And so begins the multiple part blog story of the festival of Merce. Because so much has happened and I don't want to laundry list it all in one blog post, I felt I would write a miniseries recounting some of the things that have happened in this crazy weekend that has not even finished yet. The festival of the Merce was on a Thursday, but it really starts the night before. We decided that we were going to go to a jazz music festival in one of the parks. While we were at the jazz festival during the day, we saw this little kid going crazy in the rows in front of us. I of course took a picture. He is a future rock star. After realizing that the target audience was a few years older than what we were expecting, we headed over to a giant concert by the beach. These were both mildly entertaining, but I wanted more! One of the students in the program said that I should go to Forum, a metro stop, because that was where all the young people were going. We got on the metro and it was packed...i mean packed. It was to the point where, when the doors would open at a stop, people would spill out. Everyone in the metro was chanting all these songs about the Merce as well as my personal favorite "No se mueve este metro!" -This metro will not move. Everytime we would get to a stop people would hold the door handles so that people on the outside could not open their metro doors. It was crazy ridiculous. On top of that, people were drinking from the bottle, smoking weed and cigarettes, and one person even threw up! It was crazy! We arrived at Forum which happened to be a giant fair with a huge dance. We actually never ended up going into the dance section of it, but I did get a GIANT order of fries for 5 euros. They were the best fries I had ever had in my entire life and I soaked them in ketchup haha. After a while we headed home....I got to sleep about 4 in the morning. VALE!
