What a weekend! Seriously, what a crazy weekend! So much has happened in such a few short days that I don´t even know where to begin. Here are just a few of the highlights:

* Friday during the day I met a guy standing outside an Internet cafe here in Irun. He told me he had seen me a few times before and told me I had beautiful eyes. He then asked for my number and I was so caught off guard by the whole situation that I just gave him my number. Bad decision!! He called me 19 times on Friday and then another 15 times on Saturday and then a couple times Sunday. I kept telling him I was with friends and that I already had plans this weekend but he was very persistent. And then Saturday night I lied and said I was having dinner with friends so that I couldn´t meet with him and then was caught in my own lie when he saw me walking down the street...alone. But I was on my way to meet friends so I managed to get away. I´m hoping he has finally gotten the point.

* Friday night we went to a bar here called Izartxo where they decorated the entire bar with a Halloween theme. All the bartenders were dressed up. There were pumpkins and skeletons and everything Halloween everywhere you looked. It was better than some Halloween parties I have been to in the States. They made a "magic potion" and invited everyone to talk shots. It was awesome.

* Friday night consisted of more drinking and more dancing and ended with me arriving home around 5:00 am.

*Saturday I met up with my friend Katie (the other American here in Irun) and we had plans of going to the beach but ended up instead at a cafe having coffee. While having coffe we encountered a guy that we supposedly met the night before, although neither of us remember meeting him. He buys us more coffee and we begin to talk to him. His name is Alex and he is from the Ukraine (and super cute!). We end up talking to him for a couple hours and make a new friend! Yay!

*Saturday night consisted of more drinking, more dancing and more fiesta!

*Unfortunately, Saturday night (and by night I mean 5:00 in the morning) ended with me getting very hurt by and very upset with someone who I believed I was very important to. I learned that just because you love someone doesn´t mean they love you in the same way. Relationships are really hard and they don´t always work out how you would like them to.

*Katie, Olga (Katie´s roommate) and I must have made a lot of "friends" this weekend because we have been approached by a lot of people who know us (or at least, remember us) and we have no idea who they are!

*There are a lot of really cute boys in Irun! Like, wow, more than I realized.

Here are some photos of the weekend:
