Una americana en Catalonia

Kelly ha decidido cambiar su ruta por Europa para venir a verme, detalle que teniendo en cuenta cómo está el panorama últimamente, he agradecido enormemente.
Hemos hecho turismo, pero sobre todo, Kelly ha tenido la oportunidad de pasar conmigo unos días en familia, con buena comida catalana y hasta un "quinto" de lo más original donde Kelly inmobilizó una de las partidas cuando por poco canta un quinto fallido debido a un defecto de entendimiento.
Para el que no lo sepa, el "quinto" es una especie de Bingo pero mucho más divertido y barato. Cada partida son 0,25 € y los números tienen nombres divertidos, de manera que uno nunca sabe qué número sale a no ser que alguien habitual a este tipo de actos te lo traduzca. Cuando finalmente uno canta una línea, el resto de la sala le tira judías secas como señal de fastidio y durante toda la velada el ambiente es de alegría, gritos y risas.
Pero qué narices, traducido o no, no hay nada más bonito que integrar a gente de fuera con nuestras tradiciones...

Kelly changed her Europe's route trip to come and visit me for a couple of days and that's something I really appreciated.
We've been doing some tourism, but mostly we spent time with my family, eating good catalan food and even going to play a "quinto", another way to play Bingo, but in the most original and funny way. Every game it is around
0,25 € and the numbers are signed by funny names that just the people who attends this kind of event regularly knows. When someone win a line, the rest of the people in the room throw dry beans and everyone is laughing and shouting.
Kelly was funny when she thought she won a line but finally we realized it was a mistake...
Translated or not, I think it's beautiful to share this kind of funny traditions with people from abroad.

Hola Guapa,

Thanks again for taking me around to show me your beautiful city Sitges...very beautiful! I had such a great time with you and your family. It's nice to know that there are still good people out there who welcomes you with open arms into their country no matter where you are from. My friends really likes you too, they want you to come visit Seattle and you know you will always have a place to stay. We can make a trip together to Seattle and Vancouver and that will fulfill one of your new years resolution! See you soon in San Francisco, California.
