The first night as a group (well, most of us) was a success. We ended up having a club promoter approach us and offer us free stuff and the VIP section to come into his club - but after having already experienced this once earlier in the night we weren't really sure what we were getting ourselves into. Luckily, "Moon Dance" sweet name I know was a success. We walked in and "I Feel Like A Woman" by Shania Twain was blasting. It seems like even if it is all in English, the people in Spain will still belt out the lyrics at the top of their lungs.
We all were just starting to get accustomed to the club when suddenly all of the screens overhead turned to American Flags. Then, "Cotton-Eyed Joe" came blasting through the speakers. So, this is what they think of America hahahaha - but not helping the stereotype, we all started yelling and dancing like it was our favorite song in the world.
Today was our first full day of classes - unfortunately the class is pretty boring, we are learning about the history of Spanish Literature - from 9am to 1pm... Afterwards we went and toured the Museo del Prado and saw all of the paintings of Goya and Velásquez. But we are learning so much just from living here and talking to our madre, each other and other people we meet along the way in Spanish. We've only been here two days and it already feels natural.
Hasta pronto...
