Gotta love being spontaneous!

Hola peeps! alright another update on my life. Yesterday was INCREDIBLE! i was being lazy all day waiting for alyssa to call me to go shopping, and instead i get a call from her saying "come over right now. like RIGHT NOW. we're going to san sebastian!" San sebastian is a BEAUTIFUL beach town about an hour away from Bilbao and is sooooo amazing. Alyssa's host brother and friend were going, so they brought us along and another girl from our program, paige. When i get there we are all cracking up because this is so unbelievably random and slightly awkward because we barely knew the boys, but it turned out to be a blast!

the boys showed us around to all the beaches and around the cool streets. and there is a film festival going on there right now (that brad pitt was at the day before!), so there was a red carpet and crowds of people waiting to see if someone famous was going to leave their hotel or head into the theater. The beaches there are unreal, probably one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. And while they were giving us the tour, we would stop occasionally into a bar where we drank cervesas and ate some pintxos (tapas). we also met a guy from australia who seemed super cool! but since we had to go back to bilbao we obviously couldnt hang out any longer... here is a pic of the girls with our native tour guides.



we headed home around 9:30, but then rather going straight back home, we stopped in a town near where I live and went to a house party with the brother and his friend. It was pretty awk, but also really cool. everyone was hanging out watching soccer and drinking. Just a chill night it seemed. but after a while we left, and then finally around 1:30 or so we made it to the disco like we had originally planned! there we met up with other people from our program, danced our hearts away, and then made it home by 4am. overall an amazing day!

today just relaxing and finishing up my homework, and then american football games (including the bears!) are being shown at a bar near my apt, so i'm going to go watch with a couple friends. looking forward to it!

hasta luego!
