Feb 4

I guess that this is home…

Even still it is weird to be back. I stayed in bed late, I think part of me just refused to eat bread for breakfast after the 4 star treatment for the past week. In the afternoon after comida I met Molly to walk down to the internet café but half way there Sarah called and said that it was closed. We met up with her Dave Liesel Aubrey and Louise and searched for internet that we could get for free but with no luck. So Dave Liesel and Sarah went back to his house to use his internet and Molly and I walked around the city for a while. The other two just sort of disappeared, I think that they were going to go pay for it. Molly and I ended up sitting on a park bench for an hour or so on Gran Via just talking, until I relized that we were sitting right in front of a hotel. I got out my computer turned it on and sure enough, free internet, a place to sit, and only a few blocks from the university.

I got to check my mail and talk to Kait online but other than that wasn’t able to do too much before it cut out unexpectedly. Some day when I have a ton of time to be online with nothing to do, I really need to clean out my inbox so it doesn’t fill up over these periods when I can’t check it. I honestly think that regular mail might get to me quicker than email sometimes.

Because Americans are everywhere, we got to go out and watch the Super Bowl at the Hard Rock. The biggest problem being the 13 euro cover, but that did include a drink and a Budweiser cloth napkin which seemed kind of random. It was an awesome game until the Colts started to win then I just got annoyed. The Hard Rock kicked us out as soon as the game ended so I don’t know who got MVP, my guess is Adai, but please let me know. OH, and ANOTHER PROBLEM since we were watching internationally on satellite the feed would could out for a few seconds every once in a while but worse yet, no commercials. That’s a huge part of the experience. Oh well..

The game didn’t end until 4 and by the time that I made sure that people taking the NitBus got on all right and I started to walk home it was almost 5. So, Becky and I decided to stay out all night since we had class in just a few hours. It was kind of cool and we got to see the sun rise over the Mediterranean. But the best part was that because I was walking with someone else, the Hookers didn’t hit on me in Las Ramblas! Maybe it was her hooker boots, they thought that I was already taken…

Manning won MVP and the commercials weren't any good so you didn't miss much.
