We made it back down to Murcia this afternoon and will spend a couple days here before heading to the beach. Overall, Sitges was a good little trip. The beaches are really nice but there was just too many people there. I'll post a couple pics here in a few.

Castedefels

We went to another beach about 15 mins away this.afternoon. The town/beach is called Castedefels.

And then there were two

Yeaterday we took one of the fish back because it would not stop bothering the other ones. He had the other fish stressed and he had to go. Well today our first fish we bought died. Nothing physically appeared wrong so I think it was the stress from the other fish. So our tank will be a little empty until September when I will get more more fish and my shrimp!

At my favorite beach in España, la Carolina. Great beach with a great name!!

My favorite comedian, Dave Chappelle, performed two shows in Knoxville and apparently we were a terrible crowd. I've read that the audience was terrible in at least one of the shows and ok in the other. Dave summed up the experience with this quote, 'I brought the fine China, but you want the paper plates.' I guess we can't have anything nice. http://www.knoxville.com/news/2013/jun/26/dave-chappelle-performs-knoxville/

I had my last class yesterday so now I will have time to watch all the movies I've been wanting to see. I also went and shot around for about 30-45 mins yesterday morning so that was good. I hadn't touched the ol' roundball in quite some time.

Here is the wikipedia entry for Murcia. It's worth a look to find out some information about where I live. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murcia

Back at the beach for the weekend.
This is the view from the living room.

First trip back to the beach this year!

This is amazing...

Happy Father's Day to my Pops and all the other father's out there!!!

89 degrees in our apartment right now. The fish might actually boil this summer.

Here is a pic of the Bentley except the one we saw was black. Just a cool $300,000+ car. Nothing special.

I am, and will always be, an Audi man but the Bentley I saw yesterday is making all the Audis I see look a little sad. I don't even know what kind it was but I will try to find it on the internet.

Our 6€ coke

It's about to go down...

All paperwork taken care of. Now lunch, rest and The Lion King tonight.

Sad story about a Dutch couple that was killed here a couple weeks ago. http://www.euroweeklynews.com/news/spain/item/114510-dutch-volleyball-player-killed-by-blow-to-head-in-murcia

We have been missing our newest and smallest fish for a couple days. After a very up close look at the inside of the filter, I found him.

This always makes me laugh. It also happens to be true.

Well I can't really complain about my allergies. Nuria has been in bed since last night because her back is messed up. Her doctor had to send a nurse to the apartment to give her a couple shots. She can barely get out of bed.

These allergies are kicking my butt

Happy Memorial Day everyone!! We will never forget those that gave their lives ,and those sacrificing their lives now, for our country!!

I got a retweet from Muggsy Bogues! It's the small things that can make you happy, happy, happy.

This picture brings back so many great memories of being a young Hornets fan. And of course Muggsy and LJ were my favorite players but even bringing back the old colors, I don't think I could be a fan these days.

Here is the web address to our friend's website. He is the one that made the video with us in it and we also sho up in a couple photos. THe video is called Everyday Routines and I posted it on here a couple weeks ago. Photos of Nuria and I are in the part called Psycho and we are the last two. http://www.fabricafotografica.com/

I recommend taking 20 mins and watching this video. http://www.upworthy.com/this-kid-just-died-what-he-left-behind-is-wondtacular-rip

Prayers for those in Oklahoma.

Finally got a couple guys in the tank but already lost one though. Don't know if he was sick when we bought him or if it was something from our aquarium. I made sure he had a full stomach before he left this world.

Interesting places all over the world that are definitely worth a look. http://www.dailygood.org/story/432/11-unbelievable-places-that-are-hard-to-believe-really-exist-bored-panda/

Happy 14th birthday to my favorite young lady!! Uncle Brandon love you!!

Here is a video a friend of ours made. It is about opposites/contrasts and features Baby Lara's (Spanish niece) voice at the 45 sec mark, yours truly and Nuria.

Latest pic of the aquarium. Should have some fish im a week or two.

Tank now has gravel. Purple gravel...

The tank has finally arrived to its third and final location. It's back in the living room and ready to be filled with rocks, water and fish.

My new project

28 tacos as they say here in España!!

My Spanish family got me a fish tank for my birthday. I had unofficially retired from owning fish but it looks like I'm back im the game.  Thank you Familia Romero!

Happy birthday to myself!!

I got a new phone yesterday and today they installed our internet. Slowly, but surely,  making technological improvements in my life. This is my first blog post from the new phone using the house's wi-fi.

Thank you mom and dad! Between my samoas and the pulled pork and cherry coke last week, I feel like I'm back in Tennessee!

Between the time change and my siesta today, I don't think I'm ever gonna go to sleep tonight.  I hope everyone had a great Easter!

Back in Murcia and it only took 5 1/2 hrs.

Our last night was spent in the Bacardi museum. The man who created the Bacardi rum, Facundo Bacardi, was from Sitges but went to Cuba and created the rum there. So in his honor, thereis a museum in Sitges. During the tour we learned about the history and the process of how it is made. They then gave us a tutorial on how to make a mojito and cuba libre. The end of the tour was to prepare on own mojito. We then went to dinner and for ice cream. We headed out around 10:30 this morning and now we are about two hours away from Murcia.
