It Is Time..

Today we went to the Prado Museum. It was nice but kind of boring. You can only look at so many paintings until they all start to look the same. Plus, my brain is on overload from all the things ive seen and learned these past few days. After the museum we went to this huge park in the middle of Madrid. It was very pretty and relaxing. It wasnt like parks in the US. There wasnt any soccer fields or basketball courts or anything like that. It had tons of lil paths and flowers and this pretty lake in the middle. When we left the park we set out on an adventure to find this very fancy restraunt we had heard about. We had to walk a while until we found it but when we got there i ordered a 1/4 pounder with cheese from the McMenu. It was delicious!!! hahaha anyway now we are about to go shopping... cuz we have free time til 8. So i will talk to you all later.. See ya tomorrow!!

The Big City..

Seville and Granada were much better than Malaga. Everyone is in a happier mood now because things are finally going smooth. We went on tours of two cathedrals and a few palaces in Seville and Granada. They were beautiful.. its amazing that things that beautiful could be created that long ago. Seeing all these old buildings has made me realize how young the US is.. but i still love it!! Last night Brandi, Chelsea and I also went to watch this gypsie family perform flamenco dancing. It was fun but we were very tired so it was hard to enjoy it. I kinda thought it was just a bunch of random stomping anyway.. maybe thats just because i used to clog. I felt like jumping up and showing them how its really done haha kidding. I think the thing i have enjoyed most though is going shopping in all the little shops. One thing we have all learned though is that they all mostly have the same things. You also learn that after you buy something and walk into the next shop you find it 2 euros cheaper. You just can´t win here. Its pathetic :) Im having a good time but I can´t wait to get back home. I miss my family and friends and mi perrito :)

Morocco

Today we went to morocco.. it was very interesting. It was a big culture shock. We walked through the market of a village where people go every day to buy and sale meat, fruit, vegetables and just misc. stuff. Some pple welcomed us with a smile and other pple treated us like we were invading there homes.. which we practically were. i was a bit uncomfortable sometimes. Men followed us around the whole village trying to sell us their "stuff". A couple of guys even tried selling me stuff through the bus window when we were about to head back to Spain. It was a good experience though.
I look forward to going to Seville tomorrow.. My roommates and i have had bad luck with our hotel room in malaga so we are looking forward to getting a new hotel. Well thats all i have for now.. ill try to post again tomorrow.. bye
