CERVANTINO

It's been Cervantino now for officially a week, and my oh my is this a great arts festival. On Saturday I saw a world famous salsa singer; that was one of the most lively concerts with people dancing everywhere. There was this one man in the front row who was really feeling the music. I couldn't help but burst out laughing. On Sunday I saw a mambo band, who is old and famous. Yesterday, because we couldn't get into see the alternative band, we went an watched a reggae band. They were great. Very political, and all in Spanish. They sang one sublime song, but I could tell the guy didn't actually speak any spanish because he was mimicking the sounds and not saying the actual words. Of course I would know that. Seeing as how I LOVE sublime. I have lost my ATM card here and had to have my parents wire me money. That was an interesting experience. Figuring out how to get a Western Union transfer in Spanish is quite cool, and I really like having to figure out things. I guess I'm feeling a little more confident with my spanish. Yesterday I went with my friend Eros to this hut thing of his friends and listened to his band practice. They're pretty good. Today they are recording their first cd, so I guess it's a big day. I like having chill nights like that. Good time to wind down.

Wow, I haven't updated this thing in FOREVER! Well, lets see, what's new? I have met lots of new people since the last time I updated this. One night I took out a disposable camera, just to see how the pictures come out. I'm sure they will be entertaining to say the least. Tomorrow we have to go to San Miguel (again) for immigration purposes. Apparently our visa's weren't the right kind or something. We are going to play in the hot springs tomorrow. I'm really really excited. I have never been in hot springs, so this will definitely be something new.

I bought this really cool bracelet (which my mom from home is excited about. I showed her on skype). It's the beer caps from some of the beers here made into a bracelet. My mom joked that I could pay for law school with that business. I laughed.
