Hide and Seek in Spain

Okay, so I know I've already written once today (if you haven't read the previous post yet, go check it out, it's a good one!) but I just got in from one of the best nights of my life thus far. Possibly ranking in top 5, but the jury is still out.

Regardless, it was a good one. :)

So it is currently 3:09 A.M. Spain time and I just got in. Was I out drinking you ask? Nope, not a drop. Did I go dancing? No, or not at a discoteca at least.

So what was it that I did that was such a blast? Three little words.....

Hide and Seek.

A big group of us (basically me and all the girls since there are no Oklahoma guys left and Matt is gone now) decided to go out on the town tonight and celebrate finals being over since classes officially ended today. Yet Alcala is kinda dead on Monday nights and most of our usual places weren't open. So we decided to make our own fun and play hide and seek in Plaza de Cervantes. So all of us are running around and being completely oblivious to all of the spaniards around us, and we don't really realize that we're really gaining their interest.

So this big group of big tough-looking Spanish guys come up to us and we're all wondering what exactly they are about to do......

And they ask us if they can play.

Oh man, and then the game was on. Old people in the plaza started showing us good places to hide and giving us tips on when to go and when to stay hidden.

And we definitely played until after 2 in the morning. And I really can't think of any better way to pass the time.

After our new Spanish friends left to head off to bed, all of us Okies decided to stick around in the plaza until the next bus came, which was supposed to be in about an hour. And we got up in the huge gazebo in the middle of the Plaza and played "signs" which is a game that Cherrie suggested. We were all a bit skeptical at first, but it ended up being a blast too.

Finally, we realized that the bus wasn't coming and all of us just decided to make the long walks home. Which wasn't too bad since everyone had a buddy to walk with.

Basically, it was a fantastic night with good friends. If every one of the upcoming nights go like this, then Spain will definitely go out with a bang.
