Tuesday was another day of no class, well technically. My translation class had a field trip to the Gaudi Center in Reus, which is the next town over from Tarragona. For our translation project, we had to translate a booklet that goes along with the Gaudi Center from Spanish to English. We used the field trip to check over our work and make sure our project was good to go. After walking around the Gaudi Center, we had some free time to explore the town of Reus. It was a really cute town with some boutiques and coffee shops. All the towns in Spain have these little squares with outdoor seating in the middle and little cafés or restaurants surrounding the seating, we are in love with them! We got some café and sat around chatting for a little while and then decided to shop around. We found some really cute stores and each of us found a little something to buy! We headed back to our bus and when we got back to Tarragona it was time for lunch and we were all starving.
After lunch, some people headed to the beach for the afternoon but then the rest of us just hung out and needed to work on all the final projects and assignments that we have to complete for this week. I have a ten minute presentation for my culture and medicine class on Friday, so I was working on getting my powerpoint completed. Our work has been sneaking up on us and we are all trying to get it done so we can enjoy this week because it is our last week with the entire group...un día triste!
For dinner, we went to a restaurant called "El Tiberi" which is a buffet with typical catalana food...oh man it was delicious! I am normally not a buffet girl, but the food was really fresh and everything was really delicious - ranging from chicken to a beef stew type dish to pasta. And for dessert, there were cream puffs, crepes, ice cream, and tons of different types of cake. It was so good. AND they gave us Sangria with our meal, of course! And then after dessert was café con leche...of course! I love how Spain drinks coffee literally all the time, it is my kind of place! I was seriously so stuffed after that meal, I could have gone to bed right then and there!
Tuesday night = salsa night and our two professors were coming with us tonight...hollaaa! Most of us headed straight from dinner to Highlands, which is the bar that we go to. I think a lot of us, including our professors, were pretty tired because we spent most of the night chatting in the bar area and didn't do too much dancing. We all danced to what we call the "zumba songs" because they are these line dances that everyone does together and they are super fun! After hanging around, we left around 1am to get some sleep. I was so wiped and ready to crawl into bed. All in all it was another great day in Tarragona.
