After giving the gifts to the friends who were to leave very soon, I took the rest of the ppl (who haven't been yet) to the Bodega El Gato at last. I reserved for 10 ppl, and later it seemed that we would need one more seat, and SURPRISE! For the first time they were nice and constructive on the phone, and made the impossible possible, to go more than the reserved number! (By the way afterwards Dez didn't show up with some bullshit revision excuses, so we were 10 after all. And it was sooooo good! We had my all time favorites with some bull tails *cola de toro* now i know, and a tremendous baked camembert with blueberry sauce....yes, orgasm. For 5 people in a row. :D We even got one round of free chupitos at the end. So i'm glad my last gato experience ended well. Everyone liked it, and Ahmed brought there his 2 new flatmates, 2 guys from France, who arrived 2 days before, for a GUESS WHAT? Erasmus semester in VLC. So their second evening they went out to one of the very best restaurants in the city.This place is really kind of an Erasmus-heritage, it was Elise who took us there in September, and she knew it from the 2 summer visitors of our flat, the 2 former Erasmus (of l'année passée). So ppl show one to the other and i'm glad that now as i meet ppl from the new Erasmus "generation" who came here, I can be useful and advise them good things or places to go. It makes one more sense of me having stayed here.

Cool. Afterwards we went out to calle Pepe :) with most of the ppl, to drink and dance until 4 am, then Sarah Ismail and me went to their place, and me too - in lack of energy - I slept there. And in the morning (afternoon, the spanish morning) there were 2 papers waiting for me, one tajine recipe, and a very moving letter. (ok, i don't remember how moving the letter actually was, but it moved me when i read it.)

Tough, qd mm, le fin. Mais c pas grave.
