Salamanca, Avila, and more fun Madrid nights

On Wednesday, July 25 at night I went to water fight party at a local bar. The girls received water guns upon entrance. My buddies and I got soaked. There were all also Spanish boys running around with the guns (I suppose that the bar just did not want American guys getting in on the fun.)
On Thursday, July 26 we went on a field trip to Salamanca and Avila. Salamanca is a college town, but in the summer it turns in to a happening tourist destination for Europeans. We visited the cathedral their, it was pretty much the same as all of the other cathedrals that I have visited on this trip.
Avila was a wonderful city. It is surrounded by walls and is the birthplace Saint Teresa, the patroness of Spain. In the old days, in order for a Catholic Church to be considered legit it had to have a relic from a Saint, this never took hold with Catholics in America. Saint Teresa’s finger is preserved at the Cathedral of Avila. We stopped at a café for a coke at about six in the evening. People were just getting up from the afternoon nap is a part of Spanish culture and heading to the café for beer and what not. The amazing travelling man that I have mentioned lived in Avila for a year and a half. I could defiantly do that if I knew Spanish.
On Thursday night, my buddy and I had some wine, you have to drink some wine when you are in Europe. We then headed to an Irish pub in Sol called Dubliners. A Braves vs. Giants game was on in the bar. We then went to a club called Capital that is near the train station. I rode the metro home at six a.m.
On Friday night, I went to eat dinner with a large group at a chicken place. The place specialized in this cider that tasted like sparkling grape juice. It felt like thanksgiving dinner, sitting with the group of 15 eating poultry and drinking sparkling grape cider.
