Busy, Busy, Busy

Time has been flying by lately. Classes keep me busy during the week and there are always things to do on the weekends. Here is what I was up to last week...

Mon June 4 - I had class in the afternoon then I hit up the beach. Only 6 of us were at the beach so it was quiet and I was able to take a good nap! At night I got to skype with Jon for our anniversary which was really great. It is so hard to talk to people at home because of the time difference. One of us is always sleeping when it is ideal for the other to talk.

Tues June 5 - I had class in the morning and had a chill afternoon. I decided to go play soccer with the kids from the school. There were about 20 of us that played. We played 7 vs 7 on a concrete court because the grass fields were full. It was a lot of fun although my soccer skills have decreased since my prime days in seventh grade. We meet some kids from Ukraine who played with us too which was cool to hear about their lives.

Wed June 6 - I walked around old Valencia with Jaclyn and Eileen. The market was open with lots of little shops so we browsed around there. Then we decided to venture in a new direction and see what we found.  We walked down new streets and saw new fountains and statues. We ended up getting a little turned around but found our way home. We stopped to get some drinks because we it was almost 90 out and we had been walking for quite some time. We stopped at a place that had tables on the street. We grabbed a table outside only to find out that the prices are double if you sit outside so we went inside and got lemonade slushyish drinks. They were very lemonadey.

Thurs June 7 - Last day of class before the weekend! I went to the beach right after class. It was a little windy and not too hot so it was a nice relaxing day at the beach. I had my umbrella so I stayed in the shade most of the afternoon to avoid too much direct sun. A majority of the group was there so we got kind of loud on the beach but it was fun. I headed home at 7ish so I could pack for my weekend in Barcelona. After dinner I met up with people from our group and we ventured out to night life on the beach in Valencia. We found a place called Discoteca Akuarela Playa. We got there around 1:30 am which is too early here. The place was empty besides the 20 of us that were there. Around 215 other people started coming.

Fri June 8 - Started my Barcelona Weekend, more to come....
