in LA and exhausted

don't really have time or energy to say anything much here, but just thought id let u all know I'v arrived in LA, finally got to hostel, which isnt quite what i expected but still good, and i am super sleep deprived, and to be honest, just cant wait to get home now.

As i suspected, neither sim card is working here so i have no phone until i get home, which is soooon.

ok, now bring on hot topic, if i can make myself move!

see you all soon

Goodbye Spain...hello France

Don't really have much time to say much right now because I've gotta look up some stuff about Lyon.

I've packed up all my bags and am ready to get up and go first thing in the morning. Had to pack away my Lonely Planet Spain guide, which has been like a bible this last month, and now I know nothing about my next stop!!!!!
Should be fun =) lol

Still hasn't quite set in fully that I'm leaving Spain in less than 24 hours, but without a doubt i will be back!!!! hehehe

more adventures to come in France however, I'm sure

out for now
xoxoxox

lesson of the day:

walking up Montjuic hill = bad idea!

that is all

i totally forgot to add a title to that last blog...

oh well
So yesterday I went to see all the Gaudi attractions - well some of them, the best and most famous but there are lots more around. The buildings he designed/build are fascinating and pretty remarkable - such as the Casa Battlo which I swear doesn't contain a single straight line or plane!!!!!
Once again took lots of photos and filled up camera memory for like the millionth time!
I started the day at the Sagrada Familia (huge cathedral designed and started by Gaudi, still not finished after over 100 years). Well when they finally finish constuction that is gonna be one epic cathedral, and definately unique. I can see why so many people come to see it! Would like to post some pictures from there, but depends if i can find a computer with a cd drive, on top of all the other little jobs and sightseeing i wanna do today.

As I was leaving La Sagrada Familia I ran into Ah Run - one of the Korean guys who was in my grammar/conversation class in Salamanca. It was crazy! so we stopped and talked awhile and then found chocolate con churros together, which I'm gonna miss so much after today =(

last full day in Spain!!! I'm gonna stop thinking about that now because I don't like that very much. haha

Last night I was talking with my German mate from the hostel in Sevilla and the Aussie guy who works here and while we were sitting talking her bag got stolen from right beside her. Has her wallet/credit card and passport and everything, and she was supposed to fly home this morning around about now - I haven't seen her since then though so hope she's got things sorted. But it was pretty terrible. Especialy since an hpour or so before that we had been walking back from the supermarket and she was saying how good it was she'd made it through Barcelona without getting robbed!

Well I'm off now, gonna head for a start up the hill to Montjuic to see one or two things up there, and then work out the rest of the day's plan.
