So I changed the colors of my blog today... that's all I did, all day long. What do you think of the changes?
That was a lie, there was more to the day... but honestly, are the colors too much to deal with? Whatever
Anyways, last night I took my mattress off the god-awful bedframe/boxspring mess and moved it onto the balcony which is just barely wide enough for it. What an awesome sleep... the Spanish breeze was flowing into my pyjamas all night long... haha, YES! Besides the noise from the street below I have no complaints... well I guess the mattress could have been better but whatever, i'm used to sleeping in a basement in Winnipeg.
We woke up and checked out of the Pension Portugal (dont ever stay there) and walked the single block to the bus station where we caught a bus to Valencia, Spain. Wait, before we got on the bus Ryan and I went to the local corner store and picked up some mini pizza things on baguettes... apparently corner stores here have awesome mini-bakeries.. damn those little guys were good. We got to Valencia and had to walk for 1.5kms to our hostel in the craziest of heat... no big deal for us though, we're backpack pros now. It was so nice to arrive at our hostel where things actually make sense... no more of this crazy weird crappy hotel bullshit. We have proper beds and breakfast is included, there is also FOUR solid wifi connections... After we settled in and put our gear in the lockers we left in search for some eats.
On our adventure we ran into some local skaters skating this insane spot with wicked wooden benches... i swear i've never skated a bench that grinded so well... and it was wood? So Sheen and I threw down there for a bit and then we continued on our search for food. Apparently everything closes down here on Sundays, it's sorta like the laws in Manitoba except they aren't even open at all... so all we had to chose from was convenience store bullshit, expensive cafés... or MacDo... we obviously went with the latter. After polishing off the meal with an orea McFlur we got outside and it was raining, it was beautiful. The walk home in the rain wasn't too bad because it was so damn hot and the rain cooled things off nicely.
We got back and watched a quick docmentary and then Sheen struck up a conversation with a cute french girl... after we chatted for a bit Sheen decided he was gonna go with her to meet up with her friends at a bar where they will apparently teach him some french... that may be the last we see of Sheen, god speed. Who knows, maybe he'll fall in love and i'll have to be his best man in a couple of weeks.
So far things are looking great for our three months in France... so far I can understand their crazy french and the french girls that are staying here are beautiful...
I guess that's today in blog form
peace
slowly we unfurl

i love the lay out! the bold lime green makes me feel an odd overwhelming insanity, much like the insanity thom yorke seems to convey when he delivers that killer line. your adventures seem to be going pretty fantastically. I'm loving all the food descriptions very much. Also, I can't believe the "flooring" the sidewalks are made of. So awesome. Keep on rockin dude, kiss a beautiful french girl for me. Or possibly .. a few?(menage a combien?);)
Dearest Alycia, oh how I miss you... The sidewalk tiling is so awesome, I knew you would really enjoy it. I'm glad you like the theme, you can understand where it came from. rad
menage a beaucoup
