Last night was our farewell dinner. It turned out to be really fun, even though I was kinda feeling awkward about it. We had a little snack-ish dinner at this restaurant in an old train car that I walk by every day and have never gone in.
María Pepa talked to just about everyone. She seriously couldn´t stop commenting on how guapo Mike, the only boy on our trip, is. So then she went over to him and asked if he has a twin. He said no and she said that´s a real shame because she wanted to keep one of him in Spain with her. Then she insisted on taking all our pictures with him. It was really hysterical. So now I don´t really have any pictures of just me and her...but it´s kind of more silly this way. I´m going to print one out and give it to her in a frame tomorrow with some flowers. (I tried to upload it on this page but, alas, this internet is too slow...I can´t wait to be back to my high-speed connection!)
Afterwards we saw a really great flamenco show. There was a flutist, a guitarist, a singer, one male dancer, and three female dancers. They were amazing - it was definitely the best one I´ve been to. Jorge really loved it, and afterwards we made sure to get a group picture with him. We´re going to frame that too and give it to him on Monday from the whole group. Everyone´s getting sick so we didn´t end up going to the club or anything (even though María Pepa said she would come, she decided she was too cold and went home).
So yeah, I´m just finishing up Christmas shopping and tying loose ends. I can´t wait to be back!
In other news, UD lost in the national championships to Appalachian State last night. Booo! :( I think Kaitlyn went down to Chattanooga to see the game so I´ll try and get a full report from her... Hope all is well in the homeland! See you soon!
