Highlight of Monday:
Walking home from school and seeing the best bartender in the world drive past you up one of the tiny streets in old city. He recognizes you, slows down, honks and waves...goes around the block to see you at the end of the street to wave hi again. I felt like a true Oviedan/Oviedoite/I have no idea walking around town and people (well one person) knowing me. Just when things start feeling normal, just about time to go... But anyways...then going to his amazing bar, Al Fondo Hay Sitio, and getting the hookup as usual because he very well may be the nicest man alive. I'm talking about 2 1/2 bottles of great french wine, a round of whiskey shots, a delicious tropical drink, a shaker of something purple and delicious, oh and then just the whole bottle of whiskey so we could pour our own shots and let's not forget the constant food all night...all for free. The only thing we paid for were beers, and with ten of us there and all of us feeling quite lovely by the end of the night, our tab was a mere 34 euro. Needless to say we all threw in 5 euro to make it an even 50 and give our awesome friend a nice tip (and they don't tip here..). Plus there was this adorable little girl there with her parents who I got to play with until we left at like 2 AM. Don't ask me why the little girl was out so late, everyone is out late in Spain. All in all, another fantastic night in Oviedo. And back to Al fondo again tonight por supuesto...
