A night out in between Spanish Classes

Hola. Yo soy Mateo. I just finished my second class relearning to speak Spanish. Alot is coming back to me and to actually have conversations is really helping. They put me in a fairly basic level. I am quite a bit ahead of the rest of the students, however, it is good for me to make sure I know the basics before I go on. The other students are really cool. One of them Peter, just retired and moved here on a whim, and is living here full time. The rest of the class is great. Two people from England, Rhiannon and Huw(not traveling together), a girl Chen from Israel, and a Natalie from Switzerland.
I met some more people from my hostel last night and we went out to eat and drink (along with Joseph and Mary from Isreal). They are a group of from the US (People down here do not like if you call yourself an American because they are American also). Devyn, her boyfriend Josh and her sister Ari. They are from Seattle and are for the realz. We wandered around looking for a specific restaurant when we came across a protest and a line of policemen. It looked rather intimidating, but after further inquiry, they were simply protesting the construction of a new government casino. We had a good night laughing about joking with babies.
