Tonight we walked about 2.5 miles (there and back) for all you can eat Domino's Pizza. I honestly thought it was well worth it, but no one else enjoyed the walk. I had been craving American style pizza (large, with melting cheese) for a while now, so I was super excited. They take cheques, so we through them all in and ordered 4 pizzas for 7 of us. We didn't finish them all, and they told us we couldn't take it with us (which is absolutely the stupidest thing I've ever heard, we paid for it, we'll eat it, we just need a box...why just throw it out?) we came prepared though, and Alanna and I stuffed some in bags to take home.

On the walk back home we came across this huge group of people crowding the streets and sidewalks. There were cars parked along the side of the road with hazards on, it was insanity. As we walked, we realized that these people we saw, all appeared to be about 15/16 years old...dressed like they were much older, with butts hanging out of their shorts and wearing basically bras. We decided we stumbled upon the 17 and younger club zone, because they were everywhere and parents were parked along the road picking several of them up. It was very interesting and slightly terrifying, but it was really neat seeing a non tourist side of Valencia. The Domino's was on the outskirts of the touristy part of the city, so we had no idea where we were until about half way home. It honestly was really nice seeing that part of town especially with everyone out. We might go explore around that area there later in the year.

We just finished "Friends with Benefits," our movie of the night and it was an experience I won't ever be able to forget. Brittany is sick and can't laugh, and when she tries it just sounds terrible. Lia talked through the entire thing, but it wasn't like commentary it was, as Brittany and Jacqueline put it, "why is the dog crossing the road?" & "oh, it looks like he got hit, is he dead?" I honestly loved every minute of this night. Good vibes. Good people. I love my friends..
