i spent the weekend in navarra visiting the two pueblos my host parents grew up in. we slept over friday and saturday in my host dad’s parent’s house, who are straight out of a movie. we spent saturday morning in el campo picking apples, grapes, and figs. we returned for la comida and sergio and i watched a girl’s soccer game in the afternoon. sunday was another eventful day beginning with a scenic walk around the pueblo lagarra, followed by a visit to cristina’s pueblo puente la reina. there was a big festival in the main plaza, there always seems to be a festival happening somewhere in spain, and the streets were filled with people, food stands, and specialty booths. i was introduced to over 20 people, mostly family members of cristina, and cannot remember a single name. we then visited the special pepper market in puente la reina and headed back to lagarra to eat and pack up for home. another crazy and fun weekend!
