It's the small things

Time seems to fly by here, and I realized this when I saw the period between when I published my latest posts. Like, two weeks. Whoops. I'm just having so much fun here, sometimes the interweb slips my mind.

This weekend (March 1st - March already!) is Carnaval in Cadiz (or, if you're a cool Spainard like we are, Cadi). I actually don't know what to expect, other than it's like a non-slutty American Halloween on steroids with floats, really good costumes, and looser open container laws. I have yet to pick out my costume. (Oh yes, pictures will follow.)

The weekend before, though, some of my friends and I took advantage of the developed bus system here and went to the beach for the day. A quick 40 minute bus ride south, and we're at the Mediterranean Sea; Beautiful in any season! The day after, we ventured out and saw our city a little more with the help of a local guide.

There are also a bunch of parks that are just asking to be taken advantage of; I never knew that they existed! Sometimes, getting off of the main streets and looking for the hidden stuff is more rewarding than anything else. 

Castles are everywhere. Literally. This one makes zero sense but it's in a park.

Expect to see a blog update after Carnaval!
