hi everyone!
i just added a few new pictures!
we are now back in Alicante! we got in this morning around 9. we took a nap then went to climb to the top of the cities castle.
Barcelona was amazing. crazy busy all the time, and so much to see. the city revolves around its history. we took the metro to the Guell park, and i was a target for a old lady pickpocket. im VERY lucky that i caught her. she was very sneaky and fast. so i was about a 1/2 second away from staying in barcelona for about a couple weeks. we have been doing a lot of walking and sight seeing. tonight we are going to some big dinner and after party with olimps cousin. and sunday we are celebrating her grandpas 91st birthday. he is super amazing i wish all of you could meet him.
well this will probably be my last post till im home. i will share the 300 pictures i have taken with you guys.
love youu

this first picture is at Alicante's castle. the view and water were insane!

these last two are at Barcelona's castle. gotta say Alicante's blows Barcelona's out of the water. but they were both still beautiful!
this is Gaudi sacred familia. probably the most famous buildings in barcelona and one of the most beautiful. too bad it was being renovated. it was still incredible.

this is still guell park at the top :)
the three of us at the famous park gruell.

this last picture is johnny and i at the rainforest bar. superr rad.

first day in Alicante!

Hiii everyone,
so first of all Spain is Amazing so far! i landed in Alicante yesterday around 2pm. (right now its 11:15am) olimps and I just woke up :) we are at an Internet cafe. we have to search for a place we can bring her laptop and use their wifi to uplaod some pictures. buttt, anywayss. when i got into town yesterday i took a taxi to Olimps grandpas house which is the cutest little old building, very spanish and adoreable. after settling in, olimps took me around town, down to the beach, and through the Bario (downtown). the bario is raddd. its a bunch of ally ways combined with many restraunts and pubs. olimps has a couple friends here, knows the town well, and most inportantly is fluent in spanish which makes it alot easier! we walked around all day and night and get to meet a couple of her friends, which have all been superrr nice and they speak english! we ate dinner around 11pm then went out to a pub. we drank and danced all night till about 4am. which is considered early..
today johnny gets in around 2 so were going to go get him then probably head to the beach. hopefully by tomorrow we will be able to upload some pictures!
love you all and miss you guys!
