What a loooooooooong day! On Friday we started out at about 1. We drove all over Albacete and did some shopping. I bought a few things, we had lunch at an American restaurant and I took lots more pictures. We got home around 8 p.m. and got ready for the bachelor/bachelorette party. It was a Flamenco-themed party. All guests were instructed to wear either red or white and the engaged couple was going to wear black. We arrived at the Italian restaurant around 930 p.m. - 18 to 20 of us. There were red and white carnations on the table in a vase. The bride-to-be gave each female guest a carnation to eventually put in our hair. Then Flamenco-style hats were brought out and the groom went around the table and had his picture taken with each guest, each of us wearing a hat - each male guest received a hat to wear. Then came dinner - tapas and pizza, sangria and beer. After dinner the bride and groom were each taken away to change clothes - into typical Flamenco clothing. Then came dessert and coffee. We finally left the restaurant around 1 and then headed to some different bars. The streets were PACKED with people - it was definitely a Friday night. They tell me that some bars close at 3, other later - often not until 5 or 6. We got home at 515 a.m...... And that's exactly what Rosa told me to expect!!!
Today, Saturday, we're going to Alicante to the beach and tonight we will see "Cirque du Soleil". We will stay in Alcoi, at Rosa's boyfriend's house and then tomorrow we will be going to Valencia. We'll stay with a friend there and then come back home on Monday. So probably no updates until then.... or later. Time is flying by!!!

Hey! Sounds like you are having a great time! It sounds like tons of fun. I hope you have fun at the Cirque du Soleil today - I can't wait to hear/read about it. I'm bummed about No pictures, but I guess I'll see them when you get home.
