| Mouths stuffed with grapes! |
New Years this year was pretty low key. I went over to Abby's apartment for dinner, which was Filipino food that Ralph's mom made us. It was so yummy! When it got closer to midnight, we turned on the TV to see the Spanish New Years shows, which were all musical performers, and the host that literally changed her dress between every song... it was absurd! We saw her in at least 7 or 8 outfits!!! The tradition here in Spain is that at midnight, when the clock has its 12 strokes of midnight, you are supposed to eat your 12 grapes. If you complete in time, you will have good luck. If not... well, that is not good. The problem with this is, the grapes here in Spain are very difficult for this task. They are HUGE and they have SEEDS in them! With all the pressure to finish all the grapes, I found myself wondering how many people choke to death each New Year. I mean, it was stressful! Seconds never went by so fast! I tried my damnedest to get all those grapes in on time, but to no avail. It looks like everyone there will be having bad luck this year, except for Annie, who is apparently the grape eating champion. She had her game face on and everything! Even when we tried to cheat a little and de-seed some of the grapes, it was still just so hard! Anyway, Happy New Year! 1-1-11!!!!
