cave bar and salsa bar

first we started at the tapas bar close to our normal meeting area where we ordered a bottle of red wine...well it came chilled. very interesting.... we had been told that there was a cheap bar close to our house that was really fun, so we thought we would check it out, the place was called the cave bar. so we walk in and the atmosphere was really neat and the drinks were all specialized drinks of which you had to choose from. so of course we asked around to see what was good, cause they didn't explain what was in the drinks. the jota jota was a favorite of one of the girls we met in the bathroom (girls bathrooms, what can i say). so me and christen got one to share, so we could test it out. well it came out in this huge glass (no wonder they told us to share one) and it was green. fortunately the girl was right and the drink was quite delightful, not too sweet like i expected. and then the beers at this place were huge. it wasn't quite as cheap as i was hoping but it was definitely better than what we had been paying. by 2am we were pretty ready to leave when someone suggested that we go to the salsa bar, everyone was in so we began to walk. we walked for probably 30 minutes trying to find this place (always walking in this city) when we finally found it. we went in and this was a great bar. none of us knew how to salsa except joe so he was teaching all of us and we had a great time trying to learn. andrew and joe walked me and christen home as we walked and walked and walked, not really knowing where we were going. we knew which direction we had to go in but what streets we needed to take to get there was another story. all of a sudden i looked up to cross the street and i saw my street sign on one of the buildings, so i led everyone up to my door and directed them which way to go to get to their area. overall a good night with a lot of walking with the discovery of a park and a new part of the city.
