Training

Sorry for the lack of contact. We've had a lack of access to internet due to some jam packed days.
Friday night, once we were all together finally, we were escorted out for tapas and kabobs by the Spain team. We were ridiculously exhausted but alive enough to eat. With tapas, all that you have to pay for is the drink and the tapas/food is free. My only complaint (Jesse) is that I went with a bunch of girls and after two drinks with two tapas (one a Spanish omelet and the other a Spanish hoagie type thing) they were all full. I was just getting started.
Saturday, we had our cross-cultural training with the team here. This team has some great people on it. They educated us about Granada, which has a unique history and blend of cultures. We had a good lunch with them of Spanish chicken around 2 pm which was weird and difficult for us Americans. That night, we ate at the convent, served by the nuns. Afterwards, we watched Spain beat Paraguay in the World Cup. The boys, Stefan, Josh, Jon, and Nick went out on the town to watch it. After Spain won, a couple of us went out for ice cream and ran into the boys. They were in the celebration in the square which had a huge fountain. Everyone was out on the square celebrating. I've never seen such a celebration of a sporting event. Cars were honkimg their horns incessantly. After one brave soul jumped into the fountain, everyone jumped in the fountain, including our boys, if you could imagine. It was quite the day! Can't wait for tomorrow. Go Spain!!
