Happy Fourth of July!!! This is my first year missing out on my favorite holiday. Not only are we missing it, but also we are in a country that obviously doesn’t celebrate it. (Don’t worry, I know that one year without the fourth is a small sacrifice for six weeks in Salamanca). This morning I told my Señora all about our family festivities and as I found myself in lack of anything red to wear she lent me two red hair ties for my braids! What a darling. My friend’s Señora even made them hamburgers with slices of watermelon!!
Naturally, after we all took our placement exams and registered for our excursions, we needed to have some sort of patriotic celebration. So what did we do? Go buy boxed sangria for 80 cents of course! Everyone hiked to the river and we spent the afternoon being lazy in the sun and admiring one of the most beautiful views of the city.
Oh fun fact about the night life here. While we were sitting in the plaza and a girl from the Irish Rover (hoppin club) came over to us and was handing out passes for free drinks. When we heard her American accent we asked her how she got this job. Apparently she had studied in Salamanca the past five years and now works here. When we asked her what her typical night was she reeled off this response as if it was nothing:
"So we stay at Rover until 1:00 am and then head to this place where there are free drinks until 4:00. From there we go to Cubic and dance until 6:00 when this bar opens that we go to before we head to class."
So interpret that as you wish. Possibly a bucket list item? I don't know if my body could handle that.
Anyways...We topped the night off with some decadent gelato and red white and blue apparel. BORN IN THE USA BABY!!! Gotta represent.
More adventuras for you tomorrow!
