A little dose of Rose is Espana

As most of you know, my mother came to visit me this week. She has been here since last Sunday and it's been quite the adventure. After a long weekend of throwing up and climbing el cotos, I woke up on sunday morning around 6:30 to pick her up at the airport. I was so excited to for her to get here. As soon as she got here we got in a Cab and she immediately started speaking English to the cab driver, if you have been reading my blog you know NO ONE HERE SPEAKS FRIGGIN ENGLISH. the guy just looked at her like she was nuts and kept driving, she has proceeded to speak english to everyone here insisting that "they need to learn someday anyways" so of course she is going to be the one to teach them... dear lord.

This week has been amazing we have been wined and dined in 5 star fancy hotels like The Westin Palace, The Princesa Sofia in Barcelona, and now we are in the Ritz. You wanna talk about Fake Life? This is it. I don't know what I am going to do when she leaves, How do you go from taking baths, sleeping in huge begs, being waited on hand and foot, eating real people food, back to BARADAS aka my Cinderella closet. I might die. Good thing I am going to Italy for 10 days tomorrow.....

ANYWAYS.
I'll do a little play by play of what we did when my mom was here.
Sunday: Get here- Drop bags off at Baradas, go right to El Rastro (biggest flea market in Europe), get lunch, pack up head to the Westin,  DIE at how gorgeous the Westin is workout at their awesome place, have 3 course gourmet meal at the Westin, #fakelife.
Monday: Wake up, go workout, eat a REAL breakfast not 2 small bowls of dry corn flakes and a gross cup of coffee like I usually do, go to school take 2 midterms,  skip my last two classes, go back to the hotel and hang out then get thai food for dinner (hahah we're in Spain right?).
Tuesday: Fly to Barcelona, go to sagrada familia and las ramblas, get a free massage, sick in a jacuzzi, hang out in the steam room and sauna, hang out in the "club lounge", go to bed.
Wednesday: fly back to Madrid, check in to the Ritz, workout, go out drinking in a Cave bar with my mother and my Spain family.
Thursday: Fancy breakfast, again. Shop. Sight See. go back to eat THAI food again, pop a bottle of complimentary Champagne with Andria & Rose.
Friday: Wake up have a nice breakfast, shop again and lounge around.

....how am I suppose to enjoy myself in Spain after my mother leaves? I've been spoiled rotten with good food, an unbelievably beautiful hotel, clothes & shoes, a new camera, HOT WATER to shower in... ughhhh.. anyways I'm so glad my mother came I was starting to go a little nuts and I think this will keep me grounded until May. She leaves tomorrow and I leave for my 10 day tour de Italia which is pretty awesome. I have a 16 day spring break and I never want to go back to school.. I pretty much am traveling for the rest of the time in Spain, Paris, Ibiza, Santander, probably Amsterdam and the Canary Islands at some point too..
ta ta for now!
