After all of us Iowa State students left Valencia we went back to Madrid. That weekend we took days trips to the cities of Toledo and Segovia. LOVED Segovia. We got down pured on right when we left to walk arcoss the town to get to the castel! Figures! It was fun. The castle was awesome and Vinesha and I, beling the rebels that we are, snuck into the group with the English speaking tour guide. Our brain hurt from all the spanish of our tour guide. Also, the majority of our friends were in the engligh group!
Vinesha, EJ, and myself left sunday the 13th for Barcelona. Our youth hostel in Barcelona was way up on the side of the mountain. We had to take the metro, then a bus, and then walk another 10-15 minutes until we gt there! Unfortunately, as we were walking there, the main strap on the ruck sack backpak ive been traveling with broke! I had to buy a roll suitcase and move all my stuff in there. The suitcase is a pile of crap and not all th e wheels work, so anytime we have to change locations, it has been quite the work out for me!
In Barcelona we attempted to take a walking tour around the city, but in true Spanish fashion, no one showeded up to give the tour! So, we made Vinesha be our tour guide because she was in Barcelona last summer. She brought us to the old city wjere we spent most of the afternoon and we ate lunch in a fountain, literally. We walked down to the port and watched a few curise ships pull in, fed the fishes, and napped. We also saw this huge staue of Christopher Colombus pointing out t sea. Later, met one of Vinesha's friends who works at this super classy hotel. He brought us up to the roof top pool and EJ and I were in heaven hanging out by the roof top pool ver looking the city! We were experiencing luxury for the first time since we left in May!
Our hostel had a kitchen so we cooked us up some pasta the 2 nights we were there and had wine on the terrace looking at the moutains. Beautiful and soooo relaxing. We went to the beach the next day and enjyed our last day in Spain.
