I don't care, I love it

We visited Alcalá de Henares today, which is a very small, and I mean SMALL town. It was a little bit of a let down compared to Toledo yesterday. We had no idea what we were going to do for 8 whole hours in this teeny town. But we didn't care, we LOVE everything about Spain! We sang the song that says"I don't care, I love it" by Icona Pop all during the day and on the whole bus ride back.

Of course it consisted of long talks given to us by our lovely tour guide that we always mention, a visit to all of the historical sites located in the town, but also lots of free time. It did not take long to see everything, so we got to just chill. We have been waking up at 7 every morning, so that was exactly what we needed!

The highlight of the day was when Caroline set off a little alarm in the cathedral. Thankfully nobody noticed, she didn't get kicked out, and she got to keep listening to the tour guide babble!!! There are also huge storks all around this town, and they warned us that when they go to the bathroom, it is like getting a shower. We had the best time placing bets on who was going to get a "shower" today.

On another note, we have started a list of observations. Here are a few:

  • The kids here are the CUTEST, and have the most precious little voices
  • If you are going to exercise: You are going to RUN (really fast),  not jog
  • Also if you are going to exercise: You are wearing spandex leggings (yep, guys included), not shorts (whoops)
  • You know you can cross the street when: you hear a beeping sound that is like what you would hear when you shoot at the monsters in the Buzz Lightyear ride at Disney.  "pewpewpewpew"
Stay tuned for more observations!
WE LOVE Y'ALL!
