There are actually a few different types of bowling still actively played in Galicia and Asturias. Well perhaps not so "actively." We went to a town near Navia where they have a type of alley set up in the street, and they play it during certain festivities. In this version of Celtic bowling, the balls are made from wood, the size of a coconut but denser. Then there are 10 pins made of branches. First you stand a few feet behind the pins, and throw the ball however you can to knock the pins down. It's more of a toss/bounce rather than the rolling of our typical American bowling. How ever many pins you knock down is how many points you score. The catch is, after knocking down the pins your ball has to go past a certain line probably 5 meters away. If not they say "te cagaste," you crapped yourself haha. Also, upright on the middle of that line is a little stick, which you get bonus points for knocking over. But if the ball doesn't even go past that line, you aren't able to make a rethrow, which is from behind that line towards the now far-away pins.
After Celtic bowling, we took a stroll around Navia de Suarna, which has a Medieval bridge. Cool. And a park where I got to ride the see-saw with some students like back in the day. Then we took a very short hike in the woods, accompanied by some dogs who followed us from their house. Oh also this trip was the source of the greatest student quote of the year. Translated into English: So your family speaks English? And you understand them? Wow, that's so cool! Later on I realized I had confused her by saying I live in Lugo, but since I've been the American the whole schoolyear, I thought she'd've known the difference...
