The final day of spring break arrived so quickly. We woke up, all feeling a bit woozy, sick, and tired. One of the tapas we ate the night before must have been bad. We headed out anyway, getting some breakfast at a café I go to fairly often. We were slow-moving on Saturday due to not feeling 100%. After breakfast, I showed my parents Campo Grande, the huge park we have in the middle of the city. Unfortunately, most of the paths were closed off, but we were able to see some peacocks freaking out. One peacock had all his feathers out and appeared to be trying to threaten the other peacocks for some reason. They were all freaking out and making weird noises – it was very interesting to see. After that, we walked around a bit before we headed toward my school so I could show it to them. Later, we went to a grocery store so my mom and I could get some sandwiches for lunch and some crackers for my dad – he couldn’t eat much from being sick. After that, I was pretty much out of ideas for things to see in Valladolid. It’s really not that exciting of a city, so we went to the internet café I like and tried to skype with Lucas, but soon realized he had a band festival that morning and wouldn’t be there. My parents decided to head for the train station around 5:30 pm, so we said our goodbyes and went our separate ways. It was hard seeing them go after not being here very long at all, but I will see them sooner than it seems. I feel like time is just slipping through my fingers. I wish it would slow down a little; this trip is going by way too fast and I feel like I don’t have much time to just enjoy where I am and smell the roses. Well, after we parted, I headed back to my apartment, but soon realized I had forgotten my keys in my room. Dioni also had told me the day before that she wouldn’t be at home on Saturday so I couldn’t even buzz in. So, I pretty much had no way of getting in the apartment. Great. When I got there, I waited a few minutes before someone opened the building door to leave, so I was able to get in the building, but still couldn’t get in the apartment. I stood around for a bit, trying to think of a plan, until a couple ladies noticed me standing by my door. I asked them if they knew Dioni, and thankfully, Dioni knows everyone. They said they were friends of hers and let me into the apartment. Crisis averted. So I spent the rest of the night home alone, editing photos and writing blogs, readjusting to normal life again.

Día Dieciséis: Valladolid.
