The sun EXISTS!!!

Hello all!
So...GOOD NEWS! After about a week of overcast weather and rain, we had a SUNNY day yesterday!

[Picture: Me, ghostly pale, basking in the warm sunlight - "OH HEY SHADOW! Haven't seen you in forever!"]

And right now, after a little mist, the sun is peeking out from behind the clouds - looks creepy cool with the dark horizon - probs another storm coming in - and the bright sun.  You have no idea how happy the sun can make a person until you are thrown into another country, where you know only a bit of the language and it rains CONSTANTLY. I'm a very happy girl at this moment.  Thanks, Mr. Golden Sun!


This past weekend, a few girls in my group and myself took a day trip on Sunday to Padron - only a 20ish minute train ride.  At first, we were somewhat pissed that we brought our bombies since it was not raining, just a bit overcast (umbrella -> bumberella -> bombie  ---- pronounced bOmbee ---- yes, my imagination is a bit crazy).  But as we were walking around the mercadillo (kind of like the 7-mile fair), the skys, once again, opened up and it rained for the rest of the time we were there (so in the end, I thank God that I brought my bombie).  I swear that market had anything/everything you could imagine: fish, meat (smelled horrible!), cheese, bread, churros (SO delish), shoes, boots, scarves, jackets, socks, undies, trees, flowers, fruit trees, pig noses (absolutely DISGUSTING!), octopus and so much more.  It was also VERY fun to people watch - I love how wherever you may be in the world, there will always be some strange ones...HAHA :)

SNORT SNORT - eeewwww!

URRRRSULA - from the little mermaid.
Yep, that's what I think about when I see octopus...I'm five years old.

But, I must be going - Celina, Tessa and I are getting together a little bit later to plan out some vacations and see where our next adventure will be :)

Much love <3
Hasta luego!
