I Forgot All My Spanish in Madrid =(

We went to Madrid for our Spring educational field trip  AKA land of Herr D. Everyone else gets to go to like Turkey and Greece and Egypt and we get... Vienna... and Madrid... I loved them both don't get me wrong but I would've gone there on my own! We go there because our teachers want to show off where they come from... at least that's what we think! 

Ok so i dropped this penny (well Euro cent) at the airport and it rolled and landed straight up!!! It was so creepy!! And people were walking over it and it stayed like that forever and then rolled like a mile and finally fell down! So creepy! I was scared of it so I left it there haha! 

We got right on a tour bus! I don't know what these buildings are but they were pretty, I think this is the bull fighting pin though, sad =(

Zimmer elf, minus a very important member! =( 

Loathing... that's our relationships theme song!

I just love this!

I LOVA ALEX HARDING SO VERY MUCH!!!!!!
Alex H. Says: "HAHAHAHA THIS IS THE GREATEST THING i HAVE EVER SEEN!"
Sarah Says: "hmmm.... this is only slightly disturbing. Yay for Shannon's photoshop skills!
P.S. I was wearing that shirt back at Pepperdine the next year and someone standing behind me at the Waves Cafe freaked out and was like "oh my gosh were you in Zimmer Elf last year in Heidelberg?" and I said yeah, and she goes "I was there the year before and that's what we called our room!" and I was like "oh my gosh we called it that because of the letter you left!" it was so fun! 

Back on the bus!

The reason I love Spain so much is because they love nature so much!

This is the post office!! Could you imagine getting your mail from there?? Pretty legit!

In Toledo!! I wish we stayed in Toledo! It was totally way more what I expected Madrid to be like and so old and country and pretty! Madrid was just like any big ciy! Cool but looked like somewhere in the U.S. 

He loves taking close ups of himself...

I heart Toledo! 

Toledo was everything I thought a little Spanish town would be! 

Beauty!

A-mazing view!!! 

The boys!

What...a...hottie!! haha!

And what...a...view!!!!! 

You're pretty! This picture is seriously so cool it looks fake!! 

Oh my goodness!! Who is this?? I don't even recognize you!! Well, I did, obviously... cuz I tagged you... but still! haha! 

You're a cutie!

The blue team, with an amazingly blue sky I might add! I think Jill missed the too cool for school memo haha!

Cameron's the best =)

Going to the flamenco! So excited! I bought that dress and belt at a Spanish store here! I was super excited about it! 

I think this picture looks cool but Sister Says: "You look kinda creepy in this picture"
Me: "Thanks sister! And how do you mean creepy?"

Model time! Look at that slicked back hair! 

Look at you in your tied sweater!

Our little date table! Oh my gosh while we were there the flamenco guy came over and was trying to get me to get up and dance with him and I finally did! I swear I'm always a target! Everyone was laughing at me and pressuring me and he wouldn't go away until I got up and made a fool of myself! 

DANG Laura!! Haha! You know what I'm talking about!! 

Cuties!
Christina Says: "Yeah Laura!"
Me: "AHHHH AHAHAHAHAHA!! Nice thinking Christina (she tagged Laura's 'cuties')! haha that was Genius! 

So vibrant Laura!

Photo shoot in the hotel room! Cuz that's what we do when we're bored!
Sarah Says: "Omg I look like Rudolph." 

Roomies! In Madrid and Heidelberg!
Sarah Says: "This could be our Christmas card picture."
Me: "haha you're so right! It does look Christmas cardish!" 

You're so cute! 

The Prado!

Las meninas! My favorite painting

I don't even know...

Trying to capture a picture of Laura's green eyes! 

I just thought this was a really cool!
Sarah Says: "Awwww. Thanks! I don't know if I would go so far to say that I'm 'really cool' but it makes me feel so special knowing that you do think that!"
Me: "I don't... I mean my picture taking abilities were really cool... but um... yeah... I guess you're cool too?

Churros!! Ugh makes me wanna barf still every time I hear that word now! We ate WAYYYYYY too many!
Sister Says: "Is that a Churro???"

Gangsta!! We went shopping for a bit with Aaron!  

Hmmmmm.... I don't remember taking this... weird...wow someone must be obsessed with themselves!!
Sarah Says: "or obviously you are just a little overwhelmed by my stunningness that you have to savor every moment of it. Thanks Shanny poo!

Trying to do Charlies Angels, Matt you can be Charlie 

Haha we really thought this would be a good picture... but it looks super awkward!
Sister Says: "Awwww I like this one... was the grass wet?"
Me: "soaking!"

AHAHAHAHAHA funniest thing EVER!!! We all totally thought he was peeing after his run but when he got done resting it was just perfect angling and that was actually a fountain! 

Who else would find Mickey Mouse other than me????? Made my week! (even if it was probably some creepy man) 

Don't let him fool you he only rowed for like a minute!

I decided that I want THAT in my backyard! 

It took quite a bit of time for them to convince me we couldn't climb up on those rocks haha! 

Awwwww, I lova you new roomie!!
Sarah Says: "and I you!"

In front of the monastery!  

They matched their entrance sticker!! 

I did her hair! Doesn't it look so cute! I feel like it looks princessy!
Sarah Says: "yes!" 

At the concert! 

He makes this face and writhes around on my floor like a zombie and really actually terrifies me!!! and the last time he did it he crawled up onto my bed and I almost killed myself trying to get away from him I was so terrified! It's SOOOO ABNORMAL!!! 

EMBARRASSING!!! I matched my luggage!! Haha! I was so embarrassed I made other people carry my luggage around!!!!
Sister says: "hmmmm did you plan on matching your luggage... well at least if you lose it you can point to your dress and ask if anybody has seen luggage that looks like this!"
