Spanish Cooking Class

I caved last night and did my first thing that is catered to tourist. No I did not do a bright red double decker bus tour. I saw a poster in my hostel for a group doing a cooking class three nights a week. It caught my eye and it seemed like a way I could be social in Barcelona since I wasn't really meeting people in my hostel.

All the courses of dinner were deliciously explained how to prepare them and their history. We started with Sangria, which we continued to make jug after jug throughout dinner (A Canadian and I taught the Aussies and New Zealanders at our table the word pitcher, they kept thinking we were saying picture.

Next came some tapas, gazpacho, and paella. The woman leading the class had been vegetarian for 10 years, so she made a separate little pan of paella for those three veggies in the class. She said she always caters to the veggies, even if there is only one.

I am heading up to the coast of France sometime this afternoon. To the town of Cerbere. It is a coastal town where my overnight train to Paris is leaving from.

Coming quickly to an end. See many of you soon.

You have to tell me the recipe for sangria that you used, OK?

Have fun in Paris! Take lots of photos of all the art nouveau.

Sad your trip is ending already, but looking forward to seeing you very soon! :)
