Saturday night!

Wow! What a day! Where do I even begin? Well, Saturday started out exploring the city, how we usually start out our days. Our resident advisor, Magda, called us and wanted Caroline and I to meet her for a drink (with the other girls she is a resident advisor to, about 12 of us total) so she could see how we are adjusting to everything and if we had any questions. She took us to an amazing little place called La Oveja Negra (The Black Sheep) and we had amazing sangria! It was also nice to meet more girls who are studying abroad and we all exchanged phone numbers.

Later on, Caroline, some of the girls in our group, and I met up with the only two guys that are in our group (Nate and Mike). Mike actually met a guy, Gustavo, from Barcelona that is about our age on his flight over here and they exchanged numbers. So, Gustavo brought his friend Boris to this bar where we all hung out and were able to practice our Spanish with them!

However, I did something very embarrassing. Gustavo and Boris are very good friends. They would graze each others arm and even rub the back of each others neck and run their fingers through the others hair. So, they had to be gay and dating each other right? WRONG! I asked them if they were boyfriends and they looked confused. Then they laughed at me (and gave me a little bit of a hard time) and said that is the norm in Spain with friends. I tried to tell them that the relationship between men in America is not quite as "intimate." They were very nice about it (probably because they could tell I was extremely embarrassed) and we all had a good laugh!

After that bar, they took us to a nightclub so we could really experience the Barcelona night life. Techno music is very popular in the European bars. After dancing and drinking for hours we finally left because Caroline and I were fighting to keep our eyes open. Being a little confused on where we were, Nate and Mike offered to walk us to our apartment to make sure that we got home safely. So we finally arrived home at 5 am and we collapsed on our beds!
We'll see what next weekend is like...!

Buenas Noches!
