Last night we went to the flamenco show that the girls had given to me as a birthday present, it was absolutely fantastic. Their feet move 1000 mph and their faces have the most intense expressions, it's like watching Spain come to life. Accented with loud stomps, the four colorfully dressed women danced with their whole body until it looked like the music was coming from the moves. Which actually was the case, the music accompaniment consisted of two guitars and claps from the gentlemen singing, the only other beat were the dancers shoes. There was also a male dancer that Dre and I would constantly call "Hey, Paulie" or "Hey, Tony"' he was obviously not into women but it didn't stop him from throwing various winks in our direction. Since it was my birthday, our waiter snuck me back to take pictures with him, he was one of the most incredible dancers I have ever seen. The night was amazing... And FULL of sangria.
Because of the copious amounts of sangria, Dre was doing flamenco during a bathroom break. Her flamenco consists of her jumping around and rolling her tounge to make a "drumroll" sound, mimicking the dancer's feet. This was hilarious until someone came out of the stall and caught Andrea mid shuffle. One of the best moments of the trip so far.
The end of the night was so much fun, Brie was dying for some McDonald's fries... Which sounded amazing to all of us... But apparently the Spaniards don't appreciate McDonalds like the Americans because it was closed. But it ended up as a win because several people on the street complimented all of us on our flamenco skills, which got better with each glass of sangria.
Today we are doing some shopping... Maybe going to see Real Madrid's soccer stadium (if it's open) love you guys! Adios!
