I love hosting parties! Whether it's 4 people or 40 people, I enjoy preparing food, and having friends over. We recently had a couple over for our new 'fish tacos' that I mentioned here. We sat and ate and talked until the wee hours of the morning and although we had just met them, we felt like old friends. I just love it when that happens!
On Sunday night (due to the bank holiday on Monday) we had a little get together at our home. We invited friends from Spanish class, people we had met on the street, people in our discussion group, and our teammates. Jeff and I spent the whole day getting the house ready and putting together snacks and small plates.

We joked and laughed together, we arranged and rearranged the living
room, put together the perfect playlist, and hung garland (thanks mom!).
What a great night! We had about 15 people in total with 7countries represented: England, Australia, Venezuela, Spain, Scottland, United States, and Germany. I can't wait to throw another party!
*One of the best things about entertaining here (and just eating in general) is that we get to buy fresh ingredients daily from the market. Take a look at our new grocery shopping locations:

| Mercat de Santa Caterina |

| La Boqueria |
p.s. as much as we are loving hosting and meeting new people, and making friends, we are holding to our date night once (or twice) a week.

Thanks! :) My mom found the garland and sent it in a care package, she's the best!
