Saturday was a slow day. Having watched the Olympic Opening Ceremony til 1am, we slept in pretty late.
I ate chocolate muffins with tea and juice, relaxed for a while, caught up on journaling. Played some piano.
For lunch we had paella (yellow rice, peas, mussels, oysters, shrimp, snowpeas, boiled egg) with bread.
I am proud to say that I tried EVERYthing in that dish. Yes, everything. And I liked most everything too.
Paella is typical in Spain for fiestas, and is made with chicken or seafood, depending on the place and the cook. Nuria´s mom is an excellent cook. ; )
Finished with some ice cream. They´re very sweet, always asking if they can get me anything else and saying that the kitchen is always open.
Later we went to the mall - huge - to do some shopping. I got some presents for friends and family (and some leather sandals for me). When we got home we had dinner: salchichas (thin sausage links, not spicy) and an omelette for me (´tortilla de huevo´). And bread, of course. We had fruit salad for dessert. I love how we never skip dessert.
Before bed I gave the parents the gifts I´d brought (typical souvenirs from DC and VA). Tomorrow - visiting relatives in Burgos!
