BOWLING




Well this weekend was pretty fun, minus the loss on friday. Pat didn't get home until 6 in the morning on saturday, so we both slept in pretty late. The best part of his late arrival was that at 6 am, he comes in the house ( I heard him come in the house, but I really wasn't awake).  So the next thing I know, he is in the bed with buffalo pretzels, that my mom had just sent us, with a beer, watching tv. I didn't know whether to laugh or be mad, cause it was funny, but i was sleeping so whatever. Anyway we both got to bed soon after and the next morning, I was just laughing about it, who does that at 630 in the morning?
So Saturday night we had plans with a few guys on the team to go bowling. There were 6 of us, and we decided to do Americans vs. Europeans, and of course it was no contest. We crushed them,  there was never any hope for them! Anyway it was a fun night. What is hilarious about it is that we didnt go bowling until after midnight, and by the time we got home it was almost 3. Im still not totally used to doing everything so late here, I mean I like it, but its still really weird. Anyway after bowling the guys went out to the bars in the city, but Pat and I went home. 
Sunday was nice we met up with 2 guys from the team, Xavi, one of the players, who Pat is very good friends with, and one of the managers. The manager basically gave us a tour of Santiago, and although we had gone around plenty of times before, he told us about all the history and some of the tales, which was pretty cool. My favorite part was he took us to this coffee shop, that is a starbucks kind of place, with big togo coffee cups. I was never so excited. It isn't very common to get coffee to go, but now I know where to find it! 
Anyway that was our night, oh and for the hundredth time last night, Pat and I made this new dessert, nutella cheesecake. It is his absolute favorite, and so now we always have it in the house. Which isn't so good for me, cause I am always eating it too! Oh well. 
Well I think that is all for now. I have off of school today because here in Spain, the Immaculate Conception is a national holiday!! Woo hoo  Virgin Mary, thank you! 
Oh and by the way, a typical night in the picture above... never leave home without an umbrella, its always necessary!!
