Hey all I'm going to the beach this weekend Got to work on my tan I'm going to be the whitest person on the drum corps http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Andalusia/Granada/blog-156734.html So We got up and got ready to move out of the Wine Man's. We headed down and sat on the beach waiting for our train which was at 655pm. We filled our bottles with sand. I took a cool picture of the bottles on the beach to prove their authentic. lol It was kinda just a lazy day sitting around on the beach what a nice vacation We had french fries and gelato for lunch lol Finally it was tim http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Liguria/Cinque-Terre/blog-156357.html Hola I was in Cordoba this past weekend for the festival of plazas there. It was really cool. Didn't see as many plazas as I expected to but that's all good. The ones we did see were really pretty and nice so that's what counts. It was interesting travelling around with Monica and her friends. Of course we ended up at the wine tasting place at the festival Ugh if I never see wine again af http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Andalusia/C-rdoba/blog-156135.html So We got up at a decent hour checked out of the Souvenir Hotel and headed via train to the last of the five Cinque Terre towns Riomaggiore. We had heard from on of our friends who had gone there over Spring Break that there was a cheap hostel there so we wanted to check it out. We were on the train at 1130. Well by about 1200 we had decided we liked where we were staying in Monterosso be http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Liguria/Cinque-Terre/blog-155049.html So Day four was Sunday. So Laura and I got up and went to church. I'v now officially gone to church in four different countries And only in two of them did I understand the service lol One good thing about Catholic churches they all follow the same basic pattern so you can understand what's going on without necessarily understanding the words. After church we hit the beach again. And tha http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Liguria/Cinque-Terre/blog-155061.html Ok Need to take a small break from the Italy trip for this special message...Yesterday was the Day of the Crosses in Granada...Yea for no school So I went out with Monica and her friends and we went around and saw the crosses and Monica taught me how to dance the first Sevillana of Flamenco lol Lots of fun. Anyway this weekend I'm going to Cordoba with Monica three of her friends and La http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Andalusia/Granada/blog-155066.html So Day one of Italy occurred on what seemed to be an ordinary Thursday evening. I mean we had a successful flight found our hostel checkedin dropped off our bags and headed out in search for food. Well being in Italy we had a very big decision on what to eat.....pizza or pasta. So we went for pizza especially as it was cheap 5euro for a whole pizza So everything is pretty standard so http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Lombardy/Milan/blog-154501.html So Day two started at 630am...because we had an 810am train to catch to the main attraction of our trip...The Cinque Terre. A little background...Cinque...Italian for five Terre...Italian for land. So literally The Five Lands. And though there is an awful lot of really beautiful land in the area the actual Cinque Terre is five towns. Five fishing towns as they're called but anymore they http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Italy/Liguria/Cinque-Terre/blog-154504.html Hola Que Tal Estoy muy bien...esta buenisima aqui hoy El tiempo esta un poco calor y el sol esta fuera Me encanta Yo he hablado con Bethany este manana y ella dice que el tiempo en Maryland ayer estaba muy bonita...espero que esta cierto para Nueva Jersey tambien Vosotros estais aprender espanol de mis blogs Yo espero que si... jaja ltEspanol para haha porque el h aqui http://www.travelblog.org/Europe/Spain/Andalusia/Granada/blog-151903.html
