So Ann and I decided to keep track of how many times we eat french fries, i mean, patatas fritas, since, ya know, shes had them 6 times and ive had them 7 since we've been here, ya know, less than 4 days. no big deal. haha. but the good news is there's a super nice gym here that we took a tour of the other day and im def planning on using it lots. 5 of us went there today and swam for a while and it was sooooo nice. you also have to wear swim caps there, which ive never worn one before, so it was a tad odd. when we took the tour there were some classes going on and oh my gosh 2 of the classes we saw were so sweet!
so the first one looked like a kempo class, and they were listening to super loud technoesque music, and the lady leading the class was super hardcore omg. she was super in shape and had a cut off shirt and shorts on and had super long dreads, and was just yelling into her head mic thing and jumping around the room. it would be an amazing workout. then the other class was a spinning class, but it wasnt your ordinary spinning class. the lights were off and there were colored lights like a disco ball, and they were also listening to super loud techno music and spinning super fast to the beat. so awesome. so we're def gonna take some classes..get into shape! i know i need it after all this food im being force fed. ann calls my madre "pushy madre" haha. i think she just feels like everything should be in order and everything and that its only the right thing for me to eat all of my food even if i say i dont want more lol. she also doesnt give me much personal space. like i have my own room and bathroom and she does leave me alone at night and such but in the morning she always opens my room, i think to get me to wake up. and she'll tell me to come eat breakfast when im not out of bed yet lol. oh and my window connects to the porch, and yesterday she was on the porch and just stuck her head in my window and was talking to me. WHAT IF I WAS NAKED MADRE?!! haha. oh madre, eres loca.
so last night we went out, obvs, and went to lots of different bars with our group of 7 girls. we have a super solid group, its fun and a really good size for going out and such. yay :) but i think, well i know, the highlight of the night was when a lady came up to us and gave us a card for a free second drink at this bar and said she would take us there, and so we followed her. so we got there and went in...the only people in there was a wedding party haha. so the bride and a few other people were dancing, and a couple of us started dancing also, and this really old guy in the party was doin some nice footwork and ann started dancing with him. it was wonderful. kind of a dance off? yeah haha. and these 2 guys were wearing these chef looking hats and ann took one of them and i tried to take the other but he ran away from me, then the first guy took his back from ann. so basically we crashed a wedding in spain. awesome.
another thing ive noticed is that the people here make fun of us alot. us meaning americans. like, its not that surprising, but i guess i was expecting them to be more accepting? or at least talk to us like we're normal people and such. they also think all of us are rich, like one of the girls here said she was talking to this guy and was talking about traveling somewhere and he said it was expensive there but that it wouldnt be a problem for her since she was american. really odd. im also surprised at how few people speak any english. ive met very few. es locoooooo.
LOVE haley
