Filijiana, The White City, and other awesome things.

This past week was kind of a 'let's recuperate' week because Barcelona was so jam packed with activities and sleepless nights.

The only noteable things that I can really recall from the week are as follows.

All of which taking place on Friday:

I woke up early in the morning to dreary grey skies outside of my window. There had been a threat of rain all week and I really thought it was ludicrous, apparently, it wasn't. The clouds outside my window reminded me of that Dido song, so I took a picture and sat down to upload it. I really thought that I'd looked at the 'sun' for too long because I had spots in my vision as thought I'd stared into a bright light for more than the 30 allotted seconds for such activities.

However, half way through my walk to school I felt a massive headache ensue and thought it was just pressure from the rain and that it would go away.

When I sat down in class and realized that the thirty minutes that I'd thought had passed has only been a mere fifteen I excused myself and went home with a MASSIVE migraine now hitting it's peak.

I slept for the next two hours until K came home. I got up and sat with her squinting at all of the lights and we walked to an herbal remedy store to get tea for migraines. God Bless this woman, really. She gave me this tea for an extremely reasonable price, seeing as how it worked, and told me exactly how to take it. Ah. If it weren't for her, I'd probably still be holding my head in strait up pain.

So after two cups of Magic Tea R and S came over and we started talking about movies and what not. We all watched Tangled, or as the Spanish call it Enredados, and part of 'The Notebook', or as the Spanish call it,'El Diario de Noa'. 


Saturday, I met up with R to plan Italy and to study, but S couldn't meet so we decided to just go shopping instead. K and A joined us and we all got really cute outfits. I feel like such a girl with them, they all dress me up like a life size barbie.

After our shopping extravaganza I left with R to go to Tapas wearing my new outfit and we went to a few different places just to show her friends around the town and show them what free food looks like and how good it is.






Today, Sunday,

We went to Nerja, a really beautiful beach and Filijana (Phily-hana), a little town made up of small white houses. ALL white houses. It's really pretty, google it, or check out my facebook photos.


So at 8am we headed out to go to this far of beach for lunch, a great view, and more cultural things.

The look out at the beach was wonderful, it reminded me SO much of Cadiz. It was way hotter than any of us expected though, which sucked, because we were all in boots and hoodies, and it was actually beach weather.
We sat and had lunch at this amazing Paella place, with a paella pan that was about three feet in circumfrence FILLED with yummyness. It was amazing, filling, and just all around mouthgasmic.
After lunch we went down to the beach and sat in our clothes under our rain umbrellas and just talked about life and how hot it was.

R and I went to get drinks and tapas before we had to leave which worked out beautifully, then headed to the white city.

There were a bunch of great look outs and all, but after laying on a beach for two hours, all anyone really wants to do is take a nap... which was impossible while we were walking uphill. But it was beautiful. The scenery really reminded me of pictures that I'd seen of Greece.

It was really a beautiful place, with great views and unforgiving heat, buuuuut take some give some.

We all slept like rocks on the way home, which was epic. :)


That's it.

Dinners ready

Deuces.
