Nov. 7 - Me Gusta Este Pais

I was too lazy to go with Andrew to get pizza.
I am too lazy to get up and figure out the heater.
And I think I am also too lazy to write you a verbose update about the great time we have had in Spain.

But I'll give you just a little...

Basically, I love it here. Last night was our show in Ourense, Spain. If you ever get to gallivant about this country, you should definitely stop here. The outer edge of the city is a wall of rolling, lush hills, with a glowing river that winds all around. At different spots along the river are banks of natural hot springs, where you can sit and bask and do whatever you do in a hot spring.

We got to see the old city center this morning. Lots of old churches, old government buildings a big plaza where we prowled through a market of antiques. Everything made of a grayish stone, most of the roads cobblestone.

Our promoter led us around this morning. He took us out to dinner last night for Tapas and local wine with some of his family who all work for the venue. We had a pretttty great time! They are all so warm and welcoming and happy to get to know us, even me, the quiet one.

The show sold out at 90 people. It was a small place, but the crowed was close, packed together, sitting just at our feet. They were so incredibly silent during each song, but then exploded with joyous applause immediatley after. So, so fun. It's something about the energy in small spaces like that that I can't fully communicate--but it defintely makes for a great, moving, memorable show.

We signed some things, talked with excited fans, had some beers and called it a night.

Spain surely does do it right.

Two more hours of free time until load in for the show tonight! yesss!
