Today los espanoles celebrate El Dia de Los Reyes. My spanish mom's extended family all came to her house today early in the morning to set up the living room with a ton of presents. It's pretty weird to open presents with people who aren't related to you in any way what so ever. However, they tired to make me feel at home and everyone gave me a little something ranging from a Barcelona guide book to a picture frame to authentic Spanish castanets (their kinda like little clappers that make noise when you dance...) Anyway, it was nice to see everyone really happy and excited. And once you open a present you yell, "Gracias a los Reyes."
Afterwards, more family and meeting even more people at my senora's sister's house. They're all a mix between crazy and nice. Let's just say they're all very out there and expressive. And I'm sitting there quietly smiling... eating my food... smiling. Talk about being intimidated. And afterwards we saw a documentary on dolphins and whales at the IMAX in 3D. Gracias a los Reyes!
Later that night, I met up with some friends for drinks and dessert. Barcelona is very pretty at night. Muy tranquila. However, who knew that the Metro closes early tonight because of holiday! O well, I ended up walking home, which was only a 20 minute walk, but probably not the smartest thing at one in the morning. Gracias a los Reyes for getting home safe!
