Todos Gente Working for the Weekend

Hola amigos. Sorry for the lack of updates. I’ve been super busy with tests, fiestas y siestas. So I had a parcial exam (midterm) on Friday morning so I stayed up late studying and woke up early to get a little study time in. I went into it feeling confident and got an 89%. After the tests, I took another one of those six hour siestas mi and mis amigos are famous for. When I woke up, I had the house to my self. Kenny had gone to Paris with his chica and Mike went to Salamanca for the weekend. When I woke up, I called Adam and his roomates John and Jack. They said they had tall boys and wanted to go out. I invited them over and met them at the Puerto de Toledo metro stop. They were kind of lagging, so I bought a couple Mahou beers and a snickers bar.

I skated around the metro and drank my beers. Its totally legal in public, everyone is just partying in the streets. So when Adam, Jack, and John ascended from the tunnel, we went back to my place to enjoy a couple more cervezas. We listened to music and enjoyed the cool breeze of the night. I accidently left the window opened and when I got home that night all the beer cans and chips were everywhere. No bueno. Anyways, we headed out. Before we headed out, all I asked was that we go to a different barrio and explore a new part of the city. Everyone was down. We took the metro to Gran Via and ended up meeting up with the same kids at the same bar, El Tigre. I like that bar a lot, they serve huge tapas and stiff drinks, but I was in the mood for something different. We ended up having a few drinks there but I was mostly digging the tapas.

We walked to Sol (again) and ended up at this club where we danced all night. It was way fun, but next weekend I’m definitely exploring another barrio. Adam and I caught the 7 a.m. metro home and called it a noche.
