It had been a good long while since Abby and I had had an Us day. And we were well past due for one! We woke up around the same time, lazily had breakfast and got ready for the day. We left the apartment a little after two in the afternoon to go on a walk around Alcalá with a bag of chuches, which is a type of gummy candy. They are a surprisingly big deal here and you can buy everywhere! Each kind is in an individual bin and you go around with tong and a plate or a bag and pick the ones you want. There are about thirty different favors and colors and shapes to choose from.
When it was finally time, we wandered over to Cafe Continental to set up shop and do some serious homework. She had a tea. I had a salmon tosta with a beer. We're clearly slightly different people. Haha! It's been a long time since I had a homework session in a cafe with a friend, and it was a really nice change of pace. :)
After we spent our necessary two hours homeworking, we went to the grocery store to buy ingredients for strawberry shortcake and caipirinha. ;) I think it's safe to say that we worked harder on our baking and cocktailing than we did on our homework. Haha! But boy did it pay off - the shortcakes were amazing and the caipirinha was delicious... So delicious that when Abby accidentally spilled hers on the counter and Katie yelled at her in her best sorority voice to lick that up and not waste a drop, she actully did it! Bahaha! Needless to say, she enjoyed the Justin Bieber SNL that much more. ;) hahaha!
XOXO
