Hey everyone!!!

Hola!! Hope you are all doing well. I arrived here in Barcelona yesterday afternoon after an amazing trip to Scotland. So far, I absolutely love Barcelona, it's such a beautiful city and there's actually palm trees here! Yay, and it's much warmer than the negatives in Scotland we were experiencing, so that's a welcome change! Anyways, so today we are going to check out the beach and do some shopping, maybe something else, I don't know, and tomorrow is probably going to be spent on the main road Las Ramblas, which is supposed to be incredible, and sightseeing of course, but enough of that, back to Scotland! So, I would totally recommend going there, Edinburgh was one of the most incredible cities I've seen, it was sooooo pretty! So, I lived in a big, but shitty, but good location flat (for free, don't ask, to long to explain), with Amanda, Katrin, and three Paraguans, being Maria, Tuti, and Cindy. It was good fun, and I sure enjoyed the cable TV, a little to much I think, but hey, I've been deprived of all TV for far too long! But ya, so we got to go on this incredible tour driving through the snow-capped mountains in the Scottish Highlands, and it was sooooo beautiful! And that took us up near Inverness (northern Scotland), to Loch Ness and Urquhart Castle! Loch Ness was stunning, and massive, and we got to take a boat tour on it, so that was cool, didn't see Nessie, but I believe in her considering the size of this thing! And Urquhart Castle was right on the coast of Loch Ness and that was really really cool to check out! We also got to visit Edinburgh Castle, which was great because it's so old, so it was just neat to check everything out there! Other things we did including, going skating on an outdoor rink, which was so much fun, even though I've lost whatever talent I had in skating, doing lots of shopping, going to the Royal Museum, which was tons of fun, it had tons of different exhibits, like animals, egypt, 1900s, and a Science World-esque place, which was loads of fun, so I lifted my weight, checked my reflexes, played with robots, and drove a race car! Lol, good stuff! Also, we went to a "German" Market, which was awesome, I had some mulled wine (YUM) and chocolate covered strawberries! And there was a winter carnival in the city which was really great too, went on a big slide, a giant ferris wheel and a yo yo swing ride thing! And we also climbed a mountain, ya, a mountain, lol, it was huge, but fun! And other than that it was just a lot of wandering the city and checking things out, it was great!!!! Anyways, I better get going so I can head off to the beach! Hope you enjoy the holidays, love you lots and miss you all, xoxoxoxoxo
