Class - once again!  Joy!  But, I didn't present (ask me why when I get to the states...).  But, at least the work was done.  I went to all of my classes and then when I got back to the dorm we went on a little shopping spree at the Mango outlet.  This store has everything for like 3-5 Euros, which is about $5-8 USD, and this is actually really good quality stuff...it's not like 5-7-9 material.  I got one dress.
 
Then by the time we got back, it was nearly 9 PM.  So, we all jumped in the showers to get ready for the night.  We ended up going to the place called the Bogui Jazz Club (in Chueca) where we got to see Aunty Cella's friend, Nicole Henry.  She's an absolutely fabulous jazz singer!. Nicole Singing

She can sing!!
She can sing!!
As a matter of fact, we kept saying she sounds a lot like Whitney (before crack) at some points.  I have to tell you, she sang "Time After Time" to a guitar (that was just one of her songs) and it was beautiful!  I have some of it on video, I'll share.  She was accompanied by a local Spanish band - and they were fabulous, too!  They were often featured throughout the show and they have some amazing skills!  Besides Nicole's singing and entertaining ability, she's a really nice person.   She's nice, too!
She's nice, too!
We were talking to her during the break and after the show and she insisted that we took pictures to take with us.  She was recommending restaurants to us and talking to us about all sorts of things.
 
We were all glad that we went...Shajine is even going to go see her when she goes to DC in the near future!  She really can sing!  Regardless of the fact that we didn't get home until 2:30 in the morning, again, it was all worth it!
