Soooo hot!!!!

I'm officially jealous!!! Only because Jerez de la Frontera is a bigger city than my little Corte and there are lots of festivals and things to do there! AAAAAnd it's sooooooo cheap!!!! Not fair at all :D But it's too warm for me to live there and go about my everyday business... And the heat will get worse during the summer! Omg how do people not melt?? And Tapas!!! I never understood what they were and therefore didn't know what the big deal was but omg!!!! Why doesn't every country do tapas like that????? It would go down so well, especially in student towns (like Aber khm khm khm).

There is a place that does little sandwiches for a euro, 1 euro!!!!!!!!!! (on Sundays and Wednesdays), normally they are about 1.20, Mondays special offer is 2 for 1!!!!!!! can you imagine that???? If I had that near me I'd go there to eat every day! Probably good that I don't have it anywhere near me :D You have a choice of over a 100 different sandwiches and usually 3 will give you a full tummy + with every order you'll get a free helping of crisps!!!! Drinks are a euro as well, so 4 euros is all you need to get a "meal". Expand to other countries!!!!!!!!

Jerez is a Sherry town and obviously we had to go to a tour and tasting. We wanted to go to the one right behind Rebeccas flat, checked the visiting times the day before and got there about 5 minutes early but the gates were closed, the sign was still up saying that it should be open... :( Instead we went to a shushi place then, 6.50 for loads of food, 8 shushi pieces (some rice cubes with stuff in them and some rice with salmon on it - I don't know how theyre called, makis), a big plate of noodles (it was just spaghetti there but :D we couldn't eat it anyway - too full) and a drink (verano tinto - red wine with lemonade). 6.50 for all of it!!! Am I in paradise?

After the big lunch we had to rush through town to another sherry factory - Sandeman - and for 7 euros I think we got to know the history of the company (founded by a British bloke (Scottish to be more exact I think)), how sherry is made and got to taste 3 different sherrys. There was an option of tasting with tapas too but we were too full and cheap to pay extra for it. Nevertheless we got crisps and olives for free anyway :D 

A Sherry ghost showed us around :D

The hat is Spanish and the cape is Portuguese because the company has a factory in Portugal as well.

Two visits to the beach and now I've swam in the ocean two times already! :) + I have a nice tan ;)

It's only the beginning of May and everyone's already on the beach

That's about it of my holiday... It was too hot though already :D If it was a tad chillier it would be a perfect place to live!!!! :P Oooh  they have cheap huge chinese stores for everything! Paradise? :D

2 things I forgot:

• The first morning we had breakfast (mmmm... smoked Estonian sausage with black bread omg, heaven) and when finished went back to Rebeccas room - suddenly she started screaming - what had happened???? Turns out a bird - a pigeon had gotten into her room. On a closer inspection we noticed that the window was in the vent position not fully open. So how the hell did he get in in the first place!?!?!?! It couldn't have been by accident he must've pushed himself through the tiny space... And now it was stuck :( We peeked through the door and saw him trying to get out. Basically flying against the window, then falling down, then trying again, omg so sad. We were too scared to go in and open the window. Finally Rebecca found a blanket. Put that over her - sooo funny and charged in, opened the window as quick as possible and ran back out. By that time the pigeon was already too dizzy and just sitting on the bed. C'mon fly out! You can now!!!!!! Nothing... poor thing. So we got a big broom and started gently pushing him to make it fly out, and finally it worked! yay :) How did he get in was still beyond me though :S 
• One day we had to take cash out but the cash machine was a bit weird - I thought it was way too slow and Rebecca thought the green thing on it was suspicious. I said the bank put the green thing on it themselves to protect the card, because I'd seen them loads before. She on the other hand thought nothing of the slowness of the machine. So we both kinda soothed each other, no it's nothing, we're freaking out over two totally different things, so it must be fine. Back home, did some googling and the next days whenever we passed an atm checked if they had the green thingy. So far no ones stolen our money so it's all good. But at first we truly were a pair of paranoid parrots :D

Ttyl ;)

Jazzz...
