La Feria--Day 2


Today neither Marissa nor I had school, so we tried to get most of our errands for the weekend done.  Many of the businesses are closed or have reduced hours through Monday because of la Feria.  We had to figure out some problems with our phones, and Rebecca came to town with her NIE (Número de Identificación Extranjera), which meant we thought we could put her information down so we could get Internet.  Long story short, we were able to put her name down and bring home the modem for Internet, but we got back to the flat and failed miserably at getting it to work.  We will have to go back on Tuesday for help.

This afternoon we went back to Feria with the goal of checking out more of the animals.  Let me just tell you, I am almost positive that I saw every species of cow/bull that lives in Spain.  Here are a few examples (well they will be here, when I get a chance to upload the pictures…have I mentioned how much I hate not having Internet all the time?). 

We also saw sheep, which were definitely not white as snow, goats, and horses, which were very pretty and fun to pet.  Many of them were super friendly and living the good life, safe from every being eaten by the many humans who admired them.  We went back home to take a mini-siesta and make dinner.  Then we were on a super awesome mission to find “real” churros.  I had some terrible fake ones at orientation, but I wanted to try real Spanish, Feria Churros.  So we met up with our friend Elodie and headed back to Feria.  Suffice it to say, we were successful.  The churros, which we ate with this mix of hot chocolate/melted chocolate, were AH-MAZING! I think I may have a new dessert to add to my list of many favorites.  After, we watched some of the dancing and headed back to the flat for a good night sleep.
