Mishaps in Spain no.6

This Sabbath my roommate Hernan and I went up on the mountain in front of the school to look for caves. I though I had seen a cave when i was up there before, so we were going to try to go to that. It took a lot longer to get there than I though it would. Especially since all the little bushes up there remind me a lot of Kebatangan. They are not as thick, butt still very wiry. There is also a lot of prickly ones up there too. Of course neither of us had the sense to wear long pants. Our legs got scratched up preetty bad, but it would have been a lot worse if it hadn´t been for the hair on our legs. It really does protect your legs. Some. Well, we found a lot of holes in the rocks that didn´t go back very far. One interesting thing that we did find though was an old hideout for soldiers during the Spanish civil war back in 1936 to 1939. It was a litlle cave that didn´t go back very far at all, but it could hold quite a few people. The entrance was partially covered up by a rock wall that had been put there by the soldiers. It used to cover more, because you could tell that part of it was broken down. Anyway, after about 3 hours Hernan had had enough and wanted to go back. There was one more little valley that I wanted to check for caves, so we made an agreement that if I found a cave that we would go back and take a look at it, but if I didn´t find anything, we would go back. Unfortunately, I didn´t find anymore caves, so I had to submit and go back. We went back through some orange groves. The oranges tasted so good. Anywho.

Classes are going good I guess. I am looking forward to our next tour which wil be this November 6 to 9. We will be going to Barcelona in Cataluña, and also to the country of Andorra. It will be really cool I think.

There are so many locutions in Spanish that it is really hitting me hard right now that if you don´t know them than knowing Spanish will not do you any good. At least not very much.

Well, I am starting to get back into Le Parkour again. There is a guy here named Dragus from Romania that knows a lot of martial arts, and also acrobatics. He is teaching me some new things to put in my repertoire. Right now I am perfecting my backhandspring, then we are going to go on to back flip and wallflip. The wallflip is what I am really looking forward to.

Well, I´ll see you all at the Pearly Gates. Hopefully before I get back to the States. You never know.
