We missed our bus into Pamplona because Alicia forgot the name of the hostel we were staying and we went on a quest to find it. We finally did and just put our stuff in our room, talked with the guys that were already there, and then went to get new bus tickets. We couldn't get tickets till 8:30 so we decided to get food and walk to town.
We went to this little natural groger and got bread, apples, cheese, cava, and jamon for bocadillos. We mis understoof the butcher cutting the jamon and ended up spending 22 euro on finking jamon and he had already made them into sandwhiches for us we had to buy it. It was the best ham I have ever had so I mean oh well.
We ate our picnic in a park and saved the cava for later. We wandered the city and finally got on the bus at 8:30. We were meeting Quynn, one of Alicias sorority sister at a park there and so we sat and drank our cava and waited.
This city is insane right now, there are thousands of people all wearing white and red and everyone is drunk. We finally found Quynn and she had met a few guys, Craig and Mitchell and they were really awesome.
We met up with Craigs cousin Patrick and this friends and went out with them for the night. It was a crazy night and some people got a bit out of hand but it was all part of the experience. We slept in the train station park for two hours and then woke up at 7 and parted ways. Alicia, Quynn, and I went to watch the bulls run.
And the guys got on a train to barcelona.
People were still partying at 7 in the morning and the entire city look and smelled like the worst frat house ever it was a mess. We were trying to get to the arena and saw the path people ran but missed the bull since they only run for 3 minutes and we got lost finding the stadium. It was terrible. All of us were feeling the effects from the night before so we decided to just head out since it was over anyways
We got back into san sebastian and Quynn stayed at our hostel with us. We met two different guys who were now in our room and we all went to the beach. I wandered the town with Alicia taking pictures for a bit.
Then we showered and took naps and then we went and watched the third and fourth place game at a tapas bar. I am glad Germany got third. I think they deserve that. We met some sweet people at the bar, and talked with them. Afterwards we got gelato and just went back to pack for today. We woke up at 6 to get on a train to barcelona, only to find out they are all full, so we are headed back to pamplona to watch the game and try and see the bull run in the morning.
Excited for those two things but not to gop back to frat city, it was disgusting. Also I feel bad because we were supossed to meet up with craig and patrick and gang to watch the game and we have no way of telling them we won't be there. I feel terrible. Momma comes in two days and we are so excited!
Hope you all are cheering for Espana tonight! I will celebrate here for you when we win ; ).
