Finally an update!

Okay, so I have finally have a good Internet connection and time to update my blog. I am in Germany now after spending 3 glorious weeks in Ametlla, a little town an hour and half south of Barcelona! The villa was absolutely amazing. Pictures really do not do it justice. Time at the villa generally consisted of swimming in the pool, going to Afrika (yes I spelled that way on purpose - it's the German way), and just relaxing in the sun. Afrika is what we call a little island beach area. It's a good hike to and from it but completely worth it. I am a nice golden brown all over. Hopefully it will last until I return home. If not, oh well I suppose. We also went to Tarragona and looked at the Roman leftovers. It was pretty cool. The best part of Ametlla though was going to the Castle of Miravet. It had a beautiful view and I came to the conclusion that I wanted a castle. Haha. I better get writing if I think I'm ever gonna have one.

Mom and I spent 4 days in Barcelona before she returned home. It was super fun! We ate at the Hard Rock Cafe and took a tour around the city, by day and by night. They had these amazing dancing fountains there called "the Magic Fountains." There were comparable to the Bellagio Fountains. I was seriously mesmerized by them. They weren't cooler than the Bellagio, just different. I think the Fountains were my favorite part of Barcelona. The whole experience though was amazing. I found myself attempting to memorize every detail of every moment. It was so fantastic and if I had only gotten to do that I would have been extremely grateful.

However, I get to go to Germany as well. I'm here now and we went shopping today. It was fun, difficult but fun. My cousin, Sabrina, is a wonderful guide and interpreter. I had a good time pretending to understand what salesclerks were saying. Haha. We're headed to Salzburg tomorrow for the day. I'm hoping it will be an interesting experience. The German countryside is beautiful. I love it! It rained all day and was actually rather cold. I wasn't expecting cold but managed fairly well. It's supposed to be pretty summer weather for the next couple of days.

I miss all of you very, very, VERY much! I'll try and post some pictures on my facebook. I'll also attempt to update my blog more often and add some more details about stuff. I know this post is rather vague but there's just too much to post right now. Love to everyone!!!!!!!
