Mommy, where does beer come from? the MAHOU FACTORY, POR SUP! http://ucf.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2202182&l=1b431&id=5100208
I don’t know about you, but this is the first university related field trip I think I will ever go on that involved an open bar at the end with endless samples of tapas and beer. Wow.

Long ass bus rides, sneaky hotel visits, incredible scenery, crepes, the GOOG, surfing on itty bitty waves, giant snorebags, gay bars for lunch, and a 4 hour tour de tapas bars… what more can you ask for?!
Location: Bilbao (País Vasco), Biarritz (France) & 4 Hours of San Sebastián

El Escorial & La Noche en Blanca: http://ucf.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2198240&l=b8573&id=5100208
El Escorial is close to Madrid, and there is a giant royal palace there. Nearly all the Spanish monarchs are buried there as well. La Noche en Blanca was an event that is held all over Europe to celebrate the arts and culture, and all the museums and many other attractions were opened all night (and FREE!), so we stayed in Madrid until… 7AM.
HOLY TOLEDO! http://ucf.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2197921&l=39310&id=5100208
Excursion for class to visit Toledo, the capital of the Visigothic empire in Spain. Insane cathedrals, amazing architecture, delicious food… great times.

Extreme Usage of Spanish Abono Passes: http://ucf.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2197918&l=1ba20&id=5100208
An Abono Pass is a pass you can purchase from the tobacco stores around here (I don’t know why) that can be used to ride the buses around Alcala and Madrid, trains to and from Madrid and the entire metro system an unlimited amount for a month. For me, 63 euros a month, but ENDLESS opportunities and loads of fun!
Barbacoas & Various Craziness: http://ucf.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2195834&l=ed88f&id=5100208
Sometimes we do silly things with friends. Since I live out here in the residencias, I’m able to have social functions, and we seem to keep having barbecues on my balcony. Tons of food, tons of fun. In addition, random photos from the time here.
Paella & Playa: the best of Valencia: http://ucf.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2193271&l=b39b1&id=5100208
Valencia – a city on the mediterranean coast of Spain, famous for “Las Fallas”, a festival in the Spring where they burn enormous paper mache-like representations of people or things, and Paella, a delicious rice dish where they throw in any kind of meat they can find and let it simmer for a few hours. In this case, it was fish, and it was incredible. Great times in Valencia with the girls from Butler… and am I ever tan now.

Spanish Road Trip to Cádiz, part 1: http://ucf.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2191558&l=c084b&id=5100208
In the southern part of Spain, Andalucia, our friend Pedro’s family has a number of houses… you know, for fun. My friends and I drove down in Pedro’s mom’s van (awesome!), and after an 8 hour drive, got to experience the best of Andalucia… you know, nude beaches, eating sandwiches at a gas station, hippies, the Rock of Gibraltar (okay, that’s part of the United Kingdom), and stopping by the Alhambra in Granada. Unforgettable.

First Time in Madrid: http://ucf.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2188187&l=7e567&id=5100208
Took a field trip with the class to scope out the city, and just kind of hung around the rest of the day.

Yes, we went to a bullfight. Yes, it was bloody. And spent the day in Madrid as well, taking in the sights.
