Okay, where do I need to pick up here?
The bullfight was quite the spectacle. So exciting that I had to keep reminding myself how much I am not down with that sort of thing. I kept hoping one of the matadors would get gored (I figure they were there by choice, whereas the bull didn't volunteer), but the closest I got to seeing that was watching some of them bolt for the walls and fling themselves over (that was pretty hilarious in itself though). After the fight we went out for a night on the town and had a great time because it was a fiesta day and everyone was out drinking.
The next day when we woke up we had to trudge to the bus station nursing hangovers just to find out we were at the wrong station!..and the right bus station was right next to the pension we had been staying at!
THEN after finally getting to Cadiz and the coast we found out there were no beds available because it was the weekend and Cadiz is a hot vacation spot, so we moved on down to Chiclana where we STILL couldn't find beds (at least not for
the right price), so we ended up just pitching our tent on the beach and keeping our fingers crossed that we wouldn't get kicked out. Luckily, even though we were right under the noses of all the fanciest resorts, it turned out that no one really cared, although we were definitely out of place.
After that night we moved inland a bit and splurged on a hostel with air conditioning and TV! Still, we're definitely not living the high life - right now we're in the process of washing as many changes of clothes as possible in the sink with a bar of soap (the laundromat is too far away and our feet hurt
). Definitely looking forward to seeing you in Ibiza, Dad.

P.S. When are the rest of you gonna come out here?

Aloha from Hawaii!
Hey guys! Kelli, Dad, and I (and the Parenteau's) got to Kona late last night...our flight was delayed 3 hours! We just read your new blogs and we love the pics. It sounds like you're having an awesome time...although we wish you were having an awesome time here with us. We'll have some pina coladas for you though. Have a few shots of tequila for all of us! Dad says he should be in Ibiza from the 4th to about the 9th...he wants to know when you guys are planning on being there. Have fun! Be safe! (And give mom a call if you can, because she's probably lonely back in Torrance!) Love you! -K and K
