La Vida Dulce

Hola!

The cooking class I went to last week was AMAZING!!! We learned how to make the tomato/bread appetizer, chicken paella, Spanish potato omelet, gazpacho and Catalan Cream for dessert. I can't wait to make a Spanish dinner for my family and perhaps for my roommates when I return back home!

A lot has happened this week! First off, I signed up for a language partner through my school. Through the program I am paired with a Spanish speaking native student and we are expected to meet up for language and culture exchange. In addition, the program hosts a ton of guided tours during the semester including a tour around Tibidabo (one of the 3 main mountains in Barcelona), Dali's Museum, the History of Catalonia Museum, and much, much more. Our orientation for the program begins on Friday!

I also booked my first trip this week! In late February I will be heading to Seville (a city in Southern Spain) and then traveling to Morocco during a four day weekend! In Morocco we will be going to Chefchaouen, Tangiers and Tetouan, which are all in Northern Morocco. I can't wait!

A few photos from my walks around the city:
