Mi mama bursts into my room and says something completely foreign, as in not even Spanish..
And that's how my day started.. apparently Erin tried to teach mi mama English but the sounds are so different she couldn't even repeat what she said haha.
But we shortly found out that she was saying Let's go drink wine! We met up with her brother-in-law, su cunado, and basically went bar hopping through Valla. In addition to excellent wine we had deep fried shrimp and patatas con salsa, basically potatoes with a gravy for appetizers. Then we had the same meal we had at La Bola Taberna but it tasted a ton better because it wasn't all mixed in and she explained what all the meats were. Churizos y cerdo.
Juan Carlos asked what we normally eat in the states and I replied with puerco.. thinking that that was the word for pork. But apparently it means we eat chicas gordas (fat girls). Haha, oops.
We also watched youtube video of his son, Hugo, singing in English and Juan Carlos called him to tell Hugo that he was with two blonde girls. Being blonde, chicas rubias, is a big deal here and the first thing anyone comments on.
Here is Hugo singing.
Maria Jesus kept saying how terrible his hair looked because it was too long.
Juan Carlos was the classic Spaniard, hair slicked back and he smoked 4 cigareets INSIDE right after lunch haha. Very different, but very typical.
Now it is time for a siesta so we can go out tonight! Maria showed us many bars, discotecas and a Plaza that is for young people to party. She is very excited for us to go out and experience Valla at night.
