On Thursday night, we went to the Fiesta de Primavera (Spring Festival) in the outskirts of Caceres. We took a bus there and it was an area with open patches of grass-like a parking lot for tailgating. It was crazy how many people were there! Like literally all the young people from Caceres went. We ran into lots of people we knew. Everyone buys alcohol from the grocery store and then just takes it to the festival to drink there. There were lots of cars with their stereos turned up full blast but every car had a different song playing so it was hard to find one beat to dance to. For a while, we went and stood by a car and danced until we met these creepy Spanish guys so we left. We stayed there until about 3am and then took the bus home. It was a good night.
Last night, we climbed the mountain at about 7:45pm to watch the sunset over Caceres and then had supper and a small (probably illegal) bonfire at the top of the mountain. Cory, Mindy, Alex, and Taylor worked really hard at keeping the fire going since it was a bit windy but we made it last the whole time we were up there. We roasted marshmellows and made smores. We also sat around and told stories and it was a great group bonding time as 15 out of the 19 of us were there. We stayed up on the mountain until midnight and then went home. My host mom and sister could not believe we were up there for so long! It was probably my favorite night in Caceres so far.
Today, I am planning on Skyping Patrick and Dad, doing homework, and going to Mass tonight at 8pm. One of our friends from Germany (who goes by Banana) has a birthday party tonight so we will probably go to that for a little while and then sleep some before we leave for Toledo at 6:30am. It is a city about 3.5 hours from Caceres and Lizzy, Cory, Casey and I are going on a day trip there on Sunday.
