Culture, Event and the History of Spain
My trip to Spain 2010 is going to be a trip that I will never forget.
On the 11th of March I will finally be leaving the country for the first time in my life. There are so many things that I am looking foward to experiencing for the first time. For one, the culture of Spain is the first thing that I am interesting in learning. All the history that the cities of Spain hold I will be experiencing first hand. There are many of famous buildings with the most amazing architechure. All of the gothic churchs still to this day amaze me, even after hundreds of years these unbelieveable churchs still stand and are more decorated than any building to this day.
The food is another major thing that I look foward to. In the United States fast food pretty much runs the country sad to say. In Spain that is not the case, there is barely anything that is fast food. All the food is healthy cooked food that I have not yet had.
After doing research on my trip to Spain I never realized the beauty that one country can hold. There are a few specific spots that I would love to witness for myself. A few of those are in Barcelona which are Pare Guell. Pare Guell is a beautiful garden designed by Antoni Gaudi. Casa Mila and Montjuic are two other stops that would be an honor to vist. In Granada we are going to be learning to do the Flamenco Dance. I was not looking foward to this only because I am a horrible dancer but watching a few videos and seeing how complex and how special of a dance this is makes me alot more eager to watch and participate in this dance. Also we will be witnessing a bull fight and watching the trainers train with the bulls. I am pretty excited to see this first hand rather than in videos and on the television. My trip to Spain is going to be so amazing and then to come back with all of my experiences and stories and videos of this fantasic country.
Day 7 and the final day we would be in Spain! Well the end of our trip was near but that did not mean that we didn't have a full day of stuff to do. We took a drive down to Toledo to do some more siteseeing. We had some breakfast then we traveled the streets and took a tour of some of the other churchs that were there. Sad to say the church we went to in Toledo we were unable to take any pictures but it was a beautiful church. We had half a day to walk around and enjoy our last day in spain. Once we finished our tours it was time to go on the bus and bring us on top of this mount
ain to this place where for once we were
going to be doing our own cooking for once. I did not know what to expect walking into this place considering I was never really the best of cooks. I am a nasty pasta maker bu
t then again who isn't. When we got there this place was located on the side of a mountain so when we looked out the window we saw the entire town. It was ncredible. The food we got to make was alot of fun. I really enjoyed dressing up like a chef for the first time in my life. That was the best dinner we have had on the trip because of how interactive it was. We got to eat the food that each other made which made it taste better as well. After we made our food it was time to head back to the hotel. 
Everyone was free to do what they wanted. Derek,Danny, Flo, Jon and I went out to go see the greatest football stadium in the history of mankind, Real Madrid. I was so happy th
at Danny wanted to go to the stadium because I have never seen a stadium so amazing. There was so much history within this stadium, not to mention how large it was. It was five stories tall which is almost unheard of for a stadium. At the end of the day alot of people went back to the rooms to get ready to come home. Not me, a bunch of us decided we wanted to party some more so we went out for our last night on the town. Boy that would turn out to be the most memorable time on the trip. I enjoyed ever last second we had spent in Spain, it was something that I would never forget for the rest of my life.
