Dia De Los Trabajadores

Tuesday was a national holiday where almost no one was working and no one had work.  A long weekend in Spanish is called a puente, so last weekend was a puente.  On Tuesday, Dia De Los Trabajadores (Day of the workers), I went to the river in Aviles with my host family.  It was awesome!  On the river there are lots of people kayaking and there was a sports complex right down the road.  We met up with many of Cristina and Manuels friends and in the end were a group of about 15.  We had two small grills and a picnic table and sat around for hours eating, drinking sidra, and talking.  The are where we were on the edge of the river was a large grass filled with other people grilling and playing soccer.  I also poured my first Sidra and got it all in the cup!
