Sooooo, a couple of days ago we went to a bull/cow ranch/farm to watch them test some cows those are the females bc they are not trained to fight. So they treat them like bulls to test there natural aggression and anger towards them and out of the 5 tested on is chosen to be breed, the one that is the most aggressive, the rest are killed and sell there meat, and ect. It was  alot of fun tho, hanna got to go into the ring i was so jealous! One of the bull fighters there was this SUPER famous one who is 1 really hot and 2 the best bull fighter in SPAIN and we got to be there with him and had no idea till we left and the guy that owned the ranch told us. 
The next day we went to a horse ranch kinda thing but it was called an aquestrian club, so it is like our country club but with out a golf course it has horses and practice rings and stuff. I found this one horse who looked a little older since she had a lot of grey hairs but she was so beautiful and sweet i pet her for like 20 mins. Then i went to the back area to take pics of a class and i was kinda hanging onto the fence barley hanging on trying to get a good pic and the teacher let me go into the ring to get picture it was really fun. This little boy that was in the class found me later and wanted to see the pictures i took of him and so i showed it to him. Then his mother gave me her email so i could email the pictures to them, i felt professional. 
Today we went on a hike and let me tell you it was an adventure. So about 5 of us are normally at the front bc we walk faster then the rest and dont dittle dattle well we were trying to find the strating point we lost over half of our group and dont know how at all, we waited for like 20 mins for them wondering how the heck they got lost, then davan the ng leader that was with the 5 of us went off for 30 mins walking around this TINY mountain town to find them and came back and couldnt. So then we walked around the town for like an hour got all the way to the top to look over it and couldnt find them still so we just went off on our own to do our own hike. It was a lot of fun, i enjoyed doing it in a smaller group tho. We found this large stream and got to go swimming in it kinda it was super cold so we would just "submerge" - Davan our selves into the water or just stand in it since it was really cold. Going to the water it was a down hill hike then when we had to go back up OMG it was so steep it was so hard, my goal was to have legs like Stephany Roberts and that is going to happen bc of this trip. Then we came back i was so tired i slept for 3 hrs. We had lots of pasta, salad, cheese, fruits, and bread for dinner that our teacher cooked for us to eat at our hostal. It was really good then we went back over to the alumbra but not exactly to it, we went to this tiny square again to take picture at blue hour (not an hour long just like 15 mins long, which is the time period b4 the sky is too dark and if you adjust your iso, f-stop, and shutter speed just right then when you take the picture your sky looks a deep royal blue it is beautiful. The pics will not upload on my blog so i will just have to show yall when i get back. 
Then tomorrow we have a free day! just in the morning tho to rest and shop and what not, haha. O yeah i forgot to day yesterday the day we say the horses, that night we got to go to these arab baths and there was tea a sawna warm and cold baths and we all got massages it was WONDERFUL, i just thought i would throw that tid bit of info in there okay in going to bet it is 12 our time now. I will hopefully see yall soon,

  1. Shelby,
    So sorry you didn't get to "fight the cow-bull"!! I bet that was very interesting. Sounds like you are having a great time and learning a ton of stuff!! Can't wait to see the pictures. Tyler stayed with us over the weekend and we a chance to see him play in a BB tournament. He played very well, but the team lost the game. Sorry about that! Can't wait for you to get home.
    We love you,
    Nanny
