Last night I went to Doner Kebab with the Pamplonians and then to the park to hang out. Natalie and I headed back pretty early and watched a few episodes of That 70s Show and then went to sleep. We slept in until 11 this morning! It was great. For breakfast we had Nougat Pillows. Surprise! We watched some more of That 70s Show until it Merche came home and it was time for lunch. Lunch today was "Mexican." We had tortilla chips with BBQ Sauce and Sour Cream. Mom, I miss your homemade salsa. After the chips we had some kind of chicken and dipped it in the BBQ sauce. Does this sound Mexican to you? ....it shouldn't. Missing you, Jalisco's.
After our interesting lunch, Natalie and I got ready to meet Mitchell at the La Morea mall. Our bus was super late so we decided to take another bus and walk the rest of the way to the mall so Mitchell didn't have to wait on us as long. Once we got off the bus, we asked two girls (early twenties I'm guessing) which way the mall was, just to be sure. They pointed us in the right direction and we continued walking. After about a minute a car stops next to us. It's the two girls that just gave us directions. They asked if we wanted a ride to the mall as they were going there too. We said sure and got in. They were so nice! Natalie and I agreed that we would not have done this if it were two guys. We're not going to be like those girls from Taken I promise. Please don't worry about us. Pamplona is such a safe city. Once we got to the mall we met Mitchell in the food court and started shopping! I bought a plaid shirt (I've wanted one for about a year now, maybe longer) and a belt. My package still isn't here with my belt so I had to buy one. Oh well, it's cute and it was only 8 Euros.
Natalie, Mitchell, and I took the bus back into Pamplona around 7:30. Mitchell had to go home, but Natalie and I walked around before Natalie had to meet her host family. We went to Taberna and bought muffins and then fell in love with these really great shoes in one of the million shoe stores in this town. They are 30 Euros and I'm going to buy them. Pronto. I'm in love with these shoes! Natalie likes them in grey and I like them in brown. Perfect. After Natalie met her host family I walked home. I found out the times for church tomorrow. 10-11-12. Also perfect. I'm excited to go. It's been about 5 weeks. That's the longest I think I have ever gone. I'm going to start going every week now that I know the time and the place. It's just that Saturday night is the night to go out....that's why pretty much no one goes to church regularly here. Everyone will say they are Catholic but only about 3% actually go to church. It's funny.
I got home and no one was here. I skyped with my family for about 20 minutes. They finally fixed the internet connection and it is fabulous now. So much better. My dad was so excited. My dad was also going to Poncho's today and I was so jealous. I miss Poncho's! Especially compared to my "Mexican" lunch today. When my host family came home Merche made me a ham and cheese sandwich. She wasn't hungry so she didn't make a salad tonight. The ham and cheese was really good though. So American.I am exhausted. I have another great day ahead of me. Church, the market with Merche, and then skyping with everyone imaginable. Dios mio! My Spanish is improving everyone. I'm starting to feel it! Finally, right?! Have a good night everyone. It's already 1:34 am for me. Oh my. Go Buckeyes! Besos y abrazos para todas.
