I can't believe I've been here for almost a month! It's been business-as-usual around here, which I suppose is a good thing - that means I'm assimilating successfully!
Highlights of last weekend: tour of the Ambar brewery and museum. Couldn't understand a word the tour guide said, but there were conveniently located informational signage throughout. Seeing the old equipment was interesting, as was the fact that one ingredient, lupulus, is in the same family as marijuana. Definitely smelled similar, too! We didn't taste that, but we did get to taste different types of barley.
I am discovering how very bad I am at learning new languages. Maybe some people just aren't as naturally inclined; I think my problem is that I am a visual learner, so unless a word or phrase is written out, I will not remember it.
Trips to Barcelona this weekend, Madrid in March for a T-Swizzle concert, and Italy (Rome and Naples) in April.
