Day 2: Más Santiago

Last night we all went out in true Santiago fashion!  Los monitores took us out for tapas.  We ate more octopus (pulpo), sometimes hot peppers (it was like playing Russian Roulette with food) and croquettes and Sangria.  Afterwards was an odd outdoor concert for the Festival Dos Abrazos (festival of hugs).  We met a Spanish friend who was adamant about toasting to Spain.

Afterwards we went to a few bars and dance clubs.  Luckily the music was mostly American.  Some of our faves included Bon Jovi, a Grease medley, Nirvana, Guns 'n Roses, Ke$ha, Lady Gaga, and a Beyoncé tribute to Tina Turner (Proud Mary).  Obviously was sang/screamed along and danced wildly.  However, we quickly became the entertainment of the bar, the Spaniards had probably never seen anything like us.   All in all a successful night as we got back at 4:30.

We went to an outdoor market this morning with a plethora of fresh food.  We also went to a modern art museum that was slightly terrifying.  Hilary saw some art from Art 105-106, but the rest of it was scary and slightly pornographic.  We'll be in Portugal tomorrow!

Hasta la vista,

Raquel y Hilary
