I'm on a boat!

On Friday, our planned activity was a boat ride around the Port of Tarragona and dinner was also on the boat. So, I imagined something like the Baltimore Harbor Cruises with a little restaurant in inside. Imagine my surprise when we boarded a pirate ship!!!

Here I am on the boat (I mean, pirate ship) with my teacher, Belkys!

The ride was really nice, until the sun went down and we all started getting really cold. We were also getting really hungry, and nobody would tell us what was for dinner since it was a surprise. We were on the boat for two hours, and then they had us get off the boat while they set up dinner. We waited for about a half hour (rather impatiently) then returned to the boat. They had set up long tables on and below deck, and HUGE bowls of fresh mussles and bread were waiting for us. I probably ate 20 mussles!!! Then, they brought fideua for our main dish. I've had fideua about four times since I've been here because it's such a popular dish. It's similar to paella, but instead of rice, it is a type of pasta. It hit the spot after a long boat ride!
