Well, since coldplay, not too much happened until the following friday, when cam flew in from london (albeit late because he MISSED HIS FLIGHT)!!! it was wondddderfull to see him, also because he bought 2 big containers of ferrero rocher chocolates duty free hehehehehhehe.

we went out that night to pipers in algorta and met a whole bunch of people, but then went home because we were both tired, and me getting over the flu (which i got really bad on thursday). unfortunately we missed the last metro, so walked for 40 mins :(

saturday we were picked up by markel and beth (and markels dog larson) and we went for a road trip to La Rioja, the wine growing zone of Spain. Its about 1.5 hours away by car, and it was a wonderful day (as you can see) to be travelling!! we walked around the town/village of Santo Domingo de la Calzada which was really pretty, and drank wine, ate DELICIOUS food (markel is an a class cook), and watched movies. it was a very relaxed and chilled weekend. we stayed in markels grandmothers house which was huge! cam and i even got a queen bed. (which is a big deal because i´ve only got a single bed here at home which isn´t the most comfortable squeezing a big muscley man in next to me, hence we now have a blow up mattress next to my bed)

sunday we slept in, then had another walk around the township, then ate yummy lunch, had a siesta (daytime snooze), and drove back (in the rain). got home where gsep made us a delicious pasta dinner with lindsay and christina, and then we all watched shawn of the dead until the wee hours of the morning.

since then we´ve been lazy, seeing as there is no university this week because of holidays here in spain. yay!!!

well. time to go. i hope everyone is doing well??? leave me messages on here!!!!!!

by the way, it feels weird about to have a christmas without the Warehouse sales, and customer lines, and late night shopping, and busting my butt off working rediculous hours, and, well, after 5 years of that xmas has kind of come to mean that to me!!!! but the atmosphere here is amazing, EVERY shop has an elaborate xmas display, its getting colder, and its definately gonna be different!!!!!
