Today we had a chance to join a tour of some of the bakeries that make the tarajas for Easter. Tarajas are slices of stale bread soaked in either honey milk or sugar wine and then fried with a little egg. They are like amazing French toast slices. We met up with our guide, a crazy woman with colors all over her pants. No, she really had colors on her pants – like red, blue, turquoise, mauve – it was crazy. She walked us around the city center and showed us some of the oldest bakeries and explained the different pastries that they make there. It was fun to see some of the places but we were sad that we didn't get to actually have any pastries.
After the tour was over we were talking to Doug for a little bit and he invited us to have dinner with Levonne. Levonne is the coordinator from Fullerton College who had come to Spain to conduct a site evaluation to see how the program was working out. She's a crazy old lady but pretty nice, so we said sure why not. Natalia, Josune, Alex, Doug and I met her at her hotel and then walked across the street to an Italian restaurant. We had a great time talking about our trip and teasing Josune about bossing us around to eat healthy. After a few hours we said goodnight and headed back home.
