Last Post....

Well, I'm home home. In south Florida. And damn, does it suck. okay, it's really nice to see my parents and home again, but it sucks because you can't really compare being in the Colosseum one day and then sitting at home in front of your laptop a few days later.

Or being rewarded with amazing macarrones after running your ass home in 100 F weather and then having to run back on a ridiculously full stomach 30 minutes later. I miss Sevilla more than anything else, especially the fun we had as a group, Mama y Papa, Andre (soft), and the city itself.

My biggest regret is that we didn't go hard enough, enough times. I can count on one hand how many times we did it big, and that's not enough for me. At least Andre and I tried to explore the city a few times, but I feel like we didn't do it justice. Seeing the Betis game would have been nice, too, but my sleep got in the way of that. We were also at a disadvantage as 6 weeks, no 5 weeks is just not enough time to live in that city. I envy the people who got to study abroad for 3-4 months. That's real living. And that's real money, too.

A weird thing was how rich I felt in Sevilla(well not rich, but I didnt worry about money as much) as compared to now back at home. It's like every dollar counts, but for some reason the Euro doesn't.

Not that I'm upset about that. If I had been my normal, frugal self in Europe, I would have had a horrible time.

Another major regret is the lack of souvenirs I bought. For some reason I forgot like everyone. I am actually really sorry about that, guys. The fans would have been a great investment, as Andre said, but I just kept putting it off. Stupid.

Oh well, next time I go, I promise I will get shit for everyone I missed this time. Cuz I'm definitely going back. Fo sho.

And then I'll revive this blog...so don't sleep on me, guys. Actually, you can. It may be a while.

Hasta luego, tios.

Leer

Leer leer y leer.

Actually, im complaining over nothing.

Its really not the fact that we have reading, its just the fact that we have to read at all. The stories are sorta annoying, but once u understand all the words, it isnt too bad...

We ended up buying the bus tickets today for Lago, Portugal this weekend

It was 34 E for a round trip and then the hotel will be like 17 E. Hopefully Papa will make us some bocadillos to help the cost of the food for the weekend. But Ill do my best to take some breathtaking pics, or at the very least steal them from Wells.

Yesterday wasnt too bad, we hung out by the Rio which was nice and calm, until my stupid clumsy ass dropped a glass off the table we were sitting at and broke it. Luckily they´re probly just used to dumb gringos doing shit like that all the time.

Tengo que hacer una lista corta de todos mis mishaps...en serio

I´ve almost died at least 10 times while misunderstanding the walk signs and the beeping that goes along when its almost done for crossing. It sounds like a bird chriping and soemtimes the man in green starts fucking sprinting. Its bpretty cool I gotta take a video of it so i dont forget how it is.

Anyway the lista:

1. Ran into a pole (andre was talking with a friend behind me and called my name as we were walkin one direction, so I turned around to say what and....BAM!)
2. Spilled water at dinnertable...not just a little, like a full glass. what a fucking ´gaffe´...thats the spanish word for klutz, says papa
3. Spilled fanta limon at dinnertable....but luckily papa was able to use his fav phrase, ´no pasa nada, no pasa nada´ and then recount a story abotu when he went to the piscina with mama and her friend and they were both wearing black swimsuits and papa was under the water and pinched mama´s ass until he realized it wasnt mama....funny shit right?
4. Almost slipped and broke my head open right outside the isa building with tiphanie and missel...that dirt road will probably kill me soon enough
5. When on a fake boat at Huelva, I almost fell twice on these metals things on the ground, and it was bad because the the boat was on a slope, so i literally would have fallen all the way down the damn thing, titanic style....

i know there are more but class is in 6 minutes and i still havent finished all the way(not that i will) but thats all i got now.

peace and much love to ya!
