Last night we met up with our intercambio buddies again. We met Alejandro and Fernando and their friends for tea. We went to a nice little place overlooking the Alhambra. I satisfied my need for Chai tea and had Chai Chino te... the real stuff! It wasn't a mix of sugar and flavorings but a tea pot brewed with real cinnamon and spices! It was fantastic :)
We went to a little Chocolate festival. The best idea any city has ever had! An entire festival devoted to chocolate :) Alejandro was very excited to buy a cocoa seed, so that he can plant a cocoa plant in his backyard. The pod itself was much bigger than I was expecting. Ellen and I opted for a crepe with melted milk chocolate... yummm.
They were very excited to take us to this unusual place for dinner. They couldn't stop talking about how good it was and how much we would love it. By the time we got there they had hyped it up and I was pretty excited. We turned the corner and it was a little hole-in-the-wall pizza place :)I had to do my best to act very excited. They couldn't believe we had them everywhere in the states. It was a gold mine to them. The pizza was very good :)
It has been so nice to hang out with locals that live here. Especially because they are a little bit older and more mature... it is a nice break from some of the crazy american students!
