His whole blogging thing takes some getting used to. Thus that's why I ended mid word, niw the unfortunate part remembering what word... Ahh yes espresso, right I was deluded we somehow thought the jersey shore two years after our first bout would somehow improve. Well I'm here to say that Pauly D and Snookie missing as was bruce spring stein. Sad that we went from referencing the jersey shore with Bruce Springstein and we have downgraded to Pauly D, the situation and Snookie. That is truly sad and I have to wonder how The Boss feels about that? Ok so no improvement and btw it always rains when I am struggling with wind and traffic. So I am wearing our only cycling mirror I am going to digress for a second - shocking Germans who ... read more

So, I have definitely been slacking on the blog front...but that should just tell you how much fun I'm having! No time to write it all down! When we last left off I was heading to Rome. Well, let's just say that city is NOT overrated. I absolutely loved it. Miss Alexandra Heuer was a phenomenal tour guide and we hit just about every landmark I had hoped to see. Climbed to the top of the spanish steps (my favorite), drank a Peroni at the Trevi Fountain while making my wish, saw the Coliseum, Pantheon, Victor Manuel, walked around where Caesar was stabbed, and climbed/rode the elevator to the top of St. Peter's Cathedral. The night-life in Rome was an absolute blast and the food... oh the food. Pizza, pasta, bruschetta, suplees (deep fried ball of ... read more

Hey everyone! A few cool things to fill you in on. This week was a blast. The weather was amazing and I got a couple great runs along the beach in. Nothing wrong with that. Tuesday and Wednesday night my friends and I did "La Ruta" which is a group of 25 small bars around Palma that have a drink and a tapa for 2 euro! We didn't hit all 25 haha but the ones we went to were so cute and fun. While at one of them on Tuesday night, we overheard some people speaking English and we could tell they were American. Sure enough we went over there, and they were from Iowa. Graduated from UNI (university of northern iowa) recently. Small, small, SMALL world, isn't it? Yesterday (Saturday) a group of about 25-30 ... read more

Hola Amigos! Things are still great as ever here in Mallorca. I'm still trying to get completely oriented in the city and if you don't already know when it comes to directions I may be the WORST person alive, but I'm trying to get better here... so far unsuccessfully. But working on it. Tuesday and Wednesday nights in Palma there is this thing called "La Ruta" (the route) and its 25 bars who have a tapa and a drink for 2 euro so we did that Tuesday and it was a ton of fun! Lots of small but packed bars with interesting people from all over which is sweet. Today we went to a town in Mallorca called Soller. Google it if you get the chance. To get there, we took the oldest train in Spain ... read more

First Real Night Out Last night was my first experience with the insane lifestyle of Spanyards. We got to this club en el paseo maritimeo (a street full of bars and clubs along the water) around 12-1 and I got home around 530 am and the club was still packed when I was leaving. Its absolutely wild. I am falling more and more in love with this place every single day. It's amazing. The past few days have been 60 and sunny and hearing about the snow back home makes me feel even luckier. Spent the day drinking coffee at various patios (I am already addicted. Never drink it in the states, and now I can't stop.) I've made some great and hilarious friends already, one of which has an apartment and went to culinary school ... read more
