Incómodo. Our class project? The most awkward I've felt since I've been to Spain, but I"ll explain later.
Going back, we didn't end up leaving Santurzi until 4:45 AMish, and it's about 20 metro stops away so officially did not get home until 6 AM...ahhh! But fun regardless.
So yes, we had to ask 10 questions about Latin America: Christopher Columbus, the indigenous people, etc. After you build up the confidence to ask a stranger in Spanish if they'd like to participate and they just look at you like you're crazy, it's so hard to keep asking. We found that people do NOT want to be filmed, and secondly, a lot of Spaniards do not know or are not interested in Latin America so they do not want to appear unintelligent. What an experience. Well, it definitely taught me a lot but it was also very uncomfortable. I think I needed it, but that's enough for me for now! It's interesting to learn about Spain in this way and the perceptions of other cultures. Some people were really nice, others dismissed us, oh learning.
Anyways, today is Tuesday which means it is 50% off at this pastry shop nearby, and Brittany and I were going to go and eat delicious Basque pastries!! Definitely waking her up in like 15 minutes, sorry Brittany, I need my food! Tomorrow, we are going to Pamplona to the Sanfermines festival to see the running of the bulls, so excited! And then we're taking a trip to San Sebastian but the weather is supposed to be crummy and rainy so we might not be able to enjoy the beautiful beaches, sad day. Pray to the sun gods for a great beach day!
