4th Week - Spain

I went to Spain for 3 days this week to meet the unit I'm the liaison for.  Meet & greet and see firsthand the conditions and circumstances they operate in.  It's in southern Spain not far from Seville (pronounced Sevee-yah)  Nice country, fairly flat and similar to southwestern US except a bit greener. Best part was I met up with a Marine I went to Georgia with.  That's the best part of the Marine Corps.  You always know someone.
  No.  I didn't take any pictures.  But here are some from the interweb...




When I got back I decided I'd head to the movies to see Superman-Batman.  There's a theater a few towns away only 9 minutes on the train.  They have two rooms, both kind of small but it's got a hip art-house feel to it.  AND, they serve beer, and soda, popcorn, etc.  I was thinking about a beer when I saw a can of Jim Beam and cola, which was right next to the Jack Daniels and ginger ale.  Mixed drinks in a can - who knew??
There's even a handy shelf right in front of your row.

I first learned about my apartment from another Marine who was at the end of her 6 months in Germany so that's how I got this place.  She also introduced me to one of the neighbors in the building and last night he invited me to Polarnacht.  It's an annual party with 20 local bands playing in 20 local bars here in town.  We just stayed at one place, the brewery (Schonbuch) I mentioned previously, all the tables were cleared out and the place got packed.  Schonbuch even came out with a new beer introduced that night, Jager Spezial.  Tasty beer but man I had a headache this morning!

The band was great, they started out with 80s music - I felt like I was in high school or a John Hughes movie.  Although kind of odd for a German crowd to be singing "We're The Kids In America".
