Wednesday Evening Okay, Wednesday evening we meet Nicole and Lauren at the Tores de Serranos to do some shopping at the market (one of the few open in the evening). Of course before we left this area we had to have some ice cream (before dinner). It is really better than any ice cream I have ever had. Took a few pictures..... Thursday Today we went to the 32nd America's Cup. The boats at the America's Cup were amazing. Once again we did a lot of walking but that was okay. There were also other people's yachts in the marina so we got to see those too. I definately think I could live on one of those things. It was funny to me that the rafts on them were boats with huge motors (not little dinky ... read more

So I would like to put a disclaimer up from the last blog... I am not an alcoholic... lol Last night my friends and I had a sort of last dinner all together, since we have finals and all, we wanted to make sure to celebrate! Instead of having Spanish or Basque food, we ate at a Chinese Restaurant! Yep, Chinese food in Spain, but I guess it is the same as having Chinese food in the US too! It was actually the best Chinese food I have ever had. My friends and I all had spring rolls and then each ordered a dish and we all shared. They brought the dishes out as they were ready, so for an hour we constantly ate. It was nice though, because you weren't stuffing your face all at ... read more

Sevilla was one of our favourite places, so it was too bad we only had one night there. As I said we had travelled here with two friends from Granada; they were in one hostel and we were in a different one just around the corner. The first day we went to the Alcazar, which was yet again another big fortress and palace, with both Islamic and Christian Architecture. Apparently it is also where the King and Queen of Spain stay when they visit Sevilla. My favourite part was the gardens, because they were like 4 times as large as the buildings, and you could wander for hours in them. It also had a labryinth maze made of bushes, but we didnt go too far in because we didn't have time to get lost. which ... read more

Sooo it's the day after my 21st Birthday and let me tell you my head hurts! But it was totally worth it, I'm 21 now! 21 is not a big deal here, because you can drink straight out of the cradle, but all the people at the bars know it is a big deal for an American, so i got free drinks anyways! I will make a list of everything I drank, because it was amazing! at the apartment: Champagne, the cheap stuff that cost 3 euros, but hey I'm not picky yet Sex on the Beach, basically a fruity delicious mix with juice Sangria While playing Kings (a drinking game) we mixed the sex on the beach with the sangria and to our surprise it was quite deilicious Corona with lime, or as they call ... read more
