Going into the church, for Palm Sunday, was an absolute madhouse. There were soooo many people, and 15 priests handing out communion. In Spain, they fight for their communion, like, no orderly lines, but pushing and shoving to the front. Now, imagine this with about 1,000 people coming in and out of the church, getting up on the alter and taking photos (while the Bishop is reading the Gospel)...It was terrible.

Then we went to a bull fight, but we didn't know it was a real bull fight until the morning of. We stayed for 2 bulls, one of which appeared to have "lost" but once someone went in for the kill shot, he got right back up and fought for a while longer. However, we left after that, because once we saw one, we've basically seen them all.

Jacqueline walked into my living room at about 11:30 tonight and wanted to know if I'd be up for planning our July trip. Of course, I agreed, and now here we are at 1am planning Copenhagen, Brussels, and Luxemborg...I love traveling. I also love my friends because they all love traveling too! How convenient, this program is amazing!
