Today we had our staff Christmas party in El Cuervo...and let me just say, it was a feast like I've never seen! We went to a little restaurant near the school called Kubala. We were there for over 5 hours, and the entire time, plate after plate of food were brought out - and of course endless Spanish wine and beer as well. :) Everything from Spanish ham and cheese, shrimp, pate, fish, chicken, pork, chorizo, croquetas...and then when I was stuffed, the waiter came back to take our entree orders. I couldn't believe it! The conversation and laughter never stopped - it was amazing. We also exchanged our "Amigos Invisibles" gifts, which is something like Secret Santas. Then we had our coffee, dessert, and chupito (dessert liquor)...wow, I was stuffed.
Afterwards, some of us went to a local bar - including the director of the school. Spaniards sure know how to celebrate! Another round of drinks, some dancing, and lots of laughing. I'm honestly not sure how long the party lasted because I had to catch the train back to Sevilla to attend my volleyball Christmas party, but it was an experience (and meal) that I will never forget!

Yep, those are all ham legs - an obligatory sight at every good Spanish bar.
Toasting the staff and holidays.
