Today I spent more time at one of the internet cafes in town trying to get in contact with my friend from school. Finally I got directions to the student housing and made my way over there. This is the same student housing that I will be staying at during my term in August.

After spending a couple hours using the internet at the housing, we all went out to have some “Sangria” and then to the bars. Sangria is a sweet red wine that is served in a glass pitcher. Within the pitcher along with the Sangria are thin slices of oranges and lemons. It’s a good drink, but one that you would not want to have a lot of…..! A lot of sangria equals an adventurous night and an awful next morning!

Typical of Spain, we started our night at around 12am at one of the local Sangria bars. From there we made our way to different bars around downtown Oviedo. As the night went on, I started to notice that partying in Spain doesn’t really start until around 2am. We all eventually decided to call it a night around 4am!
