As mentioned earlier, our hotel is right in the middle of the local area - so you get a great feel for how the locals live their lives, and seriously, it's BA. There are these really small little bars everywhere. When I say small, I mean small. Some are about the size of our master bathroom at home. Anyway, what happens is the locals go inside, order their drinks and then stand outside on the street drinking and chatting. Like how cool is that. So we would be walking down the street and encounter large groups of people doing this every day. And on a Monday too - like packed! So many people were out just having a drink and relaxing - and its not like they are the young kids either - all well into their 50's.
Of course I told Arnold that we needed to experience it as well. So on our last night we headed to the bar that always seems to be bumping and went inside, order a wine and a beer and then stood outside hanging out with the locals and soaking it all in. It was awesome and cheap - it only cost us 2.60 Euro. We would have stayed longer, but unfortunately, we had to get home and pack. It was a pretty cool to be standing on the street drinking with about 50 other people like it was no big deal. Sometimes I wish Canada could be more like Europe.
Love Melissa and Arnold
