Weekend Two: Santa Cruz de la Zarza

With Esme.
Chupitos (shots) of black liquor and blackberry.
With her friends at the local bar.

With all her friends at the disco.


I went to meet one of my roommates, Esme in her pueblo Santa Cruz de la Zarza an hour outside of Toledo. I took the train from Cuenca and she met me at the station with her mom. We went shopping for groceries. I met her dad and sister then Esme and I headed out the a bar to meet one of her friends. We drank wine that they make in her town from the vineyards. Her friend laughed when I spoke Spanish because she loved the "american" accent I have when I speak it.

Vino Rosado from Santa Cruz de la Zarza.

Mahou (beer) with tapas.

Tortilla espaƱola with jamon and cheese. My three favorites wrapped into one tapa.

Pork rinds.

Then on Saturday night we went out to the disco to meet up with all her friends. We spent the night dancing, drinking and practicing English/Spanish.

more to come,
