My Birthday...Valencia...and a long weekend!

My Birthday Dinner!
Oceonographico
Valencia
This week was great! busy but fun! The week started with a celebration of my 22nd birthday. We went to a Mexican Restaurant with about 15 friends and ate yummy food. I also got a call from my boyfriend and he got me a northface jacket which he is bringing out in November. I am so excited. My parents sent money and put a box in the mail with some amazing American things...i am still waiting on it to arrive though.

The week went by well. I had a lot of homework and was busy with school. Friday rolled around and we left with ISA on a trip to Valencia. When we got there after the 5hr bus drive we checked into the hotel and went to get some food. Nora, Marcela and I ended up eating Chinese food which was really really good. We were running late and had to make a run for the bus so we did not miss the city center tour. It must have been a funny site. I am sure we looked like the people that run to the Cruise boat as it is pulling off.

We toured the city center, went back to the hotel and hung out by the pool and had a chill night with American TV and room service. Also a loooonnnggg hot shower. That was incredible.

The next day we went to the Oceanogaphico. This is a famous aquarium in Valencia and has a lot to see. It is definitely a must do. We saw all the fish as well as an incredible dolphin show. We then ate some lunch got on the bus and made our ways back to Barcelona.

It was nice because there wasa festival on Monday so we did not have school and had two chill days. Sunday night we went and played some pool and fusball and went up to the mountains. The air was so chill and the stars so bright. We started walking up the side of the mountain and were caught off guard when we heard a snorting sound. It was a JAVLIN! we took off running got in the car and headed back! haha! of course laughing all the way back!

Overall the weekend was great. It started off the craziness of October...now on to Italy and study study study for MIDTERMS! Ahhh!
