I’ve been trying to update for the past couple days, but everything’s just been so crazy lately that I haven’t known where to begin. I had an interview for a job, an amazing job, cooking for a restaurant that opens in January. It seems like they liked me and ‘would love to work’ with me, I just have to sort out my visa situation, which may mean that I return home to the United States for a couple weeks…
That’s been taking up most of my time and energy, because even before I return to New York I have to find a proper language school in Barcelona and enroll in classes so that when I show up at the Spanish Consulate in the U.S, I have proof that I am here to study for, at least, six months. I guess this is what a ‘travel’ blog is for, huh? Letting people learn from my chaos here, the secrets to moving to Spain… well we’ll see. Keep you fingers crossed for me.
So first I sat down and wrote a post about my house, with pictures and all that, but it was kind of boring, pretty uninspired. Then yesterday we had an impromptu dinner party here because three Italians (from Napoli) came over and made SO MUCH pizza! It was beautiful and you’ll get a chance to meet my roomates too.
But first, meet the Italians…
Well, actually none of these people are Italian. They’re Catalán, Swedish, American, Serbian.
These are the Italians.
Gianluigi, Gianluca, y Mireilla
They’re too busy cooking
And cooking
They made three huge Pizzas. The first one, a simple ‘margarita.’ The second, which you see here had (on the left side) Potates, Jamon, y Mozzarella and (on the right side), Champiñones, Cebollas, y Sobrassada. The last pizza had black olives, two kinds of meat, and cheese.
Here is Gianluca serving the first pizza “MAKE WAY!” he screams. Behind him is Valentino, my flatmate from Budapest, and in front Jakob, from Sweden. To the right is Oliver, from Barcelona, another one of my flatmates. We are cooking a giant dinner around Christmas for his whole family, as they will all be coming to our flat for dinner!
Ora stiamo mangiando…
Mmm…
