Micro Brewery

Tunes: John Mayer Trio & Gnarls Barkley

Just wanted to drop a few quirky shorts I had scribbled down. Friday, when I was in the school's café, the ladies who worked there sang happy birthday to one of the workers. Afterwards, they took birthday shots. School café.

I keep seeing all of these old dogs around. Even if this dog walks as if he has four wooden legs, people walk them all over town.

I talked to this Spanish student after my translation class on Friday. He's quite a character. No matter how much I tried, he wouldn't talk to me in Spanish. He wanted to get as much English practice as he could have. I look forward to future conversations with him. He always has a big smile on, and talks and talks and talks.

I've noticed something here. So, you know when you walk into a public bathroom, and someone really brought some destruction? Well, the few times I've caught wind of it, it smells completely different. It smells almost like sulfur. I don't know--just some immature side note.

I went to a bar called Portland Ale House with a friend from church today. American place with a ton of English speakers. The owner came here with the dream to provide Valencia with damn good beer (most of what I've found is only half decent). After 4 years of paperwork, he will be coming out with 3 of his microbrews in a few weeks. Every Wednesday, there's a cultural exchange where Spanish people come to talk to native English speakers. If you're a native, you get a coupon for 4 free beers. It looks as if I've found my little corner.

That's about it for today. Nothing profound, just a a few moleskine notes.

It's officially Valentines day over here! My love goes out to you,
