I´m back from outer space.

Hello again old friends!



Well, I know it´s been awhile since I updated, but time is going by so quickly here! (And there´s no air conditioning at the place with free internet...) So this one will be quick.



So I´m back from England and have to say that I really missed Spain. I did some exciting things like walking to Blackpool and being locked in a old jail cell (check off the bucket list) and watching Spain kick butt at the world cup. Mostly though, I just relaxed. Where we stayed, there was a beach five minutes walk away. It was wonderful just to sit, read, and relax.



Now that I am back in Spain, I realize there were a few things I really missed:



Walking everywhere. I feel like I gained ten pounds from not walking everywhere. I´m out of shape now. Supplies!



Being called gringa. Don´t judge. It´s niced to be noticed, even if it´s for your ridiculously pale skin.



Speaking spanish. Even though it was nice to speak English, it felt nice to be back where I had to speak it.



My house mom. Oh my word. I missed her. And she missed me!! BFFs. For real.



Food. Even though we had some stellar food in England like real Fish and Chips (another check off the list) I miss my nightly pudding. It´s chocolate and delicious.





Well, there´s one more small thing that happened since I got back... Spain is in the finals for the World Cup!! I watched the game in the main plaza, and it was MADNESS. People were screaming and dancing and freaking out. There were also a couple hundred people right outside my window shooting off fireworks until the middle of the night. No lie. If Spain wins, I won´t be able to sleep the rest of the time I´m here. Yay!



That´s about it. I´m going to Andalucia this weekend to Sevilla and Granada. I´m really really excited because everyone has said it´s their favorite place. So I´m sure there will be a lot to catch up on.



¡Nos vemos!
