and yet another few weeks that we haven´t writen on this but her it goes. from nice we headed west to toluse where we booked our hotel just cause of the name ¨chez tony¨ it was in the middle of no where in the industrial district but it was cheep, niall and i lucked out on the bigger room but at night we thought we could hear a rat chewing through the wall, even thought we never saw one. we got there late saturday night which ment the next day nothing was open except the sunday market which was really cool it was surrounded an old church and it sold everything from hippy linnen cloths to roasted chicken and the bread there was fresh and still warm when we got it, after the market we walked around to most of the sights in the city before heading back to the middel of no where, and played soccer in a church parking lot till the middle of the night. From there we headed into san sebastian, where we stayed in some old families apartment right above the bar district, they didn´t speak a word of english. but everyone else that stayed there were backpackers like ourselves. it was another place where we got drunk and headed down to the beach for a late night dip. From there we headed in land to madrid where we stayed in the shittiest hostle ever but the location was right down town, we toured mardrid in the scortching heat it was 48 degrees and didn´t cool down to much at night. this was the hostle where tony got attacked but bed bugs and no one slept that night dew to the heat. we were glad to leave that place, and head south to cordoba which had the most historical sights out of anywhere we have been something like 60% of the town was a historic sight. we stayed in a hostle that was more like a hotel. form there we were supose to go to lagos portugal but we got screwed out of that by the trains here in spain. After cordoba we headed to seville, where we got our first tasted of home by drinking starbucks lattes at least once a day. there we saw one of the biggest cathedral in the world which from the tower we got a awsome view of the whole city. we also saw the palace where christopher columbis brought back the news of the new world to the king of spain. from there there we headed to granada where cause of the train system we got scred again and only got to spent the night there, but the hostle was awsome they had a all you can eat bbq for only 5€ needless to say after a full day of traveling we all too full advantage of the all you can eat. we had to leave at 9:25 the next morning we had to do all our sightseeing at night but it was still cool. the next morning started our 14 hours of traveling to get to gandia. we finally got here at 11:45pm and a night early form getting our appartment so we did the only thing we could and spent the night in the park, something i can say i have done and will probly never do again. but we are here now and in our place for the next two weeks so we are all happy and saving money by cooking for our sleves. Amanda and Tanya arrived yesterday and it is nice to see some familar faces from home but weird at the same time thinking that we are all here chilling on the beach in SPAIN. hope this is enough cause i can´t think of anything else to write so till the next one we miss, and love you all

matt tony mark & niall
