Last night our group attended the Spanish version of the musical Jesus Christ Superstar. It was actually called Jesu Christo Superstar. I have seen this musical several times in English, so following along was not that hard for me. The songs sound totally different though, obliviously because it’s a different language. I always enjoy a good musical, but I kept thinking they were going to start singing in English sadly it never happened. The dancing and the costumes were very impressive though, and I the set was pretty sweat. They even had a scene at the end with a smoke machine.
By the time the play was over we were so hungry. A couple of us had a huge craving for Mexican food. All we eat is Spanish food every single day, so the opportunity to eat something different is so rare. We got a 15 euros stipend for dinner and set out to fulfill our Mexican food cravings. We found one restaurant right off the Plaza Mayor, but unfortunately it was closing and could not serve us. Unable to satisfy our need for salsa and spicy food, we settled on an Italian restaurant. The Italian restaurant was still good and satisfied my longing for vegetables, since were rarely get anything green in our house. Dinner turned out to be really fun and we all stuffed our faces and laughed the night away.
Today at lunch I bit the bullet and asked our Madre if she could make me more vegetables and less meat. I also mentioned that I really liked her cooking, but I could not eat all the meat I have been forcing down my throat. I did not say it exactly like that, but I hope she gets what I mean. I will just have to see how dinner goes tonight. I also asked her if we could have coffee with caffeine in it, because Sarah and I thought the coffee she was giving us was decaffeinated. We were horribly mistaken, and our Madre made a big deal about how the coffee had a lot of caffeine in it. Oh well I guess things got lost in translation.
