Update, sorry.

Yes, I'm back! And so sorry it took so long! Since I left you not too much has actually happened... We took my host sister out to smoke shisha with us which was quite the experience if I do say so myself! But after that she left for Brussels to visit her bf for a week and then again for London so it's been pretty quiet around this house. I have seen Segovia, Avila, Barcelona, Lillo (skydiving), and now this weekend went to Toledo. So I have been taking advantage of my weekends here...

I missed the bus to Toledo this weekend. We were at Kapital Friday night, which is a dance club with 7 floors of different music and people! Plus, it was the weekend of Carnaval, which is a huge party throughout all of Spain kind of like Mardi Gras but with more extravagant costumes and many more performances! So the dance club was completely wild :) It was an amazing time and we stayed out dancing and wandering around until 6am, but I definitely paid the consequences at 9:05 when I received the call from Jackie asking "Donde estas?" The bus left at 9:15. I luckily was able to frantically find the station and take my own and met a nice girl who led me to find my friends... so I saw the city after all, which rocks :)

After that we intended to go the Real Madrid game but by the time we all found each other, and the correct ticket window, in the frenzy that is futbol, the only tickets left were upwards of 100$... so that is the one experience in this trip that I missed out... A little disappointing, but I honestly think I couldn't have seen more in my time here! I've seen pretty much every monument in Madrid, the surrounding cities, idk what more there is! And I am so happy about that...

Oh one more thing... terrorists are big here. More in a sec.
