So my cousin Guillermo has been in Spain for the last couple of months or a year getting his masters degree in computer engineering. So of course, like any loving cousin, I went to see him all the way in Spain (what a drag XD) lol. So I have documented it for you all to see….HAVE FUN READING!!!
It took forever to get there, but we got there :D. Day one was traveling!
Day Two: So we first went to the beach on my second day there, since it takes forever to get there from New York, so I just HAD to go to the beach and relax a bit. This is Barcelona…
Me enjoying the beach, trying to tan but I failed miserably, LOL!
Sea shells we collected…She sells sea shells by the sea shore…
My cousin by the water.
The sunset was soooo beautiful. Makes me miss Barcelona : (
While my uncle was driving us back home, I insisted on getting coffee, even if it was already late, you see, for I am a coffee addict, yes, I admit it, I’M A COFFEE ADDICT, LMAO!!!
On to day Three: So I wanted to go to the park, but my cousin Guillermo wanted to go golfing, so we compromised and we first had a picnic at the park, and then we went golfing
Golfing was…interesting.
Driving back to the house to get ready for dinner and a special performance by my aunt who has a belly dance school.
My auntie is the middle one. How awesome is she??? And she’s a dentist to boot!
After the show…
My cousin tried on some funny hats.
Day four: Site seeing. You cant go to a country and not sight see, so I went sight seeing!
That’s a modern kind of park, it’s pretty cool.
Thats La Sagrada Familia. It was made by Gaudi, but unfortunately it was never finished. Non the less, it’s still a beautiful building. I loved it being an architecture student!
I love the awesome structures everywhere!!!
At the market….YUCK!!!
Now on to the weird things i saw during my sight seeing adventure
These are actually people for all of you who wish to know
It’s uncanny how fake they look. The last one is fake by the way. I don’t really know how they did it to this day. LOL :0
Later that night
Day five: So while i was there, we went to Galicia, which is another place in Spain. I have family there so we went to visit them.
That was on the way to Galicia, on the bus
A cool bridge in Galicia
In town, we passed by a couple cool things
A cool statue of something, idk, we didn’t stop by for me to read what it really was.
A church in Galicia, it had a lot of weird and creepy trees in front. It did give the church character though.
A Town in Galicia, and the view from the mountain that we climbed. That was a very tiring afternoon.
Day 6: Was spent in my aunts house eating and sharing stories
Thats me, my mom, dad, and two brothers. I miss them, going away for college is not always a good thing : (
Day 7: Some awesome sight seeing!!!
These were stone ruins or something, but they kind of looked like stone mazes to me XD
And of course, THE SMURFS!!!! Everyone’s favorite blue buddies.
So on our last day in Galicia, we just spent the day with the family, enjoying and appreciating eachother
Day Nine: On our way back to Madrid, where I witnessed the Tomatina, which is an event where people smothered each other with tomatoes. I, of course, did not participate in the event, but I saw from the window and took pictures for all of you to witness too!
So many people participated in the event. It looked like a lot of fun, but I didn’t wan to get covered in tomatoes. LOL!!!
So on our final day there, there was a lot of shopping done. And then sadly we all had to say our tearful goodbyes and had to head back home to good old New York, New York!
Home, Sweet Home!!!
Till next time folks! I hope you enjoyed my adventure!!!
