La Noche en Blanco

Saturday night was a huge festival in madrid called La Noche en Blanco (the white night), its supposedly a European festival event and it has to do with the arts and the museum and the full moon that night. all the museums were open all night and there were concerts and other art performances around the city. there were so many people, i have never seen so many people in one place!! my senora got the newspaper the next day and i saved it because it has pictures of the masses of people and some of the events. but we all met after dinner around 1130 in the palace park where we drank there and then started walking around finding some interesting people and tons and tons of tourists. we stopped at this bar/club called dream and went in, i was a little upset about this cause i felt like we could've gone there any night whereas tonight me and mikaela wanted to actually go to one of the events but i went along with the group. we went in and the place was packed we had a lot of fun dancing and this place had really good music. at around 330 me and kathleen decided we were ready to head out and so everyone left with us. so we were walking to catch a cab because it was freezing outside and we really didnt want to walk 45 mins in the freezing cold and also because one of the girls with us lived the opposite way we did so we had to find her a cab. well an hour later we were still standing on the side of the street waiting for a cab...lots of cabs were driving by but every one of them was full! so we started our direction figuring we could get out of the main area and find one...well not so again we waited an hour and still no cab and let me tell you I WAS FREEZING!! you know me always cold! so aroudn 530 gi, one of the guys said he needed to go home because he had to be ready to go at 10 am the next morning to celebrate a chinese holiday, so i "volunteered" to walk with him being that we lived 2 blocks apart and then joe came with us too. so i made it home around 6 am! it was quite a night!
