I am starting to have so much fun here, that I cannot keep up with my blog. The fun combined with a row of parcials or midterm exams are inhibiting me from keeping up. This past Sunday was the first day of spring; Primavera. The University set up a huge festival for the Friday before, but it rained all day so it got postponed to Monday. For all of you reading this, you might think, oh rain of course, it rains all the time. Nope!! This rain on Friday was the first time its rained since I have been here. In fact it was the first time it rained in Cordoba since March. My hope is that it never rains again, because the streets were a mess and everything was flooded.
Friday night I went out with my tutor Pancho and my friend Brad. We met up with some guys at their apartment in Nuevo Cordoba otherwise known as downtown. We hung out there for a while and then went dancing at a pub. We met some girls, one which spoke english farely well. (I scored major points for knowing english). I returned to my house around 7:30 in the morning and slept until 4 in the afternoon.
Saturday was the big night for Primavera. One of the tutors, Flor, had a house party to celebrate Primavera. It started at midnight, so it was officially primavera. The theme was to wear a sombrero or some type of wig. I plan ahead so well, that at 11:45 I realized I needed something to wear. Luckily my family came through. They found me a greenish had with fake green hair. So I wore it.
The night was fun. There was pizza and chips to eat, and lots of alcohol. If you wanted to drink, it cost 13 pesos for the entire night. There were different kinds of drinks too. Cerveza, Fernet con Coke, your mixtures of fruit juices with vodka. It was one big party of dancing to english and spanish music. I made it home Sunday morning around 6:00 and slept until about 4 in the afternoon again. It was the by far the best way I have ever celebrated the first day of spring.
I have posted pictures from the party.
