could have done without seville

it is super early in the morning and we are getting ready to take a ridicuously long train ride from seville back to barcelona so that marci can fly home tomorrow. its very sad that the week went by so quickly, but it was a good one. our train ride is 13 hours long which is totally uncalled for. but it was the only train available so i guess we´ll take what we can get..... and maybe they´ll show a movie or 2 like they have on other trains in spain. that really helps the time fly!!!

update on my swollen piercing.... i tried to take it out last night b-c the sensitivity and ugly swollenness (it isn´t tooooo bad) was getting on my last nerve so i wanted to take it out. BUT i couldn´t get it out. and marci tried too and couldn´t either. and after talking to her doctor fiance (and she´s a nurse) she had me scared that i was going to get an infection in my blood and die!! but i highly doubt that will happen. so instead of freaking out we´re gonna try to hit up a pharmacy soon (but prob not today since we´ll be on the train till 9pm) and see about getting an antibiotic. if that doesn´t work then we´re gonna find another piercing place and have them take it out. so either way hopefully it´ll be better. i really want the piercing to last though so i´m rooting for the antibiotic :)

so we spent basically 1.5 days and 2 nights in seville and i didn´t relaly care for it. it was 42 degrees celcious both days which was just miserable!!!! sarah told us it was on the coast so there would be beaches........ not so much!!! ;) so the first night we got here we paid too much (thanks to marci) to go to a flamenco show which wasn´t all that and a bag of chips in my opinion. i mean, it was fun, but not worth the money. then yesterday we slept in till 11am.....oops ;) and hungout at the train station for a few hours to book our trip today.... then spent 15 euro on a stupid bus tour of the city which marci and i slept thru.... sarah has the pics to prove it with out mouths gaping open :) and i´m pretty sure that marci and i got heat exhaustion b-c we were sooooo lathargic it was stupid. so we rested and i tried to get over my migraine. so after a late dinner we did some laundry and just hungout in our room acting like total botards and playing fun games. so the night ended well even though i felt like i was in the middle of hell all day!!!!!

and can i just say that the food so far in ALL of europe has been sooooo good!!! so for all those people out there (including myself) who said i would lose a bunch of weight on this trip......... not so much! take yesterday for example, i ate 2 of these INCREDIBLE ice cream bars called Magnum´s and they are double chocolate and they were a little taste of heaven while we were in hell :) and that was just a 600 cal snack in the middle of the day :) and even though we´re walking a bunch i miss working out and actually feeling like i´ve expended energy. oh well.... i can always workout when i get home righe ;)

i´m trying to think of what else i might be forgetting. i know i always do.... but i´m gonna try to eat something real quick and then catch a cab to the train station. sarah and i are gonna stay one extra day in barcelona after marci leaves so that we can figure out how we´re gonna get to rome.... we want to take the ferry so we´ll have to figure that out....... until then... :)
