So this weekend my friend David and I had set our on a goal to find small Spanish bars that play live music. Luckily I have an awesome host brother who knows a ton of them. Thursday night we went to this place called Honky Tonk. Yes, Honky Tonk. We were confused too, especially when that night a cover band of the Beatles was playing. They were actually pretty good and we think we were the only Americans there (which we often like to be). Friday we hit up another bar called Barco where a Spanish rock band was playing called Ginko Balboa. I'm not sure if they were local but everyone seemed to know the band. Obviously it was all in Spanish so we really didn't understand the music but we had a really great time. We are hoping to find a couple more spots with live music before the end of the semester.
On Saturday a couple of us decided to go into the mountains north of the city for a little leisurely hiking. it was more nature walk than hike but it was fun to get out of the city for a day.

And then on Monday it was my 21st birthday!!! My host mom made a huge lunch for me! If you can see in the right corner that is avocado, chicken, a little bit of mayo, and cilantro. YUM!
Then of course because it was my birthday class was canceled so we went for a nice walk in Retiro because it was about 70F and the flowers are starting to bloom!
Best friends on my birthday! Thanks guys!
And now we're off to London tomorrow to go visit the sassy Callan Jackson and celebrate St. Patricks day!!! Vamanos a Dublin!
