An Amazing Day in Almería

   When we woke up, Pilar and I decided to go get breakfast, since there's basically no food in the house. We decided not to wait for Fer because, according to her "he takes 3 years to get ready!" Hahaha, I'm totally using that analogy in the future. I was telling Pilar about how I lost my sunglasses in Portugal because the wave basically knocked me out and stole them. I thought it was funny and then she decided to buy me a pair!!! From Massimo Dutti!! Massimo Dutti is a super posh store that's a good deal expensive. I didn't want her to have to spend a lot so I still tried to pick out a nice pair that was on the low end. That doesn't really work in Massimo Dutti, but they were 50€. And I thanked her a shit ton!! They're basically gold aviators.
    We went to this little pastelería for breakfast. I had a huge chocolate covered croissant and a little one on the side along with tall glass of orange juice on the side. Fer came and joined us after having showered and changed. He literally ordered the same thing I got. We're totally the same person, I swear! 
    Saturday was the day of Pilar's saint so her phone was getting bombarded with texts and calls. We went back to the house to get situated to go to their house in Roquetas which is about 20 to 30 mins away. Their house in Roquetas is more for the summer because it's right on the beach and has a view of a soccer field.

   It's a lot bigger and nicer too. There's currently an interior designer who is fixing it up so some of the furniture were in piles. That's why I didn't take any pictures of the house.
  We went out to eat at some restaurant on the seashore. The first entree Pilar ordered was fries calamari. I had never had it before bit I was down to try it.


  Did I mention the wine?! 


  Then there was the paella! Mm,it was delicious!!! And the first time I've ever had it!


  After the paella we ordered dessert. I don't know what I orders but I just said yes to waitress bit knowing what I ordered. It was good though. Something with chocolate on top and then a layer of graham cracker and then a skater of some white shit... It was good though haha.
  It was funny because the waitress was like "are you all family" and then the parents said no, and then they were like "he's our son" and pointed to Fer. And then the waitress was like "oh, and then she must be the girlfriend." Good joke because then we ALL said "no" haha and then they said I'm a friend. It's so much easier to say then to explain the family relationship to people who aren't of very much importance.
  Fer and I took a couple pictures on the beach.






 We look weird because we're squinting but whatever. Here's a couple more snapshots from the beach.



  After lunch, we headed back to the house in Roquetas and then back to the house in Almería. That night we were having dinner with Antonio's parents and that family. But before Fer and I went to the dinner we hung out with a couple of his friends.
  There were 2 other girls at first but I didn't really like one of them, she seemed snooty. But the other was cool when I talked to her. The other girl who came later was Concha. She was cool and funny and I could understand her. Fer's friends mumble when they talk and don't open their mouths as much and drop letters in words so it's kind of hard to follow when they're talking. As time went by, my ears adjusted and I could understand more.
  Fer and I headed back at around 9, and got ready in 10mins. He asked me for advice on what to wear and I asked him for advice. He told me to wear the black dress with the red belt, that way I'd look nice for Rafa: the joke was that Rafa and I would get together. When we finished we headed out and towards the cathedral.
  When we got there he was looking for them and the first person I saw was Rafa. I can't even explain to you guys how excited I was to meet Rafa in person! I've been talking to him for 4 years and we always talk and I tell him a lot and then to actually see them in person, face to face. Aaaaah!! I want to say I was kind of nervous but more nervous from excitement. I was waiting ALL weekend to meet him! And then all day! Too much excitement! To put it into words you'd understand.. It's like tinder and talking to someone but never meeting them. But there never been anything other than a friendship between me and Rafa (just want to make that clear).
  So I saw Rafa and I freaked out and I'm sure everyone could tell! But I couldn't hold it in! We did the besos thing and I gave him a hug and I think Fer was going to sit next to him, but I was not going to miss my opportunity to talk to Rafa in person! So I dove in and sat down next to him. I already knew Antonio and I met the dad (Rafa) and the mom who I had met the night before was there too.
    I don't even know what I was talking about with Rafa! So much stuff man! Aaah! He's 26 now and a lot more fun in person and he's a little cutie obviously from his picture in whatsapp that stares back at me with the same sly smirk on his face. Except!!! He totally copied me and the whole raising the eyebrow thing! Theif! But it's okay. I love Rafa guys! I want to hang out with him more he's so much fun! And I creeped in his phone (with permission) at his pictures. Rafa and i were laughing the whole night and cracking jokes.
    But you guys have to understand that he spends all day cooped up in the library studying. He's a lawyer right now but he wants to become a judge, and I guess it's super hard and he spends 6 days out if the week at the library studying, one day a week for rest. But I mean he's doing what he wants and following his dream so good for him!
  Antonio mentioned his friend Javier who I met the night before and was like "yeah she likes javi" but I don't. He's decent but I mean I didn't talk to him all that much so how am I supposed to know. And then basically they all said that they wanted me to make out with him when he hung out later. They were like "for our pleasure and yours and his and everyone's" and I was just like what?! No thank you. They are crazy.
   I wanted to take a picture with Rafa for proof that we met and hung out!


