Cádiz, churros, and more

It's Sunday. At 1pm. And I haven't done anything yet today. Except for eat breakfast and watch part of a Mass being held on TV. Apparently television-broadcasted Mass (es?) also come with commentary. It sounds like a golf game (match? tournament?) with church bells. Interesting (2 + hours later, she's finally done watching it. And now on to the telenovelas!).

Anyway, yesterday our group went to Cádiz. It is the oldest continuously-inhabited city in Europe. Pretty awesome. We wandered around the city for a couple hours with a local guide, then we hung out at the beach. Again. No sunburn this time, thank you very much. This beach wasn't as nice as the one we went to last week, but there weren't as many people and the city was much cooler (well, I think anyway. We didn't actually go into the city at all in Matalascañas), so everything evened out. Although I could have done without garbage floating around while I was swimming in the ocean...







After we got home from Cádiz, my señora was gone and dinner was waiting on the table for me. So nice! So I ate dinner, laid around for a little bit, and then met up with the gang at 10 for a botellón (pre-gaming: drinking before going out). We then went to the river and hung out for a little bit before heading to a bar on the other side of the river. After being in the bar for a little bit, the rest of the group decided they wanted to go to a discoteca. It was 2am. Which is early for Spaniards. But late for Amy. So I went home. They didn't stay out much longer, as they got home only about a half-hour after me, according to Facebook evidence.



Today is obviously going to be a lazy day. After lunch, we're going to meet up and go to the garden/park in town that is supposed to be beautiful. Hopefully it won't be too hot. Maybe get some pastries. Or gummy candies (there are vendors all over the city selling candy. 1 euro for a little bag of gummies. yum). Or churros with chocolate. YUM.
