Telefónica y más fotos de el fin de semana pasado
So today a girl in our group was super sick. She looked like death. The teacher was freaking out, so we had a pretty hectic morning. After they worked our her health care, we went to a professional visit at Telefónica. We took the metro for a long time. Telefónica is like it's own city. It has everything from a shopping area to a doctor and dentist office to a glasses store to everything. There was WiFi throughout the entire complex and it was a really big complex. Everything was 3D TVs and virtual ladies. They have solar panels and recycled paper. Just an all around grand company. It was a really nice visit. Afterwards I wrote my paper for it and then hung out with Casey for a while. We were supposed to do work and buy our train tickets to Barcelona but instead we just hung out and talked about movies. Tío Jorge showed up to pick me up for dinner! We went down the street to this huge indoor market that I didn't know existed. It was really nice, we went to a couple of tapas bars and I had a lot of juice and fish. When my first juice came I didn't notice that the top was screwed off for me but they guy had just left the cap there. So I went to shake it up and juice went EVERYWHERE. My lap was soaked. I tried to play it off and smile but I was really hoping that my lap would dry before we left for the next place. All the tapas places were really nice and Tío Jorge told me about his transition to Spanish culture from Colombia. It was really interesting. Then my Tía showed up and we went to a restaurant with typical northern Spanish food. They brought out the hugest tuna tortilla I have ever seen and some fried blue cheese balls. Realize I am already stuffed and now I am eating a giant tuna pie and FRIED BLUE CHEESE BALLS, the densest thing you can ever eat. It was all really good but I was so full. I already had so many tapas and like 6 juices. It was nice hanging out with them though. It was a 3 and 1/2 hour dinner. When I got back I hung out with Lauren and Casey talking about our project and our pasts. I showed them an OLD picture, it was really funny. Now I am about to go pass out! =]
