For New Years in Spain, everyone eats twelve grapes. There is a bell that rings every two or three seconds and you eat a grape each time it rings. Well last year was my first year attempting this because my first year here I spent New Years in Portugal. To my surprise, the grapes we had were not seedless so I was thrown off from the beginning and never recovered. I gave up and ate the grapes casually. This year I did better, but not by that much. I did know that the grapes were not seedless though. I made it to about the ninth or tenth bell when I realized I had way too many grapes left. After the last bell rang, I still had three or four grapes left so I shoved them in my mouth of course, which was still full of all the other grapes that I was still trying to chew. Needless to say, I was not able to tell everyone happy new year because my mouth full of grapes. Maybe next year...
