This is the Palacio Real, the Royal Palace. It's awesome. SOO pretty. The rooms are so well decorated and everything is just so lush and luxurious. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside though so google it if you're interested. There was even a room with at lesat 4 Stratavarius instruments, which was super awesome, Jess you would have thought it was really cool. dad too. well i guess all of you. There were like 2 violins and maybe 2 basses or a cello or something? they were decorated and beautiful. Anywho, this was a while back when fiona visited me from london!

Fiona and me in my casa

Then that Sunday I went to a bull fight. it was horrible. They kill the bulls at the end. And 2 of the tororos were horrible, the guys swinging the red cape things. Ok what happens is the bull comes out into the arena, and these guys are HUGE just MASSIVE. Then the torororos kinda tease it for a little bit, but when he charges they run behind the walls so that they don't get hit. Then they bring out these guys on horses with huge rods and stab the bull. The horses are protected (apparently) as you see here, and they have on blinders and such so they don't spook when the bull CHARGES at them. One horse got completely knocked down though and bled, it was sad. Ok so they guys on the horses then stab the bull a bunch of times. Then they go away, and a tororo comes out and stabs it more and leaves the little half rods sticking out of the back of the bull. Then at the end he does the cape thing and then at the very end he has a sword and is supposed to stab the bull in the heart and it's supposed to go down quickly, etc. well our tororos were HORRIBLE and kept missing with the sword, so one bull they just had to stab it over and over with a dagger thing in the head until it died. it was so sad i hated it, i didn't watch and then I left for the next one and just hated the whole thing. It was horrible.

LOOK HOW HUGE THEY ARE!!! and we were soooooooo close to the arena. not something I want to see again.
