Instead of having spring break Spain has Semana Santa. It is the week of the Saints where everyone goes on vacation and in every church they take their patron saint and carry them around the city on their backs. It usually takes about 10 men on each side of the statue of the saint and they carry these around for probably 7 hours a night. Each one has to weigh 1500 lbs or more. Of course I have no pictures of this because everytime the processions started I would NEVER have my camera with me. Owell. Anyways, we traveled to Nerja, a coastal town in Southern Spain. It is mostly Germans, Dutch and British retired people who live there but it has beautiful beaches (nude beaches mostly) and the scenery is absolutly perfect for a beach week get away.


Everyday day we would wake up at 10ish, eat breakfast, then head out to the beach. We'd lay around, play soccer or volleyball and have a drink until 4 or 5 then eat lunch at home or on the beach. They had a great Thai place (surprisingly) and of course the seafood paella was fantastic. After we ate we would head back to the apartment and nap for awhile or watch tv and would later go out and shop or wander around until 10 or 11 when we went home from dinner. After dinner it was off to a pub, or drinking wine in the hot tub on the roof. Best vacation ever.

I'm so baller sometimes I can't stand it ;)
