Now don´t go getting the wrong idea...it was professor approved! The Barcelona soccer team won the Championship game Wednesday night and this was our celebration. We took the tram to San Juan beach again...the less crowed, cleaner, bigger beach down the way. It was a beautiful day with giant waves! Granted they were giant for the Mediterranean sea...usually pretty calm here. So we spent the day attempting to body surf and jumping waves and laying in the sun...it was so much fun! We had to leave the beach a little early to have time to shower and get ready for a trip to a vineyard. The University took a bus out to the vineyard...there were close to 30 international students that went. It was definitely an event set up for people who know little about wine...they didn´t even give us different classes for each type of wine! We tried one white, one blush, and one red. The white was pretty good. It was also really interesting seeing how wine is made though the presentation was in Spanish so I didn´t catch some of the technical descriptions, lol.
On our walk home from the bus, Jenny and I stopped at our favorite tapas place. We are attempting to try all the tapas before we leave, so we never order the same thing twice...usually with a glass of wine though not yesterday, lol. The two servers/bar tenders know us know and always talk with us as we sit up at the bar and eat our tapas...I would consider us regulars, lol.
The trip to Granada this weekend was cancelled since the minimum amount of students didn´t sign up...big bummer. So tomorrow Jenny and I are headed to Valencia. We are planning to spend the weekend there seeing art and cathedrals and gonig to see one of the most famous aquariums in Europe. It should be fun!
The group at San Juan!
Looking down at half of the beach
At the vineyard with lots of barrels of wine.
There was a John Deere on our way to the vineyard... M. Nicolas and Sons.
This is the only tractor they had out front, lol.
