time of my life!

Not having internet at my apartment poses a problem for keeping up with the blogging in addition to the fact that I am just not really good at it. My adventures up to this point have included:
Dream weekend in Paris, France. Toured the Louvre, Eiffel Tower, Sacre Couer, Notre Dame, Musee d'Orsay, Arc d'Triomph, and Catacombs. I have never tasted greater food in my life (besides my mother's cooking...or Cafe Rio's smothered pork burritos...) I had three crepes in three days and it just wasn't enough. It was a truly incredible weekend.
The group traveled to Sevilla and Granada, another dream weekend. The weather was beautiful and we could finally lose the jackets and enjoy the sun. We rented bikes and toured Sevilla laughing hysterically the entire time.
This past weekend we also traveled to Toledo which was a really convenient, fun trip.
MOST IMPORTANTLY, Kip discovered a "secret show" put on by myspace and vodafone for Neon Trees in Madrid. Neon Trees is a band from Provo, so naturally the group was really excited to go. We showed up early enough to get front row at a venue right by Sol called Joy. Tyler, the lead singer, was serenading me the entire time, and during the 2nd song he got down on a knee at just the right angle that I could successfully slip my BYU ID into his front pocket. He sang the rest of the songs with that bad boy securely in the pocket. Every time he came close to me I jumped up and pushed it down a little bit to ensure it wouldn't fall out on the stage. I am still anxiously waiting for some facebook contact.
On another note, Abby and I are also pleased to announce that our favorite cereal, Aros Integrales, has resurfaced in the cupboard. Arroz con leche every night and Aros Integrales every morning...we are spoiled!

On Wednesday we will be traveling to the Canary Islands, next Wednesday to Bilbao, and the next to Barcelona. We will only have class Monday and Tuesday for the next three weeks. Ughhhh!! So hard!!!!!!

Needless to say, my life is just too good right now.
