Happy hour...

So it is Friday and people at work have something to celebrate.
The thing is that they just want an excuse since the city seems to be celbrating everyday, if you feel like it.

Last night I attended my first "happy hour" at the Institute, a happy hour which lasted for 3 hours! Judging from they people I met, how open and warm they are, I think that it won't be hard to organize a lot of such happy hours. And given the position of the Institute, right next to the beach, I would like to think about happy hours when summer comes...They are bound to be much more entertaining.

Friday night in Barcelona, is a fiesta of its own anyway. And it gets even better when greeks are involved. You think you have set out for a day at work, you leave your house at 8.30 in the morning and you find yourself returning at 4.30 in the next morning!!!! This happens because you have spent have of the night dancing at the salsa party that a greek friend is organising every Friday at the basement of a greek restaurant.

For whomever interested, just look for Dionysos restaurant at the corner of Marques de l' Argentera and Passeig Picasso. Christos will be waiting for you at the bar, with cool drinks to quench your thirst after so much sweat on the floor. And there is also a live band playing salsa like crazy!

Then you wake up on a Saturday morning just to remember that the whole weekend is dedicated to Santa Eulalia, patron saint of the children of Catalunya. Nevertheless, there is fiesta everywhere around the city, even for older children! So gather your strength!
