ok i managed to figure out the blog again. so ill update more regularly now. had a fantastic time last night, was my friends 21st birthday and we had a blast. its so fun being able to drink here, so worries about being carded and safety and security and cops etc. its just a very relaxed atmosphere, and no one gets like embarrassingly wasted. we went to a bunch of bars and then to the port, which has a bunch of great restaurants and bars right on the water. its so beautiful at night. been missing home a little bit this weekend, but this morning i turned on the tv and sex in the city was on, and in english! made my day. i didnt go to bed until 530am. but thats the thing- 530 is a normal time to go to bed on a weekend, early even. so people just stay up all night and then sleep all day. my host brother doesnt get up until 330pm on saturdays and sundays. kind of weird, but then again so is eating at dinner at 11pm. we had an ammmaaazing dinner last night, the best tapas ive ever had (meaning.....twice). but still. it was great. okay the smoke in this cafe is killin me. more later. love to you all
