Greece and Spain

So I haven't updated in a bit but we've just been traveling all over I hadn´t got much of a chance. After rome we went to Athens for a night and then to Mykonos, one of the greek islands, for a weekend. It was really nice we would go out at night and spend the days at the pool or on the beach.

After Mykonos we went to Barcelona.... which I absolutely loved!!! It was a pretty city had a fair amount of things to see along with a beach and great night life. I had a great time there and so far has been my favorite city I've visited. After a few days in Barcelona we went up to Pamplona for the running of the bulls. That was just insane, we got in Pamplona around 10 or 11 at night (just in time to see fireworks) then found somewhere to store our luggage for the night since we didn't have anywhere to stay and everything was full. We then spent the night in the crazy streets of papmlona with thousands of other people drinking dancing and jsut being insane. Like it was a popular thing to throw your glass bottles all over the streets to break. That was pretty annoying and you couldn't really walk anywhere without getting beer or wine sprayed on you. I had fun though don't get me wrong.... it was just complete insanity. The bulls ran at 8am that morning and we actually got an amazing spot to watch. I didn't end up running, I decided that if i did i wouldn't want to be anywhere near the bulls so then i would just be running in a giant group of people and not see anything. We takled about watching the first night then running with them the next morning. (running of the bulls is a week long thing, every day at 8am). However, we ended up leaving that next morning as we all were dead tired and just had had enough of a solid night of partying and staying up.

Now we are in Madrid, we got in last night and are here for a week until we fly back home. So far Madrid has been pretty relaxing, it seems like it will be a good city to spend the last week in.
