In the interest of keeping Dan's landlady happy, and just because he really likes it, we went to her restaurant. The food was really good and it only cost 1200 pesetas. I've started figuring the prices of stuff in relation to the price of beer (approximately 350 pesetas). The Restaurante Macrbiotika lands right at about 3 beers, which is kind of expensive but as I said the food is very good.
Dan, Lilly and I packed up our stuff and went down to the beach. Lilly went off to make a phone call so we had her get some 40s and sat around watching the Italians on the beach play fuck-around games and enjoyed the fact that Spanish beaches are topless.
After getting a bit so sun we left to meet Airielle at her apartment. Dan went off to school and we went with Airielle to get some of my money changed. Initially I was planning to only bring about $200. My dad got all worried that I wasn't going to be able to get money off my various cards and started guilt tripping me to take more cash. Well it turns out that in fact you can get cash very easily from the ATMs and the exchange rate is much better. So if you learn anything from reading this just don't underestimate your Visa card. Oh and it was even more annoying because when I arrived changed some money at the airport, 185 pesetas to the dollar, at this place 175 to the dollar. Ouch.
With me getting raped by the moneychangers taken care of, we went off to get beer, wine and food for Mel's quote unquote birthday party. The plan was to watch the sunset, we walked up the Jesus Mountain and met up with a bunch of people and worked our way through most of the wine and beer and a bit of pot as well (it's sort of legal here). The sunset was totally unremarkable so at this point it was time for pinchos so we headed for the Bar Narrika.
After picking up some new 40s we walked down to the pier and sat and drank for a bit. The pier happens to be right next to Etxekalte, the club that all the kids here really like. Thursdays aren't that crowded so we went in and Dawn and I rocked out while most everyone else went home. Lilly sat down on the floor and went to sleep, when we found her there were a couple of Spaniards staring at her and a few bags and coats laying on top of her.
