Oktoberfest!
... sick this morning so classes were not fun. When we got back from class I slept for an hour and a half only to wake up and run a 5k.

Anyway that's all for now, I will add Oktoberfest pictures soon although there are not too many.
Love,
Sean

It was so beautiful! Apparently, Madrid is horribly polluted because ...
I'm just popping out, did you want anything?
I'm not prepared!
I have all my things, that is no problem but how does one prepare for the Camino de Santiago mentally. I have no idea so I'm just going to do it without anything in mind. I originally thought it was going to be a nice way of seeing Spain, practicing Spanish, see places that I would never otherwise get the chance to see and meet new and interesting ...
Toros
... what exactly was going on... by the time the fifth bull came out... our stomachs were sick and we´d had enough. It was too hard to watch.. especially when the guy really sucked at killing the bull. Here´s how it works... the bull runs out and the torero along with his assistants (they also get the cloaks to wave) take turns getting the bull worked up. The idea is to get the bull to charge and narrowly miss ya... the ...
