This is Joaquin, my language intercambio in Cadíz. He teaches at a primary school and has been learning English the past few years. Shirley and I spent two hours every weekday afternoon walking around Cadíz or sitting in cafés practicing Spanish and English with him. He is one of the most generous and friendly people I've met and a great friend I hope to keep in contact with.
This is Joaquin's wife, Francis, their best friend Miguel, and Francis' salmorejo.
Joaquin and Francis invited Shirley, Annie and I over for dinner and asked that I cooked (!!). So we met at 4, did lots of grocery shopping, and went home and had a party. I made cuban food, Annie made drinks, Joaquin made spanish
tortilla, and Francis, the salmorejo.
After checking maybe 7 stores, we decided we'd have to make mojitos without limes. Annie got creative with grapefruit and oranges, and our cuban dinner was saved!
The menu: citrus-adobo chicken, black beans, tomatoes and rice.
What fun :)
