Spain and Halloween, a long weekend!



Well we just got back from Spain. Well actually a few days ago. We had gone there for a long weekend. I'm mean we're only a few hours from the border of spain so why not right? Well it was a great trip. I've never been to spain before so I was excited to go, that makes 12 countries I've been to, only 181 more to go... Yeah. Maybe not. But there are a few other countries I'd like to visit. Like Japan, Ireland, Australia, maybe Iceland, I'm not sure, who knows maybe Bjork will be there. Any who Spain, I'm amazed how much different the language and culture is from France. I mean they are right next to each other and no bigger than Ohio. Ok, well maybe slightly bigger but ya get the point. Any ways living here in France I've kinda addapted to the culture already. Here, I eat alot, drink with the meals, usually have supper about 8 or 9pm because after 7 O'clock everythings pretty much closed anyways. I mean resturants are open, but its usually calm. But Spain, WOW. Apparently they live during the day, everything closes about 2pm until like 7pm, then they live at night. I mean we were walking around late when in France there would be nobody. In Spain, the streets where packed. We actually staying down town in like a extra bedroom in a house that they rent out. And I had a hard time sleeping from all the noise going on. all I can say is WOW. But it was a great experience. Then right when we got back... its Holloween, and I'm back in the French Culture again. In France it seems very important the home life. So we had Holloween at Celines Uncles.
So thinking its at Celine's uncles place, I didn't think it would be that exciting. But I forgot some of the French Culture, They love to have a reason to celebrate, and why not Halloween. So we all dressed up and Celine and I showed up at about 7:30 cause Like I said people usually eat at 8. Well no one else showed up til 9pm. Then the music started then the alcohal flowed like wine. I don't know what that means, but it means we danced and drank till midnight. Then the meal started, it was a good time for it too, cause I was tired. So of course we ate alot and drank with the meal. Then the music started up again. To make a long story short. I didn't get home till about 4am. And being in such a great mood, I thought why not call Jim and Steve. Well steve was a fag and was going to bed (FAG :) but like always Jim was up for it. So we talked for like an hour, it was good to time. Even though I don't remember much! Just kidding. I do remember it was hard to talk straight. Any who, ever since then I haven't cought up on my sleep, I almost fell a sleep in class today (thursday) thank goodness for coffee..
