Failed Flamenco Show

Last night, our group really wanted to go to a Flamenco show at a bar called La Carboneria. What we didn’t know, however, was that the show began at 9 pm. We were supposed to meet up with Sonja at the church on San Jacinto so she didn’t have to walk by herself. So Jonathan, Sarah, and I were waiting forever by the church and Sonja was about 30 min late. Jonathan ended up going ahead to let the group know we were going to be extremely late and as soon as Sonja and Katie arrived, the skies started to let a rip. We decided it would be best just to get a taxi so we wouldn’t get wet and so we wouldn’t be as late. So anyway, our taxi got stuck behind a dump truck and the price was soo steep but there was nothing we could do. We ended up paying 11 Euros to get to a place we could have walked to. But whatever, so we finally met up with the group.

We went into Carboneria to find out the Flamenco show was over so we decided to go to Alfalfa Street which is well-known as the street where people to go bars and then hang out outside like a big block party. At the bar we were at, we met 5 musicians from Sevilla who teach at the music conservatory here. They had all studied in England so they all spoke English extremely well and we hung out with them for a while—a really interesting bunch. Once it was about 2 am, the bartenders kicked us out and we ran to a place close by because it was pouring at that point. So anyway, we had quite an adventure last night. And tonight, I’m going to services at the synagogue so again, it should be quite an adventure.
