"Keep Away From a Runaround Sue..."



It is now 3:03am. Quite early here is Spain. I decided to cut the night early and save some energy for Saturday night. 

I just came home from the classy bar called Boss where they had a live band that played pretty much "oldies" by request. It was fun, especially when they got the words wrong. They played some AC/DC, Pink Floyd, Clash,  and Violent Femmes, so it was a good time. 



I had an amazing lunch today, which makes up for the "deviled eggs" I had earlier. We had this soup that was like chicken noodle soup, only with bits of ham and more tomatoe-y followed by a garbanzo bean dish with carrots and onions and then an assortment of meat including chorizo, a a type of relleno (which tasted like a tamale) and then some other meat which was really dark. I don;t really wanna know what it was. It was amazing to have some delicious food that was not fried and had some nutritional value. 

I also tried squid at a tapas bar today called Sepia. It was garlic-y and delicious. 

Katie and I tried to do some shopping and spent the whole time bitching about how everyone in Valladolid is so stylish and attractive! Hard to keep up. Also, hard not to buy everything. 

Basically, my life right now consists of tapas, power walking in the cold, sour kiwis, Activia, window shopping, sangría, cold showers, and bad spanish. But I'm not complaining. 




I'm felling good, excited for the weekend. I do have a little homework, but, it will get done in four days. I miss Bill, and my parents, but not so much that it's debilitating. I actually think I'm less homesick here than at Macalester.
