Meet My Familia Espanola

When I first arrived in Salamanca I posted about the people I was staying with and their dog Tango. After living in their home for 6 weeks, I've come to know them quite well, and enjoyed their company and friendship. We've had some amusing times and difficulties with language but always found ways to communicate. I was very thankful for Carmen's presence when I was sick for a few days. I decided to take them out for dinner on my last night in Salamanca. Consequently, we went to mine (& Jose Ramon's) favourite restaurant, Case de Chicos. This place specialises in seafood, Gallego (from Galicia) style and I really enjoyed it when Carmen and Jose took me there early in my stay. As we did then, we finished off with Orujo, a typical Gallego drink. A great night was had by all.

I also invited Rebecca, a fellow Don Quijote student who was staying with Carmen & Jose as well as we have become quite good friends. Rebecca is a lovely young women from Switzerland who is planning to commence university studies in September to become a Maths and History teacher. She already speaks German, French, very good English and quite good Spanish so she became my unofficial "tutor" from time to time when I just couldn't understand something. Thanks heaps, Rebecca.
