Last night and amiga's 21st

Last night I went out with the vet I might at the discoteca last Friday. His name is Jose and we get along really well. He is very sweet, smart and very cute~ We went to an Italian place and to a tobacco manufacturing factory that has been converted into a bar/music venue. I had a great time and he is the nicest guy I've met in a long time. I am still a little wary because it's hard to get to know him like I could know an American because of the conversation difficulties. He speaks little English so sometimes it's hard to talk! A bunch of times we wished we could elaborate on what we were talking about. Next time I am bringing a dictionary! We are going to see each other again soon.

The night before, my American friends and I went out for my roommate from Madrid's 21st birthday. We went to a flamenco bar where I learned what flamenco is. I really had no idea. It is a very expressive dance with a very particular type of singing. The singing is not my favorite because it sounds like crying in a way. The dancing is very cool; the dancer stomps a great deal. It reminds me of a fusion of tap and tango. The bar is located in a cave so it was all very festive. 

Then we went to a chupeteria (a shot bar). Shots are only a Euro and they have about 100 kinds. Adrienne (the birthday girl) got a free shot glass that said Feliz Cumpleanos. I guess that makes up for not turning 21 in the states.

I'm happy, next Tuesday is my final for this month's class. I should do ok. I need this weekend to study so I don't think I will be going out! Next Tuesday I am off to Morocco with my friend Kelly. I am excited to see the Straight of Gibraltar.
