This past weekend a group of us went to a jazz club here in the city. It was incredible (if a bit too smoky.) The music reminded me of some of the songs I dance blues to back in Chicago and I really wanted to just grab a girl and start dancing. Unfortunately 1) it was not a dance club, and 2) I do not know if anyone at the club even knew how to dance blues. I really want to go dancing here to show off my Chicago-skills and to pick up a few Madrid-moves, but I have no idea where to go or who would want to go with me (one of the reasons to go social dancing is to socialize, after all.)
I also went to the National Museum of Natural Sciences hoping to see some dinosaur skeletons, but to my severe disappointment that gallery was closed. I got to peek past the construction wall and I saw that they had an impressive collection, but I was still frustrated because I couldn't see them up close.
Otherwise I've just been wasting too much time not doing homework (sorry Mom and Dad) but fortunately tomorrow is a national holiday so we don't have any classes and I can try to get it done then.
This upcoming weekend we are traveling to Cuenca and I am going to go cliff-diving. If I die, I want it in my will that all my friends and family have to each eat a pinecone.
If you die, I'll insert a pinecone rectally in your memory.
ReplyDeleteWhat national holiday is it? Is it something I should know?
Thanks Chris, I appreciate that. And no I wouldn't expect anyone to know the holidays here. It was Dia de Hispanidad, by the way.
