Wow I think I'm in love. Well the trip started off a little rough but ended up being one of my favorite places in Spain. So we were supposed to take a 8 hour bus to Barcelona from Madrid at 12 at night. We were going to be on the bus all night (and sleep) and then get into Barcelona at around 8 in the morning, just in time to check into our Hostel and then have the entire day to explore. That is not what happened, we didnt know what bus stop to go to and we left late from [View Full Entry]

Toledo Europe » Spain » Castile-La Mancha » Toledo
Toledo was amazing. From Madrid it was only a 25 min train ride and only 15 euro round trip. We got off the train and the station was amazing! we ate at this little cafe with a picture of a crazy chicken on it and had the BEST lunch for only 3.50 euro. It hit the spot! we walked around for a bit and followed a walking tour to see all the beautiful buildings. On every corner are shops selling metal swards because i guess Toledo is known for their swards and their gold. We saw an AMAZING cathedral and castle [View Full Entry]

We went to Segovia and it was Beautiful! We saw a Castle called "Patronato del Alcazar" and it was amazing. I think lunch was my favorite part though because we ate pig...but this wasn’t any other kind of pork...this was tender, juicy, baby pig that was brought out whole and then the waiter chopped it up into 6 pieces with a plate. After the pieces were cut, he tossed the plate on the floor and shattered it. (they cut it with a plate to show how tender the pig is) IT WAS AMAZING! my friend Josh who was sitting next to [View Full Entry]

First Few Days Europe » Spain » District of Madrid » Madrid
The flight was easy and went by a lot faster than i thought. I sat next to an older man from Napa and a woman who works in wine and is studying it in Italy. When i arrived, i took a taxi to the hotel and right away the driver knew i didnt know spanish and asked if i was from California. The hotal was awesome the first night and i went out with danielle, josh, shelly, brianna, carlos, and Trever to a small bar and walked around the city for a bit. Spain has been great so far. The people [View Full Entry]
