Movie, Mountains, Mexican, and Margaritas

There has been a lot going on in Salamanca this weekend.  So many people are visiting the city and the locals are coming out of their winter hibernation.  The Plaza has been filled every day with people sipping coffee, savoring ice cream, and soaking up the sunshine.  Friday evening, I went to see the movie Hugo with a few friends.  At 1:00 am, when we were walking home, the streets were still filled with people.  The weather has been absolutely beautiful for the past few days so four of us girls decided to take the bus to a nearby town and go hiking for the day.  We packed ourselves some sandwiches and headed for the mountains.  It felt wonderful to be outside surrounded by the trees and creeks.  We hiked for nearly four hours and then took the bus back to Salamanca.  After getting myself cleaned up, I had a date for dinner last night with some friends from my program.  There is a great little Mexican restaurant right outside the Plaza Mayor with cheap food and delicious margaritas.  I enjoyed being out with some new people.  Sometimes a change of pace is all you need to brighten your mood.  It has been a great weekend.
