Day 49

After class this morning, I went home and relaxed for a while, read a book, watched "The Office" on DVD before going to Plaza San Miguel with Meredith for lunch. We went to Pizza Hut, which is quite a classy joint outside of the states -- white porcelain dishes, fancy desserts, good service. It was so nice that I felt compelled to eat my personal pepperoni pizza with a fork and knife. I went home for a bit before walking to the Blocks' house to head to English class, but I found out when I got there that Dave was sick, so the class was canceled. I went to Eden's house and had a fun night with her. We walked to an Italian restaurant and split some fettucine and lasagna, and then went to the Magdalena Market. We bought some fruit (mangoes and pomegranates, called granadas) -- the place in the picture was where we bought the mangoes -- and had a leisurely walk home. We watched some episodes of "Friends" while eating pomegranates and some alfajores (cookies with manjar blanco in the middle). Such a nice, relaxing night. While I love helping teach the class, it was kind of nice surprise to get to hang out with Eden.
