5.4.3.2.1. take off...

Alright I have two full days left in Madrid. ? I have no idea. It is so strange I cannot believe it. It so overwhelming that I kinda just wanna lay in my bed until it's over.
But don't worry I have been living it up, much to my discomfort because I believe that I am coming down with a cold, although that will come in quite handy when I have sit on a plane from Munich to LA for 12 hours and 30 minutes. Maybe I can scare off the people sitting near me and have a whole row to myself? Ah the power of snot.
Well, In other news I have one whole bag packed! It's very exciting and I don't think I will have a problem fitting the last four and a half months of my life into the other bag because it is quite large.
Lidia is taking Tara and I around Madrid and then out to dinner tonight so I should go get ready. <3 peace out

My First and LAST Bullfight


Well, I should really have known better, but I mean if someone tells you an event is gonna be bloody, yeah you are grossed out... but also intrigued...come on admit it! SO I went to the bullfight and I managed to put out of my mind the fact that they actualy kill a bull.
WELL as I found out after I watched them poke and stab the bull I realized that they did't just kill one but SIX! Needless to say we didn't stay the whole time. It was hard to watch, we got desensitized a little after the first bull was killed, but we still just didn't find any real entertainment factor in men in tight, bright, silly little outfits with capes making a bull bleed to death. So yeah, thats my story, I am home in less than a week and I don't really rember what it is like to live in America.

From Paris with Love.



Well Paris was pretty much amazing. I was excited to go, but I didn't realize how much I would love the city. Everyone always says a city has its own style, but that was never more apparent than it was in Paris. Oh my, I love the random stuff there. I only spent two days, which is a horrible shame, I really needed like a week there. Speaking French would have been helpful but everyone was nice to us, mostly because we at least made an attempt at French, even if it was just "merci." We saw most of the hot spots, including the Mona Lisa.. which my friend illegally took a pic of! I will try and get that from her and post it. Sorry I have behind on the posting but next week is finals and I have been so busy! My astronomy class especially is so much work! AH. Oh well, soon I will be back in the states back to the daily grind and I won't be able to whine about being in Europe (I know, I am a brat, I just miss mis padres y mi hermanita)
