A few las parting words from Spain

Well my time here in Spain is almost over. I´ve had a great time. Madrid, El Prado, El Buen Retiro, Barcelona, El Museu Picasso, Parc Guell, Casa Batllo, Monserrat, La Rambla, Drinking 7€ drinks with a group of rather good looking Irish guys, walking, and walking, and walking I feel like I´ve walked across Spain. The port of Barcelona is beautiful, and I rode on a subway for the first time, that was an experience. Salamanca is definately my city of choice. The university was wonderful as were my teachers Toñi & Sergio. My classmates were awesome and kept things interesting. Our family, Manoli, Angel, y Pilar, the nicest people in Salamanca.
It will be weird coming home to little ole Cook, where there´s not 100,000 people, no ham hanging in the window of basically every store you pass, no crazy drivers, well there are crazy drivers in Cook, but they´re nothing compared to Spanish drivers. I´m excited to see my family, Mom, Dad, Trevor, Hunter, Sam, Grandma, Grandpa, and everyone else.
But I will stop reminising already, and leave with one last comment.
I want a hamburger!!!!!!

Just another day in Spain

Well it´s saturday now.
Spain is still beautiful, and still hot. It´s a weekend so there´s not a whole lot to do. I went to the Boroque Market, it was nice, but didn´t have as many little shops as I was expecting. I ate lunch with Blanca because Laura has abandoned me to be with her parents.
I took a short siesta and then i went to a movie, I wanted to go to Sahara with Matther McCoughney, but it wasn´t playing, so I went to After the Sunset with Pierce Brosnan.
There´s going to be fireworks tonight and then i get to talk to like my whole family because they´re at a surprise party for my brother.
That´s about it, my life is kind of boring if you don´t count the fact that I´m in Europe!
Anyways I´ll talk to everyone later!
Chau, Hasta Luego
