Cádiz... Sonría

5/22/10 - 5/23/10

On Saturday we went on our first excursion with the program. After very little sleep the night before we had to wake up at 7 a.m. to catch a bus to Jerez. Es una cuidad conocida por su vinos, especialmente el jerez (cherry). Vimos una demostración ecuestre fabuloso! El caballo supo bailar la sevillana! Vale. Después nos llevaron alrededor de la bodega Williamson and Humbert (o Las Medinas). Nos enseñaron como se fermentan los diferentes tipos de vinos y nos dieron algunos para probar. Se que nuestros padres están muy celosos :)





Nos fuimos de Jerez y el bus nos llevo a Cádiz, una cuidad playera... "Sol y Playa." Subimos una torre de la catedral para ver unas vistas espectaculares. Dicen que una parte de la cuidad luce mucho como La Habana, Cuba, se puede ver en las fotos que tomamos. Era impresionante y maravilloso. Pasmos el resto del día en la playa aunque hubo mucho elevante (viento). El agua estaba super super fría pero todavía nos metimos un poco. La pasamos muy bien y regresamos bien cansadas.






On Sunday we decided to go to mass at THE Cathedral in Sevilla... the third largest in the world! It was pretty awesome even without music. The archbishop gave the mass and according to Sevillanos it ran a little long at 45 minutes. After we went to Ana RC's family friend's for almuerzo. Marita was very nice and went met her whole family and a few friends, there were 14 of us in total! The best part was they showed us how they make paella! The Anas were very nervous about trying the paella marinero (full of different sea creatures... ahhh!) Good news... WE LIKED IT! I think that is the farthest we will be going with sea food in Spain. Later that night our family served caracoles... "bichos que tienes que chupar..." enough said.




Well it was a great week... on to a new week...
