Santander

This weekend we went on our all paid for school trip to Santander (it's in the northern part of Spain). It was about 30 kids and we had an absolute blast. We stayed in a beautiful hotel right on the beach. We were all so excited to stay at a hotel after staying in hostels for the past 3 months, everyone went nuts over the showers. I probably stayed in the shower for a half hour one day. We got pizza hut and hung out on the beach when we first got there then later that night we went out for the weirdest dinner i've ever had in my life which consisted of very weird tapas and my "vegetarian" option which OF COURSE had ham in it... Why wouldn't it? Anyways..... The next day Lizzy, Steph, Shannon & I went on a tour of a couple of towns. We saw a museum of sex objects carved into walls and into stones??? A torture museum, A church, a house that Gaudi crafted and a few beaches. Later on we got drinks and went to the casino.
The next day I slept through breakfast, we checked out of the hotel at 12 then headed to a different village where we had lunch and about 8 bottles of wine before we hiked up a mountain to go tour some cave. It was  pretty cool. We then made our way back to Madrid which took FOREVER. because for some odd reason they insist of taking 45 minute breaks every 2 and a half hours because the bus driver needs  a "break".. COOL SPAIN. So we didn't get home til like 12:30 I have been exhausted all day after my 12 hours of class. It's been a long day and I have lots of work to do this week. But I will be in Madrid this weekend for the first time in Month which is kind of weird, but I'm excited to hang out.
