Day 20, Week 3

I'm a little late on this post again...oops.

Yesterday, Friday, was a pretty fun day. I had my 2 midterm exams for school. They were both pretty easy, but we'll see just how easy when we get our grades on Monday. After our tests, some of us from school went out for lunch to a pretty cheap, good restaurant with Mexican food. We all went to a dessert shop after lunch to find something delicious. Megan and I found this shop on our walk home Thursday night when we were lost and it looked scrumptous! One of the friends from school has a girlfriend from Guadalajara and they both were with us, so they invited to come with them to a Cuban restaurant/bar after to try their authentic Cuban Mojitos. I didn't like it, but most of the people did. This was a really interesting restaurant because it's a chain called "La Bodeguita Del Medio" and it actually owned by the Cuban government. They also have live cuban music and the musicians are hired by the government and are "shipped" to the restaurants and their families are paid to prevent them from escaping. It was a very interesting situation. :)

Later on, my friend Jenny and I met up and we met some of the others at a Lebanese restaurant, where our German friend was going to be belly dancing. She was great! The Lebanese food was also pretty good. :) Jenny and I left later to go find bar/restaurant to hang out at. We found one and sat down and talked for a while before this guy came up to us and started talking. Him and his friend both sat with us and we all played a game of pool together. It was definitely difficult to get out of there with just ourselves because they both were very into my friend-haha. But we made it! :)

It was an eventful night for sure.
