Spain

Banana: (Spain, Barcelona, Seville)

Sooo last we wrote that we were catching a train at 630am and this was not fun at all. See we had to switch trains 5 times in one day and at some of the stops we had only 10mins in between train departures which for about three of them we had to run too lol... so image seeing Shan and I running with our backpacks.( ya was pretty funny)

So we did our first stop in Barcelona and we did not arrive until 7pm that night and we were starving, so we decided to go for an authentic Spainish meal. Well we decided to share a few tapas items and one being these chicken nugget type of things so we were like good no more mystery meat lol... Well were we wrong, these sooo called chicken nuggets were disgusting (YUCK) sooo let me describe them to you and you can judge for yourselves lol.... Best way to describe them to you is they are an outside layer of a chicken nugget but on the inside its all mushy and shit.... Its basically taking a McChicken Nugget and blending it in a blender then injecting it back into the shell of the nugget! GROSS, i was basically gaging in my mouth lol... The best part of our dinner was our VINO suprsing right lol.... Best Vino so far has to be spain, we wish we could ship it home :( after dinner we ventred down to the main square called las ramblas and it was nice but very dead as it was a Monday, and we were a little nervous going out alone there... so we stayed out till about 3am

So our second day in Barcelona was a very chill day all we wanted to do was go by the sea and chill with our tubes... which was just what we did. the sea in Barcelona had alot of waves but it was very warm and very nice beaches.. Later that night we went got our geroceries for the next few days and were going to start to make our first real meal at home we were so excited.. Honestly this was the best meal we have had in Europe lol and we cooked it lol... (chicken, noodles and Broccoli!!!!!) yummy! Honestly we are going to have to slowly wein ourselves off of CARBS!!! we hate them lol...

Next day we went and did abit of sight seeing in Bacelona we went and saw the famous cathedrial that Gauidi desgined and is still being built to this day. there is so much detail to this building that I believe over 5 to 6 diffrent contractors have had an input on the building. We went and saw the famous statue of Christopher Colombus and walked around Las Ramblas for a bit of shopping and to wonder around and look at all the Gypsy. Later that night we made another dinner and wemt out for our final night in Barcelona to go to Seville for another long train ride 12hours straight this one!

So we got up at 630am to catch our train and with about three hours of sleep and us both sooo tired we were not happy campers at all lol... So we boarded our train which was okay but very uncomfortable and no one spoke english so this was very hard because about half waz into the train ride to Seville we came to a complete stop in the middle of nowhere and we were literally stuck their for over 2hours not able to find out what was going on.... So our sooo called 12hour train ride turned into 15hours a big FML.... lol but we made it safe and sound

Our first day in seville we walked along their famous little river to go and find this gold tower the bull fighting ring and this famous park called Maria Luisa and let me tell you the walk was hell in the heat and because we are in the desert basically right now it get to be about 38 degrees by 2pm and is sooo dry.. but once we reached the park after a 45min walk it was covered by trees and many fountains it was beautiful... We rented a two person bike which was sooo much fun and we did abit of off roading with it lol lots of fun! So we thought we would give Spain another try on the dinner soo we went out again and let me tell you we hate the food to fatty and gross, we do not understand why they have to put ham in everything lol

Today we went on a walking tour of seville learmed about all the history and that was very intresting lots of info on this little place... after that we went did a little shopping around the main center checked all the shops out and now we are off for hopefully a good dinner that our tour guide has recommended... wish us luck!

love you guys!!!
