Hey everyone! Spain is AMAZING!! I wish I had more time to post all the wonderful things I've done. SO I guess I will hit the highlights. I had some great Spanish food including...octopus....yeah that right for those who know me, I did eat octopus and squid and fried sardines. All of which was pretty good. I love the architecture, the nightlife, and the culture. I got to speak some spanish which was pretty cool. I hung out with lots of great people I met on the ship. Oh yeah about the ship, no seasickness for me, but for most people..... lol. I truly feel that my fear of vomit is gone, most people kept barfing around me soo... yeah. Like right next to me,no lie. Anyways I am sad to leave spain, and if you have a chance pics will posted on facebook so check them out.
For all of the confusion about my camera, I meant I left it on the ship so i couldn't post where I had internet because I had no camera with me to hook up to my computer.
Oh my gosh, I have to rush so.... ask me questions and I will answer. I hope everyone is having a good time!

Its not a bathroom, its a washroom!
So far I have seen the harbor, unfortunately here 70 degrees is warm.
It was more like 60's today and cloudy. I was amazed that people were actually wearing shorts and skirts. Tomorrow I board the ship and I am pretty excited about it!
I will say that so far Canada is not all that bad. Today I went to a restaurant called Waterfront Warehouse/ Tug's pub. It was some ritzy seafood place and I ordered some lobster fettucini. Well...I guess lobster is pretty chewy. It was okay however I had the BEST CHOCOLATE MINT CHEESECAKE OF ALL TIME! This definately made up for dinner. Their cheesecake was amazing, seriously my body tingled! I definitely think you should check it out if your ever in town! And yes, there are no "bathrooms" only "washrooms".
Oh yeah I had to get a picture of the km/h since the U.S. is the only place not using the metric system :)
My New York Minute
Not to mention ride the subway!...AND.... get my first taxi! lol I know, its the small things that count. So for those of you that have not rode the subway...it wasn't all that bad. I highly suggest it, if you are not in a big hurry and don't want to waste $55.
