The excursion was to last until like 4:30 so all the kids had brought their lunch. Around 2, instead of eating the lunches we had brought with us, much to our surprise all the teachers headed back up to the restaurant where the owner had prepared a paella for all 10 of us! It was GLORIOUS.
Paella is a traditional rice dish which I believe originated in Valencia. According to wikipedia there are 3 types of paella: "Valencian paella consists of white rice, green vegetables, meat (rabbit, chicken, duck), land snails, beans, and seasoning. Seafood paella replaces meat and snails with seafood and omits beans and green vegetables. Mixed paella is a free-style combination of meat, seafood, vegetables, and sometimes beans...Other key ingredients include saffron and olive oil."
The paella they made us was mixed. It had white rice, red peppers, peas, shrimp, clams, snails, and pork. SO good.
After we had stuffed our faces, they brought us plates of the house deserts to sample them. Later we just sat around til 4 and waited for the bus to come. Overall, a great day :) I wish every day was field trip day!
