So much happens each day I feel the need to document my journeys. Today we had an oral exam and afterwards a huge group international students, 14 or 15, explored Valapariso Calle in search of coffee that isn't powdered and terrible (Yes, coffee here sucks. Yes, it is close to Columbia. No, I don't understand why it is so bad.) We ended up at La Plaza which is a MASSIVE market of stores, street vendors, and really everything you could imagine. I'm sure it has been in many TV shows. There were so many people around that it became very difficult for us to keep our group together so we split into smaller factions. Everyone gets along so it didn't really matter who we ended up with. I managed to find a little hole-in-the-wall street food place with another OU student where we bought lunch for pretty cheap. After experiencing La Plaza, 6 of us went to the beach for an hour or two. The weather was perfect! It honestly was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been! We threw around a frisbee for awhile and just all around were having an awesome time. When we were leaving to head back to class, a gigantic pile of day-ruining substance landed on my shoulder as gift from the fun police above. They were angry, very angry and wanted to let me know in the form of a bird shitting on me. I decided to not let it ruin my day and just threw the shirt away, and went shirtless (Jersey Shore style)
The rest of the day was rather uneventful, but I'm getting ready now to head to the bars for the first of many "Gringo Nights" at Cafe Journal! Hasta Luego Chicos!
