Ok..so this is a good story...and it's true...
these past two days were spent in salamanca. it was fun, and rainy, and really really windy. it involved universities, plaza mayors, and cathedrals. dinner was questionable, rice with pasta sauce, sausage, and eggs. a weird combo. during the day some college guys from Universidad de Salamanca ran up to the whole group. they yelled...
viva palestine!!!!
viva espana!!!!
then they took off their pants and boxers and ran down the cobblestone street.
yes, you read correctly.
that's not even the best story.
after dinner, elena, our program director/salamancan guide, told the whole group (most of whom got dressed up to see the exciting salamancan night life) where we can go for bars/clubbing at the discos. she pointed out that salamanca is divided in half, half for the younger crowd and half for the adults/upper 20s-30s.
we all decided to stumble upon a good place to go dancing, when a half hour later, we run into elena. she decides she's gonna get us into this disco for free, which somehow she manages to do, so picture 21 AU students plus their professor, going into this disco (elena's fairly young).
turns out the disco is not for the "early 20s" crowd. it's for high schoolers. like 15 year old high schoolers. in costumes. like halloween costumes. i saw aliens, popes, 3 musketeers...you name it. they were all smoking cigarettes and trying to get drinks. sooooooo awkward.
anyways, i tried to get a photo of them. it's really far away but look closely for the 2 girls in Jetson's-ish outfits with silver wigs on. click the photo to enlarge. they're up against the buildings on the right.
i know i had discussed doing a segment called Spanish Stranger Saturdays. both girls win the first week's title. way to go alien girls, way to go.
