Last week went decent except that I’ve been fighting a cold the whole time. And therefore I haven’t run in what feels like forever. Hopefully I can be back at it this week. My Wednesday classes were frustrating like usual, however Thursday’s went better. My little fan club is still going and still adorable. Little Jorge asked me this week “cómo se dice ‘amor’ en ingles?” which means “how do you say ‘love’ in English?” haha. Too cute.
On Thursday night Eddie and I got together with some of the teachers from his school like usual. They made me try pig ear. It wasn’t too bad actually. The cartilage part was kinda gross, but the other parts were alright. And I’m officially friends with the owner of the restaurant/bar that we always go to with the teachers. I ran into him in our building because he lives on the first floor and he said that if we ever need anything we can ask him and his family. I love how basically everyone I’ve met in this town says that, and I feel like they all really mean it. And then later we made the connection that he lives directly below us and therefore it was his patio that my pants fell on. Now if it happens again, I won’t be so embarrassed.
On Friday I wanted to travel to one of the nearby towns but it was rainy and crappy weather so I opted not to. However I did finally open a bank account here. Woo-hoo. In the evening Eddie and I went to hang out with Felipe and his friends and they were a lot of fun. They said they’re going to make me as Spanish as possible by the time I leave.
Saturday Eddie and I went on a random trip to Madrid with Felipe. We went to a Mexican celebration in the one Plaza, got some good food and met up with Felipe’s Mexican friend, Antonio, who was pretty funny. Later the 2 of them and I caught the metro to another part of the city and Eddie went to meet up with one of his friends. We went for food and a beer and then off we went to an Arcade Fire concert. Antonio’s girlfriend was supposed to go but she had to back out so they gave me her ticket. It was a lot of fun. They’re this group of 8 Americans/Canadians who like all change instruments for different songs. I only recognized one of their songs but they had a really good show. I was really impressed. And this was a huge show. There were at least 15,000 people there. And I love that I was one of few that understood every word they said between songs. Haha. After the concert we hung out a bit before going to Felipe’s girlfriend’s family’s house where we spent the night. But yeah, it was a really fun, rather random weekend. I loved it. However, because of the concert, I had to miss the Madrid game and of course this is the game where my Ramos scores… Thank goodness for news programs that care to show highlights.
