Night out

Thursday was mostly spent observing the rain and friday I went to Getafe, a suburb in Madrid where Carmens uni is located. She had class and I used the time to do important internet stuff. After class I met Carmens classmates (of Political Science) and it took some time before the subject became something non-political. However, things became more interesting in the bar close to the uni. Many of Carmens classmates came to have a drink and it was nice meeting them and very good for my Spanish. I even managed to work on my Galician as one of Carmens classmates is from Galicia. After the bar we went back home to drop some stuff and then proceeded to town. First a very nice bar (called Economico) where again many of Carmens classmates managed to be present. New to me is that with every drink you get a small tapas, often some obscure sausage or cheese, but nonetheless, very nice. The photo is of Carmens classmates in front of Economico.

After Economico we went to another place which was also nice, but crowded. I noticed that my spanish was improving by the hour. Or was it maybe the cerveza (local brew: Mahao) speaking? Either way Carmen and I decided to head home at about 3.30 as the group was entering yet another place. 3.30 is early in Spanish terms and when we met up the next day most of them had their final churros with chocolate (Spanish tradition after going out as Pieter my brother can confirm - its some sort of waffle with chocolate sauce and basically works as concrete in the stomach) at around 7.00.
