Study break

The plan was to get out of class at 6:50 PM and start studying by 7 PM. In Spain they would call me a "friki" [free-kee], which is basically the hybrid of a freak and a nerd. You'd rather just be a lovely little nerd? Well that isn't really plausible because Spaniards use this word one-size-fits-all style. But all this talk is irrelevant because I didn't follow the plan. Instead, I went to one of the main plazas with Claudia and Caitlin because they invited me to go postcard shopping with them. Speaking of postcards, well, I have failed to send them like I should have. But hopefully that will change!
Afterwards, we went to a popular eatery called Cien Montaditos where most items on the menu are only 1 euro each on Wednesdays. We still had to eat dinner with our families, so we ordered a couple simple things to snack on. I ordered a montadito (which is basically a teeny tiny sub) with brie, pulled pork, green peppers, and jamón serrano. Those things can really hold a lot! I was impressed with the little guy. We also shared some fries with four dipping sauces: ketchup, tzatziki sauce, some peppery bbq sauce, and an unidentifiable sauce that tasted a bit like the salsa in Chihuahua but without the spice.

These pictures were taken with my webcam because it was the only type of camera I had with me, friki-style.
