Okay rain, you can stop now...

Mmk… so my past few days. Let’s sum them up in a word: RAIN. Two words? More rain. But I will noooot let that get me down. Yet.

Friday night everyone ended up staying in because it was so crazy and rainy and cold. Yesterday, I hung out around home to let my suck foot chill a bit, and to wait for my uncle and aunt to get into town. They arrived in the afternoon, and I walked over to their hotel right down the road from where I live. It is so coincidental that they are staying so close because I live on the outskirts of town…but no complaints here!  I wanted to show them the town a bit, but that was no good considering it was POURING hardcore all night. We got some dinner, drank some vino, and relaxed for the night.

This morning, I met them at their hotel again and we headed out for Santillana del Mar and Comillas. Santillana del Mar is this quaint little town with cobblestone roads, where cars are not allowed to drive. They have lots of touristy shops and pretty little buildings. Lunch was GREAT! My aunt and uncle took me to a small restaurant filled with locals, and I got salad, ribs, chocolate ice cream cake, and vino for only 13 euros. I guess that’s the way to go! We went to Comillas after we ate, pretty much on a whim, but I’m so glad we did! We stopped to take pictures of two really cool looking churches on the way, and ended up at the beach of Comillas. The weather was no good, but we were happy for the lluvia to be holding off. Our goal was to find a little-known house of Gaudi’s in Comillas, and after a little driving and directions from a walker, we found it! It was SO great! I think I’m in love with Gaudi, and I haven’t even been to Barcelona yet J We also saw the old palace of a marquis and the ruins of an old cemetery. Such amazing architecture and coolness in such a small town! I loved being able to take that adventure with my aunt and uncle. I didn’t plan to see much this weekend, but it ended up being SO good! Don’t you love God’s little surprises? Mmm mmm. I’m loving me some Spain J

More pics soon!

Abrazos y besos,
