I think I am living in a dream!!

And yet again... another weekend adventure!!!! This time, four days!! Yeah!! The kids had school off for a Holiday, which meant no work for us!! We got on the cheapest bus we could find and headed South!! Unfortunately, cheap didn't mean fast. It took us six and a half hours to get to beautiful Sevilla, but it was SOOO worth it!! It is down south, and the weather was amazing!!!

These are the girls that came with me!!! Jo, Marie, and Lini! We all had a blast together!!

In the bus station!

In the beautiful gardens of the Alcazar!

There were tiny cobblestone streets, and orange trees everywhere!! It was amazing!!

Takin a rest after all the walking we did!!

Jo and I heading to the theatre to watch tradition Flamenco Dancing!

This was a river that runs along the side of the main city of Sevilla. We rented a paddle boat, bought some popsicles, and had a nice day in the sun!!

Marie and I.. the heat might have gotten to us a little but too much!

We went and took a tour of the Plaza de Toros! Too bad there wasn't a bull fight to watch... I need to see one before I go!

We walked up the Bell Tower of the Cathedral, and this is the view from the top!! Absolutely incredible!!

The front of the Cathedral!

Sevilla in the night time!!! I loved it there!!!! There were palm trees everywhere!

This was by far my favorite weekend adventure yet. It was SOO much fun!! The first night we were there, we all pitched in and went on a horse and carriage ride. I felt like I was living in a dream!! I love my life!!!

Toledo!!

Well another weekend adventure for me!! Kate and I got on a bus and went to the city of Toledo!! It was amazing!! The cathedral was huge, and we had a lot of fun walking on the streets. They were all very narrow cobblestone streets again, my favorite! It was over 80 degrees outside so at one point we sat down on some benches and soaked up the sun!! It was really fun to get to know her better, and see more famous sites in Spain!!

The city of Toledo behind us!! It was amazing!!

The castle in Toledo!!

Coolest stop light I have seen yet!! It was tiny for the little streets!!

Outside the doors of the cathedral! It was amazing!!!

Think my shirt is bright enough?

Kate and I before we got on the bus. Behind us is a pond filled with a million turtles!! It is right in the middle of the train station... it is really cool!!

At the end of the night!! I love living in Spain!!!!!!!!

El Escorial!!

Last Friday... the girls and I decided to skip school and take a train to El Escorial! It is a big historical site here in Spain! It used to be the house of the king of Spain wayyy back. It now is a monastery, royal palace, museum, and school. We took a tour of it and saw the gardens. It was amazing!!

My girls and I! I have made such cute friends here!! I love them all!! I will start with me.. going clockwise : me, Elina (Finland), Marie (Germany), Sabine (Germany), and Jo (England). We have a lot of fun together, and frequently make fun of eachothers accents! They are all nannies as well, and we all go to the same language school learning Spanish.

Goofing off at the end of our tour!!

The gardens were amazing!!

Some guys on the street tryin to make some money!! I love living in Spain!!!

Chin Chon!!

Alright... another weekend adventure! We rode on a bus for an hour to the middle of no where to get to a little city named Chin Chon. It is one of the spots to visit in my tour guide book! haha It is famous for its main plaza. It holds a huge bullfight but only once a year, and unfortunately it isn't until the Summer time... but we still wanted to see it! There are cafe's all around the circle so we just ate lunch and talked for a few hours. It was a very small town, but a lot of fun for a day trip!

The crane looks so good in the background.

There was a line of donkeys taking small children for rides! It was so cute!!
