Chupitos!
A night out on the town, that invariably turned into an early morning, sunrise and all. This brings to mind a certain set of lyrics:
"I don't know much/but i know this for certain
That is the sun/poking it's head 'round the curtain"
Seeing the streets flooded with people at 7am is quite a scene :) so I did it two nights in a row...

I'm in the jungle trick!
Ok, seriously, I don't know where we went (remember the whole "one way roads to random destinations" bit? Case and point). I just know that there were signs all around that said, more or less, people really shouldn't be hiking in these areas. Oh, why not? Well, my tour guide nonchalantly mentioned that there were wolf packs in said area, but not to worry, because the bears were located on the other side of the mountain. I told him thanks, I'd rather be quickly torn apart by a pack of wolves than slowly mauled by a bear any day...

Ribadeo, Spain
The group gathered once again to travel to a sea side city named Ribadeo. There are a ton of these small cities strewn about the coastline of Spain, as you can imagine, but I never get tired of visiting them. We (I) did a little swimming (floating really) at a little cove on the outskirts of town. After, my uncle decided to take us to the most remote restaurant I have ever eaten at. We drove, and drove, up this mountain on a one way road to get to this place (one way roads leading random destinations has become a common theme of our travels). This place was located square in the middle of a farm, complete with chickens and cows roaming about.
Apparently, you call the propriator of this restaurant (really just a super cool guy on a farm that likes to cook for people) and let him know that you'll be there in, say, 20 minutes and he prepares a meal for the group. Said propriator has a "menu" that consists of one thing: Eggs and fries with jamon on top! He will also throw together some amazing desert dishes, too, after the main dish. The food tasted AMAZING. I think he had his sister, mom, and wife cooking while he partook in the drinking of some sidra (another common element during meals) with the party.
I think la merienda time is upon us over here, so it's time for a snack and then some siesta...
