Tuesday it was back to class like usual...just translation though, so it wasn't too bad. After having a delicious lunch on campus, which we all had been missing, a bunch of the girls decided to hit up the mall (Parc Central) to go shopping! The mall is pretty sweet, lots of good stores with cute stuff, I was pretty excited to look around. I ended up getting a couple of tops and some perfume...I'm trying to limit how much I buy because I'm not exactly sure how it will all fit in my suitcase without being overweight, yikes!
After the mall, we had a cultural excursion. A little background info, in Tarragona part of their culture is to build these human castle towers in the streets during their city fiestas. So for our excursion, we got the opportunity to go on of their practices. Their biggest fiesta is in September, but there is also one in June which I will be here for. I am so excited to see them build these in the streets during the fiesta in June, it will definitely be a once in a lifetime experience. So basically, they have this team of 500 people who create these human castles in the streets and they are amazing. I cannot even describe how cool it was to watch them create these castles. They gather around the bottom and then one by one people climb on each other to build these towers...and little kids are on the top! When I saw them making the first one it made me so nervous, especially with the little kids. They are so high in the air and they are literally stacked on top of each other. It is crazy stuff, I can't even explain it!
After watching their practice, we headed back to the dorm and hung outside for a little bit because the weather was so nice. We were debating on whether to go to salsa or not, but ended up going to this little bar that is about 2 minutes away and ordering food because we were starving. It ended up being a relaxing night out with some good conversation, so I can't complain!
I've been trying to upload some pictures, but the internet here is pretty lame and is not cooperating. So frustrating. Another day, I guess...hopefully it will work tomorrow!
