tapas y sangria y cervezas, oh my

last night my art history professor, Curra, the best woman in the entire world, took some of my class and her other class (6 people showed up, out of 26) and took us out behind plaza mayor for tapas!  And she paid for everything! Such a nice nice woman.

First we went to get bocadillos de calamares (fried calamari sandwiches), which are very typical of spain. We had those and beer, they were good.  Then we walked around and sat down in a tapas restaurant and she ordered everything.  We got (and I ate everything, be proud!), tortilla española (egg and potato tortilla), morcillas (blood sausage), chistorra de navarra (fried chorizo sausage), pimientos de padrón (roasted green peppers), croquetas, y pulpo (octopus).  Yeah, I ate octopus.  Then we walked to this bar where they have beer from all over the world and I got a cherry Belgian beer.  Literally best night ever and I will seriously miss Curra.
