Oh Spain.... !!!
We slept in today for one of the first times and it ruled... we woke up to the most awesome sunlight beaming into our second floor hotel bedroom windows. I was the first one to get up so I did some laundry in the sink with the detergent that was given to us while in the Cork hostel. Laundry was definitely needed to be done... you would understand if you smelt the pair of green socks that I speak of or even if you saw the faces of Ryan, Sheen and Brandice after each of them took turns smelling the disgraceful pair. After hanging our garments on the railing and basically anywhere we could find we split into groups and peaced out. Sheen and I went to the Alcazaba Castle which is about a 20 minute walk from our room and Brandice and Ryan went to the beach.
Sheen and I got to the castle and got in for free because we’re apparently allowed to because we’re Canadian... figure that one out. The castle kicked some serious ass. When we first walked up and into the castle we came out into a beautiful little courtyard full of perfectly trimmed shrubbery and neat little marble edged ponds which had awesome little streams that flowed down the center of the stairs into them... Then there was this nifty little pond thing with perfectly symmetrical trees placed exactly opposite of each other on all corners... so neat. I should point out that the castle is the highest point in Almeria and it overlooks the whole city. We got to highest point and snapped a good collection of photos and realised that the Spanish heat had already began to annihilate us so we got the shit outta there and headed home.
Sheen wasn’t feeling that well today so he decided to stay back and rest, I headed towards the beach with my skateboard beneath me. The skate to the beach was amazing; I skated through the plaza in the middle of the street on the smoothest of white marble tiling you can ever imagine... it was even slightly downhill towards the beach. On the way I even got to skate past the skate park which also holds a mighty fine view of the sea. Even the sidewalks here are smooth; one push on a skateboard get’s you places you would never imagine. I met up with Ryan as I was on my way the beach, he had enough sun for the day... as for Brandice, I met up with her on the crazy red and white swirly brick walkway in front of the beach and we took a quick splonge (there it is again, Marc) in the sea to cool off.
Tonight we went and got some pizza at the local Pizza Hut, it must have been terrible for our server having to decipher our C-grade Spanish. We were still hungry after the pizza and decided that cooking some of our leftover spaghetti in the hotel sink was a good idea... sure the water was hot enough and yeah the noodles got soft enough but the flavor and lack of any sort of sauce was plain disgusting. Never again will we cook anything in a sink.
We don't know where we're going to end up tomorrow so I don't know when the next time will be when I update this thing...
The sun is getting to my brain, I should probably rest it...
buenos noches para todos

Can't wait to see what Spain look like.
Apparently I can't spell.
Anyway. The photos are beautiful. Nice sink-pasta...and topless skateboarding.
Love the last picture. Just watch out when balancing pocket knives on alcohol bottles that your finger doesn't get caught anywhere near the danger zone.
