I got the chance to go and visit one of the churches in the south today, Getsemani. It was such a great experience. It was so nice to be able to see the many places that God is working in the city of Barranquilla. I also got a chance to try some Holy Week sweets that apparently everyone makes around here! I didn't get a chance to take a picture... but they were delicious!!
Afterwards a friend brought me back to the apartment and we decided to run to Exito and grab some last minute things, I am going with the Getsemani youth/young adults to a camp over the next three days. I am pretty excited.
While we were there my friend kept mentioning how she had been to this Exito/shopping center before a couple years ago and mentioned the movie theater. I thought to myself, haha, that is funny friend. There is no movie theater in here. I have walked around this shopping center place aimlessly many times. Apparently because I didn't want to check out the electronic center I missed the FOOD COURT and the MOVIE THEATER!!! It felt like walking from the wardrobe filled with fur coats into Narnia. My mind was blown. I have been living here for 3 months now. I visit that Exito at least twice a week if not more, especially while I am bored. Never, have I ever seen this extra piece of the building. Well... now I know. I guess that goes to show that sometimes, just under the surface, there is something awesome waiting for you!
So, in light of this new discovery I decided to treat myself to a movie that I have been wanting to see. I went and saw the Hunger Games!! Oh was it GOOD! I was a little disappointed because I thought that like in Puerto Rico, it would be in English and subtitled in Spanish. Well... nope! Pure Spanish. I was pleasantly surprised however, through reading the book and my rockin' awesome Spanish skills I understood everything!! There were two conversations that I was confused in but they were short and not important for the plot. I was pretty pumped though! I loved reading the books so I am excited to relive everything in the movies! I can't wait for the next one!
I also splurged and got a big popcorn, which I may or may not have eaten all of... and a grape soda, it was spectacular!
I am happy that I now know what my spare time will be spent doing! Also, who doesn't love some good food court food. This may not have been the best discovery...
