Cheap Booze and Inauguration

So, I mentioned in my last entry that alcohol here is cheap - not so much liquor, but beer and wine. Today, I have proof. Eat your heart out Specs:

Budweiser 6-pack, for .71€. Add a 6-pack of Corona longnecks for 1.08€, and you've got some cheap fun:



But here in Spain, wine is pretty much all we drink. Wine and coffee are mainstays here. And apparently, you can get cerveza from the university vending machine. We'll be connoisseurs by the time we come back to the states!

Oh, and the inauguration: we saw it downstairs in the TV room at our dormpartment and kind of heard what he said, but it was hard with the Spanish voice over. Either way, we caught a symbolic glimpse of history that I'm sure we'll tell our kids about one day. And from Spain, no less!

Our Spanish is definitely improving. All my classes are taught in Spanish and Cade's are too. But it's only a week, and we're still trying to get the swing of things around here. We'll update when something else happens, or when we find more dirt cheap alcohol, whichever comes first. (Cade says hopefully the latter.) :)
