I was pretty lazy today because I didn't change out of my pj's until 1:30pm. I spent my morning talking to Eli and Bubbles. I had the whole apartment to myself because my whole host family went out somewhere. My host mom told me to just make whatever I want for lunch. I was so excited! I made myself a burger topped with tons of spinach and green peppers. Since we didn't have french fries I cut up some carrots and had carrot sticks to keep it healthy. ;) Simply delicious. After lunch I decided to go shopping again and ventured out to buy my trench coat. Instead of going back home after I bought the coat I went shopping in Casco Viejo. I stumbled upon a random book fair and found 2 precious gems that I have been looking for since I came; authentic Spanish pastry cookbooks. As the sky got darker, the festivities started and everyone was dressed up. Most people don't realize that Halloween is actually a Christian holiday and is celebrated differently around the world. Here, kids don't really go trick or treating rather they all play in the plazas together while their parents are in bars. Everyone dresses up for halloween here and a lot of people were really creative with their costumes! Before I went out with my friends I chatted with my parents and made another delicious veggie meal, which consisted of salad, rice and stir fry veggies. I cleaned up my mess and headed out to Areeta to meet up the gang at a nice bar. We spent the night talking and waiting for special halloween drinks but they kept pushing back the time they were going to serve them. At 1 am they told us 2:30 am. I wasn't really interested in waiting that long so I decided to head home. All night I didn't feel tired but when I got on the metro it really hit me and I was glad I was heading home to sleep.
