This picture was taken in Parque Güell, (Güell Park) with the beautiful city of Barcelona, Spain, as its backdrop. I was visiting the city over the summer, and I was fortunate enough to have a guided tour of the park by my cousin Karina. Not only was it my first time in Barcelona, but it was the first time I’d ever met my cousin. I did not know what to expect as she spoke no English and I speak Spanglish. After giving a tour of the park she asked, “Tienes hambre?” (Are you hungry?) After a long, hot day in Barcelona I said, “Claro, que si!” (Of course!) Then the most amazing thing happened. Karina said she was going to make an authentic Spanish dinner. I had to hold my composure, I was too excited to finally get a home cooked meal.
