Ok! It's time for the massively long update! I'm sorry I didn't get a chance but last week was crazy! So now I get to tell  you all about what Tiff and I did and what we got to see and how incredible it was. I put up pictures on Facebook, and I don't know how many i'll be able to put on here because there are LOTS of good ones, so we'll just see how it goes. Friday: Tiffany came into town, we went to a great Japanese Restaurant for lunch that I had been wanting to try. We walked around the city for a bit, running errands like getting bus passes and groceries. Tiffany was pretty out of it, so we went back to the apartment and went to bed pretty early. However, I had bought some fresh, ripe strawberries from the market for two euro the day before, so Tiff and I had some chocolate fondue to finish those off... that was our supper. It was a fantastic supper. Saturday morning we went to the beach! I don't have any pictures of the beach...why I don't know. Maria and Caramelo were kind enough to drive us and let us stay in their beach apartment for a night. I don't think they even went to the beach, but Tiffany and I attempted. I say attempted because we went the wrong way exploring, and somehow we ended up in ghetto beach, so we had to find our way back to a bus stop, which took us back into town, and we finally found the beach, which was in fact about a two minute walk from where we started. Yay us. During this process I got sun poisoning, because I had intended to put on sunscreen when we got to the beach. After two hours of walking and carrying a heavy beach bag my body rebelled. We did find a nice shop window which was conveniently orange and purple. Tiffany got to take a good Clemson picture. So all in all we spent about 2 hours actually at the shore. We did eat a good seafood lunch, which was unexpectedly expensive, as an understatement. Sunday night we went home, but on the way stopped at Maria's daughter's house, which was massive. It didn't look like it from the outside, but we got a tour. It had a swimming pool and a few large flat screen TV's and an overall coolness about it. The best part was the roof, they said they were going to make a zen garden up there. The view was absolutely breathtaking. I was really glad we stopped to hang out with them. On Monday I had school so Tiffany went with me. She wanted to go to class with me, so I let her, but she decided not to on Wednesday, lol. We did have time to eat a really good breakfast of tostadas in the cafeteria that morning. After class we went to BodyWorlds, an exhibit on the human body. It was fantastic. We both really enjoyed it. We were in close proximity upon exiting BodyWorlds to visit the Plaza de España, which is a massive building, I think used for government purposes. Still, it is a main tourist site, and reference point, because it is so beautiful, and huge. 

Since we still had some free time, we went and ate lunch at McDonalds, because I was craving it, and then we went to IKEA, where I bought some Tupperware, and Tiffany bought a nice set of coffee mugs. Tiffany had never been to IKEA before, so she was really excited to get to go! In Spain they do not say "eye key uh". Instead they say "ee kay uh". It was interesting to me, but I suppose it makes sense. We were wondering if you could register there for your wedding gifts, cuz that would be awesome, not that either one of us has any plans of getting married any time soon.  That was mostly all of our Monday. Tiff bought some great chocolate at IKEA, we also had some great melted chocolate and waffles at the beach. I love hot chocolate now, now that I know what hot chocolate is. It's fantastic. I'm so glad I can still be a chocoholic in Spain. So that's about it for Monday's journey, I'm going to create a new post for Tuesday.
