Day 5: It's all about the food...la comida

Tuesday's theme of class was the ever popular FOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  The kids learned about all the different types of Spanish food, many of which they have already tried.  The learned all about the ingredients, the dishes, etc....  All of this is tied to their afternoon activities.
We took the metro downtown and went to the amazing Mercado de San Miguel (San Miguel Market). It's not a typical market with lots of fruits, vegetables, cow carcasses, etc... It had some stand with fruits & meats, but mainly it was little mini-restaurants with tables in the middle.  The kids were split into groups and had a variety of challenges to accomplish around the market...like try a food you've never tried and video everyone eating it, talk with a local, ask them questions, and take a selfie lol  Just a variety of things.  The kids really enjoyed it and the boys, well, Brenner & Nico, even tried sea urchin!  #proudprofesoras
Kids had some free time for lunch and shopping and then we met back up for our next activity:  COOKING CLASS!!!  Donning aprons, they worked as a team and prepared gazpacho (cold, tomato soup), tortilla española (spanish omelet with eggs), paella (rice with & without seafood), and a cake.  The kids did amazing - and the food was delicious!!  They really enjoyed the class!!
Headed back to the hotel for a bit of down time and then went out for churros & chocolate!!!  Great way to end our food day!!!
