It feels good to say that. Don't get me wrong...I have enjoyed every minute of Salamanca but it's time for MUCHO MUCHO FIESTAS! I've been focusing on my studies and not much play time. Not complaining though. That's exactly how I wanted it to be. But after almost 5 weeks of intense Spanish lessons my body needs to fall down drunk. YES..fall down drunk. England and Ireland here I come. I sure hope Damien's up to the task of taking care of me. Those first few nights he's definitely going to need to. Whoops!!
We're first meeting my cousins, Ted and Sam (not gay..Sam's a girl) in England. They live outside London in Southhampton. We'll stay with them a few nights enjoying the area, eats and drinks. VINO VINO! They've built a pizza oven in their backyard so I am sure looking forward to some homemade pizza. We're all also gonna stay a night in Bristol with some of Sam's family then Damien and I fly off to Dublin the next day. I've booked us for two nights at the Hotel Bloom in Temple Bar, Dublin. Hotel was inexpensive and right in the heart of what we require...BARS. Plus we get a free cocktail upon check-in and later a whiskey tasting. Someone say WHISKEY? There's a restaurant I've heard has damn good Shepherd's Pie too. It's called 'The Shack Restaurant' and it's near where we're staying. Mmm mmm good. One of my favorite dishes. We've also got tickets to tour the Guiness Brewery. If we're up to the task there's a one day tour via train to Galway and back. We wanted to stay in Galway a night or two but the big Horse Races are happening that weekend and the hotels are booked. If they aren't book they average $200 or more a night. I don't think so man. We'll head down to County Cork, Midleton to be exact, to see our friend Michelle Maloney. She moved back to Ireland some time ago. She's crazy fun...DUH..she's Irish. From what I understand she's got access to her Dad's old ambulance so it seems we're gonna hit the roads of Ireland. How freakin' fun is that gonna be. I love partying with my Irish friends in SF....but I can't wait to see the Irish in action on their own territory. I hope I can keep up. I am gonna try.
This weekend I am going on my last excursion with Don Quijote. It's a day trip to Segovia y Avila. I hear they're both beautiful towns. I wonder if they'll have an Iglesias? AAAAAHHH! No MAS IGLESIAS'! I think I'll find the closest cafe and wait for that part of the tour to end...got VINO? Sorry peeps but I am really sick of Churches. I hear there's a cool Castle though.
My very last weekend in Salamanca is going to be wonderful. Saturday, July 16 is Carmen's birthday. Friends and family are coming to the house for Tapas, Vino, Cerveza and more. Then it's off to go dancing. So wonderful to be a part of the celebration.
Then on Wednesday the 20th....we're going out to have Paella and Sangria for my last big Spanish meal. I've saved the best for last.
BTW...if anyone wants to do tonight's homework for me I'll email it to you. MI, MIS, MIO/A, TUYO/A, SUYO/A...etc.. To tell you the truth I don't give a F if it's mine, yours or theirs now. HA HA HA!
Paz y Amor amigos
