Spain (Part 1)

 Spain 

When we got to Spain, we were in Barcelona for three nights. We were there with mom’s friend. While we were in Barcelona we went to an event where people make human towers. There were three teams: blue, green and light blue. The bottom was a bunch of people holding up two or three guys then it kept going up till there were kids climbing. The first two kids held up another kid who then got climbed over. It was weird but cool.

We went to Valencia next. Valencia is a city on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea. It is the third biggest city in Spain. We went to one of the old gates of the city and we climbed it which was kind of scary as I have a fear of heights. The steps were super big and on the stairs to the first level on one side there was no wall or railing for about half the steps. When you got up the first two flights of steps there was another set of steps that divided into two different sets leading up to the two towers. We all went to the one on the right; but once dad and I went down from that one we went to the other one and did not tell mom and Owen. Mom was surprised when we saw them from across the way because she knows I do not like being high up.

On a different day Mom and I went to watch Sleeping Beauty, the play, at a theater near our apartment. It was in Spanish so we had very little idea of what they were saying. The costumes were strange and there were only five actors but it was fun. The fairies were the creepiest part (they were all boys and one of them acted as the prince.) Maleficent or Mallefica as they call her here was not as creepy as I thought she would be. The dragon was a puppet. There were people controlling it from behind the curtain and you could not see its face at all. 

Overall Spain has been good. But we have three weeks left.
