Kein Beir vor vier: Eine Nacht in Woodstock

            Walking around the city, we ended up at la Punta, a strip of discotecas located right on the ocean.  Unfortunately, nightlife is non-existent on Tuesday nights so we decided to head back into the main part of the city.  We stumbled upon a bar that had a bunch of Germans that were in my Spanish class so we decided to go inside and socialize.  The bar next door had some Americans that were in our class from New York, but overall it seemed really dead in Cádiz.  We finally decided to go to Woodstock, our favorite bar in the city and just a street away from my house.  We walked inside to find the bar packed full of people.  Some were playing pool, some were at the bar, others at tables.  The building is wooden on the inside and decorated with pictures of Jimmy Hendricks.  It is clean, welcoming, and very close to home.  All of a sudden, I ran into this Italian guy I knew so we started hanging out with him.  Later in the bar I saw Vera and Elena from Germany: the Erasmus-party experts…This was the bar to be at!  It turns out that there were three main groups of people at the bar that night:  the Germans, the Italians, and then our tiny group of Americans.  The Germans jumped up and down singing their drinking songs and then the Italians would respond standing on chairs and singing their own ones.  At around 1:00am, the Germans from the other bar walked in and we all started hanging out at a booth.  I cliqued with Monica and this Australian guy and spent the whole night talking with friends, drinking Coca-Cola, and making new friends.  At around 3:30am the bar tuned its lights on and we all had to leave. We walked around the city a bit and then went our own ways.  A perfect night.
