i've been coughing so much for the past few days that my back, abs and sides hurt. i'm so miserable in this country because every body smokes everywhere.
right now i'm hanging out with carlos, john matt and riley. john matt is high on hash and it's irritating because he's always high on hash and i wish he would stop.
we went to santander this weekend. it's in the north of spain, on the beach. the north has a lot of industrial areas and rain, but it didn't rain while we were there. we visited these cuevas with some of the world's oldest cave paintings. then we walked on the beach. alex, erin and i broked down and got pizza hut pizza at 8 p.m. we just sat on this bench eating the pizza ravenously with grease all over our fingers and lips. when we were done we just sat there for a moment and breathed a sigh of relieve.
we're not homesick but we miss certain things. i miss damien so, so much. i miss my ipod. i miss ravi. i miss fabric softener.
we walked around and watched the sunset. we found a mexican restaurant and were grateful. i just miss avocados.
then we went out. i didn't want to because i just can't take the smoke--even the smallest amount sets me off right now. but we walked around this plaza where a lot of people where hanging out and saw a bachelor party--the bachelor was wearing a neon green leotard, a bright yellow tutu and 4 inch high silver platform heels that came up to his knees.
then today we took a little train around this penninsula and ate paella. i hate rice but i loved the seafood. john matt was, of course, high, and he started playing with the crawdad and we came up with a concept for a children's show called "crawdaddy and co." it's a children's show with good, strong southern values that teaches kids important things like how to chew tobacco and what racism is. the theme song sort of goes like this:
come on down
to crawdaddy town
that's all i remember.
