Dinner

We went out to eat with one of the people from the lab and his friends. It was quite funny because it was an impromptu ´´bring your foreign exchange student night.´´ His friends brought two guys from Italy, one girl was from France, and another girl from Mexico. We ate inside a theater building and the atmosphere was great! However, the waiter forgot about us and our food did not come until 12am! But the wait was worth it because it was our first authentic meal in Barcelona because we had mostly been to tourist reastaurants prior to this. His friends were very friendly and we went to a bar afterward for a drink. The language barrier can be tough because they speak so fast and even if we somewhat understand the conversation, it is that much harder to understand jokes in a different language! I can barely understand jokes in English! So everyone was nice enough to translate the jokes for us so that we could join in on the laughter. Teegan and I had a great time with them and we hope to go to a concert with them later in the month. The place is called Razzmatazz and it is a concert venue that everyone raves about.
