Afterwards, we decided to head back to Hotel Orense to shower up for our welcome drink and dinner at La Opera. There's always the initial awkwardness when we go on these trips and meeting tons of people at once. We made the best of it and circulated around the room and exchanged pleasantries. A few sangrias later we were laughing and slapping each other on the back. Here's the weird thing. I've noticed on trips that it always seems easier to meet and speak to older fellow tourists than the younger set. The younger crowd always seem less approachable and standoffish - not always, but generally.
