SPANISH MUSIC AND AFRICAN DANCE

Just got in after listening to beautiful Spanish Guitar music earlier this evening at school. It was a sing long to different types of Spanish music throughout time. And we even sang Guantanamera and La Cucaracha. Too funny. Then hooked up with a few new friends, Chris from Ireland, Christian from Germany, Rene from Norway and Hans from Germany. Went to a little Tapas bar for food and drink. The conversations we have when we're all from different places is just the best. What great fun it is to be in one place but meet the whole world. The food was good and inexpensive too. I enjoyed some pancetta, lomo y croquetta de jamon y copa de tinto vino for only 5,40 Euros. You can eat really cheap here and delicious too. We all then walked back to Plaza Mayor to see the African Dance/Acrobat troupe from Ghana perform. They were awesome. One of them was a really freaky contortionist. Amazing what he could do. But after last nights late night we all went our separate ways at 11:00pm and here I am.

Wish you all could be here in this little part of the World. Salamanca is everything I've heard and read about. As I was walking to class this morning I couldn't figure out what was different then it hit me....I am calm and peaceful. This place feels like home and it does for all of us that have the opportunity to be in this special place. If there's any place you should add to your bucket list it's Salamanca. I know I will be back and I can't wait to share it with Damien.

Buenos Noches
