FATTIES IN SPAIN

Sunday night we went out to dinner with group. We ate at an Italian restaurant that near the hospital. It was called Pizzeria Ciao Bella. It was did not look like an Italian restaurant at all. When we first walked in I thought it was a Mexican restaurant. There were cow sculls on the walls, kind of strange for an Italian restaurant.

This dinner was proof that our group has become the biggest fatties in Spain. We are so use to eating enormous portions, that when we are given something less than enormous we become very disgruntled. The dinner started out with salad and bread, which is typical. We demolished the salad within seconds. The waitresses seemed a bit appalled at how fast we consumed the salad. The next few plates were very interesting. The waitresses brought out an individual serving size of pasta to share between 8 people. This amounted to around 4 noodles each. Everyone was getting really worried that this was the only food we were going to get. We are so concerned with food here it is slightly disgusting. We had a couple different pastas like this, each of us only getting about four noodles each. Everyone was extremely angry until they brought out about 30 different pizzas. It turned out there was plenty to go around, and nobody went hungry. The food did not end there though. After the pizza the waitresses brought out dessert. There was an array of crepes, ice cream, cream puffs, and tiramisu. I thought dessert was the best part. It totally made up for the four noodles each. I just love my chocolate!

I went out for a drink with Susie, her friends from JMU and a couple other girls. I discovered the most amazing drink ever. Well, it is actually beer, but it has a lemony flavor and kind of tastes like ginger ale. I know it sounds weird, but it is a lot better than the crappy beer Mahou beer they serve at all the beers.
