Coming at you for the first time from the steps of my University in Seville, Spain. I just got back from a crazy weekend in Ronda and Marbella. Ronda is a beautiful city south of Seville. We went to a bullring, it is said to be the oldest in Spain, and it was beautiful. Then again everything in Spain so far has been beautiful. Well except for the guy in the ally way yesterday (think x rated). Ronda also has this amazing bridge and ruins. I think the pictures will say more then I can. From Ronda a group of us went down to Marbella which on the coast of the Mediterranean. I believe it is also called Costa del Sol. OMIGOD! It was beautiful. We stayed at the Hostal del Pilar, which was a 5-minute walk to the beach. The best way to describe Marbella is a naked, party, beach town filled with foreigners. The buildings are ancient and the cobblestone streets wind into continuous mazes. Everything opens late because the people are out late the night before. I now know why the whole town takes a siesta. Clubs don’t open till midnight. So, my theory is that people stay out all night go to work around 11am and then take their siesta from 1-5 and then do it all over again. Europeans are crazy partiers. Not that this is a surprise, but I was in every night by 2. What can I say but that I enjoy my sleep. However I did loosen up a little. I was walking on the beach admiring old people in tiny bikinis and Speedos when I ran into some guys that are in the British royal navy. They invited me and a few girls out on some boats with slides, they paid. 3 of the 7 guys stripped naked. I can now say from this experience that British guys are quite vulgar. Thankfully I was not on that boat and I only witnessed the x-rated show from a far. This little fiesta at sea lasted about 3 hours. Never in my life have I seen people drink so much. I have to say apart from their crude behavior the guys were quite funny. Glenn was the guy on my boat and he was lovely.
The next day I got up early, around 730, so that I could catch the bus. That was about the time many of the girls were coming home from the night before.

I am home safe and am planning a trip north. I love you all and will try to keep writing. Hopefully my stories will improve.

I am going to Spain Sept. 18th
