Day 5: Valen(SEA)AH!

Get the joke?
No?
Valencia cuenta con el mayor acuario de Europa.

Y algunos delfines realmente increibles ...

Y algunos buceadores realmente grandes que hacen una danza que los delfines unirse a.

Fue muy caluroso, y habia tantos animales asombroso.

Tienen mas de 45.000 especies. Algunos eran un poco de miedo, como los tiburones. Tienen un tunel que se puede caminar a traves y ver a estos peces pequeños y tiburones grandes mas que nadar.


Here are some pictures(:

 

Day 4: On the Road

Dia cuatro WOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!

Creo que se lo merecia algun tipo de celebracion.

Se que estoy hablando del pasado, pero permítanme parpadeara hasta la actualidad:

Estoy tratando de recordar lo que hicimos ese dia ... y ahora estoy pensando WOW cuarto dia?! Tiempo movia tan despacio!

Back to the past:
We visited La Sargrada on the 12 and spent the 13th learning...............
WAKAWAKA (:
Llegó el momento, caen las murallas
Va a comenzar la unica justa de las batallas
No duele el golpe, no existe el miedo
Quitate el polvo, ponte de pie y vuelves al ruedo
Y la presión, se siente
Espera en ti tu gente
Ahora vamos por todo
Y te acompaña la suerte
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Porqué esto es África
Tsamina mina eh, eh
Waka Waka eh, eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Porqué esto es África
Oye a tu dios y no estarás solo
Llegaste aquí para brillar y lo tienes todo
La hora se acerca, es el momento
Vas a ganar cada batalla, ya lo presiento
Hay que empezar de cero
Para tocar el cielo
Ahora vamos por todo
Y todos vamos por ellos
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Porqué esto es África

We even learned a dance to it. It sort of became an inside joke between the whole group. Go group bonding! Wooh!

Day 3: LA RAMBLA

We wake up in the morning tired but refreshed. Breakfast: WAY BETTER THAN DINNER.
Pastries all over place, and man do I love pastries.
We walk around some more and then finally, lunch time(heck yeah!). Some people wanted to go to The Hard Rock Cafe. Um, we're in SPAIN, why eat more American food?
So I convinced some of my friends that we go to a legitimate spanish restraunt. Everyone had paella. In fact we ordered one giant bowl of it.
That's whatsup. It was delicious, though the chicken was weird and I was afraid it was obvious that we were tourists. The restraunt was blasting Nikki Minaj and I may have possibly introduced my new group of friends, to my hidden talent: rapping.
Just kidding.
We had only had an hour to eat so by the time the food came everyone had to grab their spoons and shove it into their mouths like cavmen.
Just kidding again.
Not.
Then we all had a choice, we could either go to El Centro Ingles, El Camp No, or walk down La Rambla!
I chose the last one, and was paired with Jacob and Daniel, whom I had thought were really quiet and awkward. (No offense guys).
BUT, during our walk together I got to know them by rapid fire interrogation. A few examples
Cual es tu fruta favorita?
Que dones va a comprar para su familia?
Tambien me di cuenta de que Jacob tenia miedo de cabezas de cordero. Sin embargo, eran bastante asqueroso.
Oops, I meant, I found out that Jacob had a fear of lamb heads, then again they were pretty gross.
And shaved, which is a bit odd, but if I were to buy a lamb head I would rather it be shaved then still cute and fuzzy.
Honestly they were pretty cool, though still a bit quiet (quite unlike myself). Oh and neither of them like grapefruit. Which happens to be MY favorite fruit.
Who cares though, because I just made me some new friends.
Oh and I bought these gift for my family, (mugs and what not) however they ended up breaking... JML.

Day 2: BARCELONA

Oh Barcelona!
Te extraño! What a beautiful place.
Im going to say this is the second day because as you probably read in my last post, I was exhausted and seriously confused on the subject of what day it was.
So we get off the plane, take a bus to the hotel (did we do that first?) dropped off our stuff and changed, then went and took a so-called "SHORT WALK" down La Rambla and what I'm assuming was the center of the town. The walk was nearly unbearable, I remember thinking that I was going to fall over and just sleep. The view though is what kept me awake. Everything was so alive! And their were little nooks that you could walk through that would lead to a closed off court yard and even a market off the side. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
We had a wonderful lunch at a place that was blasting Nikki Minaj (LOL.) Paella the first-ish second day. Wooh!
Then we split up.
I went with a few strangers down la rambla, man were they quiet! But being the loud person I am, I continually asked them several questions like what their favorite fruit is.
Invigorating, no?
But *spoiler alert* we became pretty close in the trip and I feel like part of the reason was because I had chosen to walk with them
Though said once again, in every bad there is good.
The Bad:
No sleep
Didn't know anyone
No sleep
Had a headache
No sleep
We were eating weird food
No sleep
Having to walk around after being in Airports and Airplanes for over 20 hours
Oh and um, NO SLEEP
The good:
Red Wine Vinegar
We got beds that night
Met some amazing new people
We had Martha as our tour guide
