Don’t ask what we are doing, "dancing"…
One night we had a demonstration of “Quemado” This is a very common Spanish drink from the North West part of Spain. There is a little bit of a magic/witch spell type stuff that goes along with it, and we had a few of the participants acting as witches and saying the poems. Brian, our MC (master of ceremonies) the guy who talked all week, was making the drink while the witches talked. It consisted of almost pure alcohol (smelled like rubbing alcohol) coffee beans, lemon grind, apples, sugar and maybe more but that is all I can remember. Then he cooked it, burned it, for about 15 minutes to lessen the severity of the drink. We all had some at the end, and it was NOT good. Here are a few pictures of the ceremony and us trying the drink..
Here is the last night of hanging out.
We were trying to get a picture of the guys jumping in the air… it was very difficult.. but this is what we got
Closet to success we ever came to
Here is us with Brian, the Master of Ceremonies, we had a great time with him
The rest of the days flew by with talking and activities. I (Krystle) lost my voice about the 3rd day because we were talking for over 15 hours a day, and it was very difficult to continue doing all of the activities. The head person Laura gave me a little bit of extra free time which was nice, so I could sit and NOT talk! Anyway, it was a great experience and now we have many friends in Spain that hopefully someday we can come back to visit!
Here is the whole group
