Feria, Sicnkess, School & Work

Well since it's been quite a while now since I wrote a real post about everything new, this one certainly has a lot to cover! I would have written sooner, however I've been sick in and flat out in bed for the last 3 days. Today I woke up and I don't know if I just decided that enough was enough, or if I actually feel better, however I feel more human finally!

I had 2 weeks of company, it was crazy busy and relaxing all at the same time. We saw a lot of sights, had a lot of great food and of course had a few evenings out enjoying the very cheap drinks. Especially after coming from a country as expensive as Sweden, Suzanne was amazed by the prices, so we took full advantage :)

I start school on Monday, I am not in the least bit prepared, however I'm going to try to play a bit of catchup this weekend and just get ready for the craziness to begin. I'm nervous and excited really. I've also been offered some more work, originally 20 hrs/week but have only committed to 10 so I'll be doing that a couple days a week as well.

Last weekened we went to a Feria! A carnival/amusement park/mish mash of everything set up in the Forum, more of the southern spanish culture and commodities like the flamenco dancing and food! I wish we had things like this in Canada, so much fun and exciting and CHEAP! Unlike Stampede, which is outrageously expensive and to me - not all that fun OR cultural - each ride here is only 3 euros and you only have to wait for 10 mins or so in line! Fantastic! Maricela and I did "The bomber" the one on really long arms that swings in giant circles! Here are a few photos. (PS- Note the GIANT, most GIANT EVER pan of Paella that they are cooking! It was unbelievable!)

Anyhow, that's the update for today. Don't forget it's Mothers Day this weekend!