  Isn't he a little cutie guys?!!! Hahaha! We split ways and headed towards the party. On the way, Fer, Antonio, and I  picked up Antonio's friend Jorge. We went to the bar where we met up with Antonio's friends (2 girls), Javier and some weird dude name Ángel. Guys he was super weird and you'll find out later. Fer ordered me a rum and coke and some drink for himself that was super good!
   Antonio's friend Marie Carmen is really pretty. Marie Carmen's friend, the blonde girl who looked like a bird (identifiers, not being mean), she thought that Fer and I were together. Again, no. But Fer is an attractive guy. I used to tell Sarra that she picked the wrong brother. But Fer is 22 and too young for Sarra. Back to the story, Fer and I aren't together although thank you people for thinking that, that gives me hope in the world.
  To sum up the bar, Ángel was touchy and I was not having it so I clung to Fer a little and to Javier, and Jorge was too but not as much, more of flattery instead of unnecessary contact. Ángel was crazy and Javier is shy and Jorge is just Jorge.
  We went to a discoteca and continued the party. I guess before in Almería they never had cover charges but now they are starting to have them. The discoteca we went to, Plaza 8, was free. We went inside and low and behold an underground dance party! Marie Carmen and her friend knew of the bartenders and they have a free shot of rum. Ángel tried to toast to some shit but I have no idea what he said. The bartender who was serving us.... So cute, so cute!! I even told Concha when she came, I couldn't keep it in! She agreed with me and I made a face like "i can't, I can't deal with it" where I flare my nostrils and my eyes get big.. It's really attractive actually.
 I was dancing but not crazily. I got Javier to open up and talk more. He thought I was 18 or 19 and I said thank you. I'd rather look you get than older so when I'm 30 I'll look like I'm 25. Fer and I totally became closet that night. We just kept each other company and chatted and he helped me if I had a question about what someone said, and then I got him to practice his French. Double score for the night!!
  At one point, Ángel tried to get me to dance with him and I was not about to do that so I did my thing where I pretend like I'm laughing really hard and I lean over to catch a breath. It works every time! I swear!! Even Javier was like "no leave her alone, she doesn't want to."
  We ended up going outside and Javier sat down next to me and pushed on my back so it made me lean forward and then I did it back. Ya know, childish flirting. And then I tickled him, he's super ticklish: funny shit. He's shy, like I said. Fer looked at me with a "I see you, I see you" look. Hahaha. He asked if I wanted to leave and I said I didn't really care, which ever he wanted to do. Concha was like "no let her stay" and then looked at me and then at Javier and I understood what she meant. Somehow I got the point across that that it wasn't that important to me, cause it wasn't. Hell yeah, priorities first!! I was cold and would have rather gone home then make out with a boy.
   We all split ways a little later and I said bye to Antonio and Javier and concha. Javier and Antonio walked the same way and I'm sure Antonio was talking to him. I thought Antonio was normal... LIEEEES! He's not, he's crazy guys. Give him some alcohol and he's mega crazy!
  Pretty fun night, nothing too interesting. Fer and I got back at 5:15ish. Nothing too fancy. That's early in Spain!!
  I'm super excited that I got to meet Rafa in person finally! Aaaah! Okay! End of day 2!
