This past weekend we went to the aquarium, and it was pretty great. I wouldn't say t was much better than Boston's, but there were a few things that stuck out. Their octopuses were amazing.They had three, one was actually moving! The other two were resting, eating each other, or being slutty, we weren't able to figure it out. Ill have to google it. Next they had a really nice 'underwater' passage. It was pretty long and the sting rays and sharks and bigggggg fish would come up to it. Then at the end, the penguins (as usual) were pretty cool. Also, there was this area for kids kind of and there was a sting ray tank. You could stand on steps on t
he edge to look in and crawl underneath-I had to pretty much lay down-and they would swim right over you, really close. Julio and I took a really long walk to the aquarium because we though we were going to get there way before, we were late.
And look, wez scared of sharks!
Saturday night we went to this really famous/popular club called razzmtazz. They have like five different dance floors with different music and one main one. I felt okay about it, probably because I refused to by pricey drinks. It was still very cool, even if it wasn't my scene. What was more my scene was when we dicovered this 'secret bar', so to speak, you go to this flat and press the buzzer-no name on it- and go inside and they actually id there. Inside there is a room with a pool table, a lounge room, and the room with the bar. V cool, all international people, and a much chiller scene. Sunday we did a g-l-o-r-i-o-u-s walk on the beach, it was so nice. Who knew they had a lot of sea glass! I think i was the only one excited about it. We walked for a good many hours. Molly, Simone, Sydney, and I walked for about an hour hen SImone and Sydney got some lunch and Molly and I took a nap on the beaches chairs, then walked all the way down to the point and back. Found a great place with individual pizzas on focaccias.. they had salads and great coffee and cappuccinos, too. You could even get the cofee to go, a rarity here except at the university.
We also went to a bar call Obama Bar, for the inauguration. It was quite an experience because everybody had different political stances, some were crying some stony faced.Sam and I had a cerveza and tuned it out. It was still pretty cool. The food there was also delicous, what I stole off of people plates.
Tomorrow I have my first quiz and then we are going to go to a nice fresh market to practice some Spanish, even though I hav beento the super market a few times now. Friday in class we are watching a movie in Spanish in class before our classes go from 2 1/2 hours to 1 1/2 hours. Simone is looking into a wine trip for us this weekend, we found one by bike! But we can't figure out how expensive it is yet. We'll see.
LOVE
