One Saturday, Michelle and I decided to hang out and check out some gourmet store she wanted to see. I invited Luisa along and we met up with Michelle in Barcelona. When we got there, a girl named Inge, an event planner from Brussels, had met up with Michelle as well. The two of them had met the night before at some dinner and Inge was interested in going to the gourmet store also.
So the four of us went to the store and I was excited to see some Asian food there. I didn't get any but it's good to know where I can get some if I crave it. While at the store, Michelle invited us to have lunch at her place. On the walk to her apartment, we stopped at an Italian shop/restaurant,where they sold fresh pasta, homemade tiramisu, and italian wine. It was wonderful.
While preparing lunch, Michelle called Rebeca, a girl she met in her Catalan class and invited her to join us for lunch. Rebeca is from Taiwan and is married to a Catalan. They had met in California where they were both doing their masters and is now working as a translator.
We had a nice long wonderful lunch of chicken sausage and pepper pasta with a nice bottle of Italian champagne, and for dessert, tiramisu and tea. During lunch, Rebeca showed us her new purchases from Zara where she was shopping prior to lunch. We then decided to go shopping and check out the winter sale, or rebajas. After some window shopping, we continued our very girly day and saw a romantic movie. Up in the Air was sold out so we had to settle for that Morgan's movie with Hugh Grant and Sarah Jessica Parker. It was a terrible, terrible movie, but Hugh Grant somehow always puts a smile on my face.
By the time the movie was done, it was late at night and time to go home. We had such a good time. It's always nice to be able to talk (or vent) to other girls about things boys just wouldn't understand. Every once in a while, a girl just needs a good girls' day out.
