Happy St Patrick's Day!



Haha...so its been a while since St. Patrick's Day, I'm well aware but time has been flying here and I'm severely lacking on time devoted to the blog. On St Paddy's Day we went on a pub crawl to all the Irish Pubs in Cordoba...don't worry Mom there were only two in the whole town, this is after all Spain. Being surrounded by all the English you would have never guessed you were in Spain. The pub is decorated in Irish decor, or what Spanish people think Irish decor is, i.e. the display of brushes seen above, lol. With every pint of Guinness came a fun St. Paddy's Day hat, as modeled by Taylor and Rob above. There was a U2 cover band playing although I only remember them playing a handful of songs with long breaks in between each couple of songs... one of my first experiences of what the saying "thats really Spanish of them" really means. FYI it means I'm going to take a siesta after working for a little bit. I love the Spanish people but they definitely have a different way of life, hard to adjust to after my fast-paced, 40+ hr weeks, internship experience, but not that hard :)

I met a lot of the language teachers working around Cordoba that night, one of them being Sophie(girl in the hat above)...it was love at first sight, lol. She is a language teacher from Paris that speaks French(duh), Spanish and English very well. The language barrier was definetly there but it is still easy to just tell when you are going to get along with someone no matter what language you are speaking. That's it for now....more to come soon...maybe lol
