Edad de Pavo.

This will probably be the most random blog yet.

Edad de Pavo is a new frase I learned here in Segovia. Edad de Pavo means you are in the primetime of your life, when you have no worries, no responsibilities, and like to party, and you have a hard time concentrating in school. That basically describes a college student to a T.
I think Georgia Southern is in their Edad de Pavo. These past couple of weeks have flown by. I never thought I was ever going to leave Spain, but we are winding down the days very quickly and America is right around the corner. I am trying to seize the day, and do everything I can before I go home. So with that in mind, I have a few stories that have been going on for the past couple of weeks.
FOOD:

This past week I ate bacalao which is a common fish that most spainards eat.. It was delicious, and she fried it which made it even better. She kept the eyes in it though it was really weird. That poor fish was staring at me.

I also ate a kebap.. Which is turkish and ate french fries with the hottest ketchup of my life.

Eggs. I can not eat another egg. Please for the love of God. No MORE EGGS. ha. Eggs fried, scrambled, boiled, sunnyside up, eggs in pasta, eggs with some kind of lamb, eggs in a cream sauce, eggs on sandwiches, eggs in salad.. I sound like Bubba off of Forest Gump but instead of shrimp, with eggs.

One night this past week Raquel asked me to make dinner. So naturally I chose pancakes. But when I went to get the ingredients their is no syrup... How am I supposed to eat pancakes without having jarobe de arce (maple syrup) so I decided to use melted strawberry jelly. They did not notice the difference, and they loved them!!!!

During this past week also Raquel and I went on a walk to the outskirts of Segovia with her two friends. It was so funny hearing them gossip in Spanish and talking about their husbands and children and all of their problems. Sometimes I forget that all people have the same problems.

But we walked all the way towards the mountain wear the mountain looks like a dead woman buried in the mountains...

Here is the legend although there are many versions. There was a beautiful woman who fell in love with this man and his best friend. Well one day the woman was pregnant but did not know which man it was from. So both of the men were fighting with swords, well the woman got in the fight because she did not want to ruin their friendship. Well one of the men ended up stabbing her while she was pregnant. This is why there is a huge hump in the picture because when she died she was still pregnant. What a horrible legend right? ha but the picture sure does look like a pregnant woman laying down..
