Flamenco

Ole!
Wow...this weekend has been so much fun!! I got to see a whole other side of the Spanish culture and loved it! My friend, Belen, invited me to a flamenco party in Santander to see her dad play guitar.  It was so much fun! We had a great time seeing the dancing and listening to the music.  I think every spanish person must be born dancing because they dance so beautifully.  I, of course, am horrible so I leave the flamenco to the Spaniards and I just wait to dance until we are in crowded clubs where it doesn't really matter as long as you can keep time :) Well we were at the flamenco party from 9pm until about 2am then we really started the night life...yes crazy I know that nightlife really can begin at 2 am.  But it was such a fun night! I hadn't been into Santander and it was fun to see it by day (when we were driving tot he flamenco party) and by night.  Well after getting home at 6:30 am on Saturday I slept in till about noon, then got ready to do it all over again.  Saturday night we went bcck to Santander to see Belen's dad play at this little 'Irish' pub.  This was a more intimate venue which I think is more enjoyable.  People got up and danced and it was so fun.  I really enjoyed seeing this side of Spain...I love the music.  Spanish guitar is really so beautiful.  Well after a few hours of sleep today I decided to get up so that I would be tired tonight so I can get back on my regular sleep schedule.
