Much better today at class. No grammar lessons today. We just focused on vocabulary. This is a good way of learning because its not just learning words but it learning what words mean and how to use them in a certain context. Of course we still apply the "rules" of grammar but its just not as hard core as when we are just focusing on the grammar itself.
So I have another night with the comforts of a quiet room with cold air. I'm having a little Cuban rum called Havana Club Anejo Especial. I just wanted to try it because its from Cuba and we can't get any Cuban products in the U.S. This hotel (Hotels Catalonia) is right downtown in the center of the business district. I stood on a street corner that had three huge old buildings all of which were banks. There was De Banco De Valencia, Banco De Espana, BBV. Not sure what BBV stands for. I went out from my hotel at 8:15 pm last night and the streets surrounding my hotel were filled with people and bars/restaurants were all very active. I went out again about 10:00 PM and the streets were empty. I literally had people coming up to me asking if I wanted marijuana or hashish or cocaine. It was pretty scary, so I bought a hamburger and headed home.
