dalawampu't tatlo- Kasarap

 A week ago, I was looking at the map of Barcelona to see what was around the place I would be staying, and I found a Filipino restaurant called, Kasarap. It was kind of far, but I looked at the menu and I got so excited about eating lumpia and sinigang! I had to go!

 On Saturday, we had free time for the rest of the day after our tour that ended at a shopping center called Las Ramblas. I went to visit two amazing houses designed by Antoni Gaudí. After that, I set off to get dinner at this restaurant.

 When I walked into the restaurant, I immediately smelled the aroma of fresh-cooked rice. It reminded me of being at my Lola and Lolo's house. There was a huge Filipino family sitting at a table with cake, celebrating a birthday. There were little kids running around and laughing. I sat at a table and ordered lumpia and pansit guisado. It came pretty quickly and was so warm and delicious. I was so happy. I told the ladies working there that it made me so happy and reminded me of home. They were so excited that I loved it.

 I'm thankful for this chance I had to have some amazing Filipino food. My Lola's lumpia is way better, but that only makes me even more excited to come home. Eighteen more days until I fly back home! I can't wait to see my grandparents, my puppy, and just rest.

What a bittersweet sentence... I still cannot believe I am here, living in Toledo, Spain, studying literature and eating authentic paella and Spanish tortilla de patatas.  Last night, Álvaro and I went to the church of the Jesuitas. His friend was going to be singing there, so he invited us to come. After getting some delicious croquettes and walking in the rain, we went to the church to see what it was about.   It...
