blech.

okay, calm down. we're going to paris, just later in the trip.
we're in Madrid right now, seeing as we couldnt get any tickets to Valencia. but soon! SO SOON.
by that i mean, the day after tomorrow.
Madrid has been awkward. we could only book last night and tomorrow night in the hostels, cause they're all booked up tonight, so we had to find a hotel (which i am at now, and is a four star hotel, and it was super cheap, and it is so nice, and i kind of love it...)
but its been so gross and rainy since we got here, like pouring rain today, and the hotels website said it was close to the airport, so we took a taxi, and judging by the size of my wallet afterwards, it wasn't so close.
i want to get to valencia, and i want it to be sunny, and i want to lie on a beach. yes.
we tried planning out greece, but its awkward to get to. cause we either haveto take a LOOONNNGGG train ride there, for like, next to nothing moneywise, or spend WAY more money than wanted/needed on plane tickets/ferry tickets.
sooo...i really do hope we'll get there, because it seems like we have a lot of time left for long train rides, but who knows. maybe we'll go up to Norway and watch a hockey game or something instead ;)

Barcelona was lovely. our hostel, the town, the sights, everything. just lovely.
we went on another hop on hop off bus tour there, and the only thing we hopped off to do was the zoo!
so we went to the zoo.
also, peacocks are native to spain, apparently, so they just kind of hang out, around zoos, like pigeons.
also, PEACOCKS ARE JUST AS ATTRACTED TO FOOD AS ANY OTHER BIRD, EXCEPT THEY ARE MASSIVE AND WILL PROBABLY KILL YOU FOR IT..
not that i was scared or anything...ughhh.

ehm...yes. the bus tour was really cool.
if any of you have been watching how i met your mother (as we are) you know how in the last episode Ted's lecture was on Gouidi's unfinished chapel??? yeah, dont mean to brag, but we were there. we saw it.
it was actually really cool and beautiful. since he died, its been being built at a pace of however much money they get through donations. they also offer tours, and the ticket money from the tours goes towards it being finished. its totally massive already, too, and just gorgeous. if you want to google it, please feel free, i just have no idea what it is called or how to actually spell his name. Try Gouidi...if not Goidi?possibly Guidi? i think the last one mighhhtt be your best chance. then just type Unfinished Chapel afterwards. OR YOU COULD TRY 'unfinished chapel-barcelona' and i bet it would come up.
holllaaaa.
its honestly pouring rain and is so cold. i could literally see my breath.
and i thought spain was warm...weird.
i really want to go to greece.
but after Valencia, italy is next. so hopefully its nice there, we're going further south, into the southern parts of italy, like...some cities in the south...
friggin im sorry, i don't know italian geography.

this is mostly me rambling because im bored...
i think we're going to TGIFRIDAYS tonight...
yayyy...





k bye.
