Their Doritos are different here. Their everything is different here.
Finished up with some galletas and peanut butter. *sigh of satisfaction*
Tomorrow they´re all planning to take the bus and spend the day at the beach. Woohoo! : )
