January 21-23rd, Sucre Bolivia
Today was our last day of Spanish classes and the farewell was quite emotional. I really enjoyed the experience and would 100% recommend this to anyone traveling through Sucre looking to learn. I can't really say what level we're at, but we are so much better off than when we started.
Last night the 4 of us, 3 new Brits at the hostel and an Australian couple decided to barbeque in the hostel. So after Spanish class we all had our jobs of shopping, cutting, marinading or fire duty. The food was absolutely delicious! We had chicken, sausages, steak and a big salad. Unfortunately, every single steak we cook here is incredibly tough, I can't wait to get to Argentina. I loved the food, we even had ketchup and mayo which is quite a treat. At one point one of the girls was about to throw her piece of chicken neck away, and me and one of the boy's fought over it. No one understands how delish the neck is (Mama, if you're reading I bet your laughing at how I always manage to find the chicken neck!), even in Spanish class when they all thought I was making a mistake with the body parts!
We had such a blast, the company was great, and then decided to play an epic game called Kings Cup. It's a card game with set rules every time you pick a card, and is the funnest thing ever. We ended the night dancing on chairs and tables, downing drinks, screaming out lyrics of random songs and just being generally silly.
We are coming to the end of our time in Sucre and I am very sad to be leaving soon. The best thing about Sucre is the stray dogs - it's not the general mongrel in different colours as you see in India, but dachunds and cocker spaniels and other 'exotic' dogs. I'd definitely have a houseful of pets if I lived here!
Since we've been here, we haven't gone touristy sightseeing, so maybe we'll do that in our next few days. Though the only thing to see is dinosaur footprints (remember earlier when I was confused why there was so much dinosaur paraphanelia around?), but the reviews were not great and you don't get to go up close. We don't quite know yet where we're going to next, so stay tuned!
