Margaritaville

My birthday was Sunda. It was also Father's day. My roomate, Hannah, asked me to go out on Monday for Margarita's as a local restaurant had them half price! So, I was looking forward to Monday since I'd never had a traditional margarita, only the really fruity kind and not very many.
Monday came aroud and work was surprisingly slow, so on a whim I signed up for VTO (voluntary time off). Low and behold, I got it! I was free from work about an hour and a half earlier than planned! Per the usual, I calles Stess when I got off. All excited that I had the rest of the night off, I told her I'd been vto'd and was on my way home. She was surprised and we talked for a bit before she had to go since she and her roomies were in the car and we don't like talking on the phone in the car with other people.
I called Hannah then and she had just started cooking dinner so I told her I'd call when I got off the max and we'd go from there. I got off max, decided to do some grocery shopping at Freddy's then headed to Taco Bell since I hadn't had dinner yet. Sitting in the Taco Bell parking lot Hannah called to say she was on her way.
I beat her to the restaurant but didn't go in as Sandra called me. We talked until Hannah showed up then went in. Sitting in the dining area was Stess, Crista and their roomate Shelly! They'd planned a surprise party for me and I almost blew their plans!
When I called Stess she signaled to her roomies that I was already off so they all jumped into the car and headed up here. Stess called Hannah right after I hung up to warn her I was coming home. Hannah tried to delay me a bit. I decided to go shopping and eat dinner. And, when I was there already Sandra called to wish me happy birthday. (I don't think she knew about that...)
Anyway, it was very fun! I had a "real" margarita, on the rocks with salt around the edge. I'll admit, it wasn't my favorite. I enjoyed it, but not my favorite. I also had flan which I haven't had in a very long time, and it wasn't that bad. Stess even liked it!
THANKS LADIES!

Mi Primera Fin de Semana en Espana - My first weekend in Spain

This was my first view from my hotel when I arrived on Friday afternoon:  After a short nap, MUCH needed but short because I did want to sleep later that night, this was the view that I woke to... The clouds had burned away and it was SO beautiful! There's a beautiful walkway along the ocean. People are always walking, running and biking along it. I discovered that, though I'd bought an adapter at home, it was not the correct one for Spain. So I headed out to explore and with one thing in mind. Stopping first at the reception desk, I exchanged some money and asked for directions to a location where I could purchase said adapter. Thankfully they had a map that they gave me and pointed out a store just up the street that would probably have what I was looking for. Before walking up the streets in search, I stopped to admire the view closer.  This statue is located right outside of the hotel. Here's a close up:   As I sat in this area I obviously loo
