Our second honeymoon!

So I know it has been quite some time since I've updated.. so here we go.
      First off, as most of you know, Chad had left the last week of May to go study abroad in Spain. Well... it turned out to be A LOT harder on the both of us than we had expected. So, the last week he was there he decided to fly me up there for sort/-of-like a second honeymoon. We didn't get much of one right after the wedding due to the fact Chad had to work on Monday, so this actually worked out quiet nicely.

I didn't take as many pictures in Spain as I would have liked to only because I was much more worried about the 100 degree weather with no fans or air conditioning. Chad was honestly debating if I would actually make it or not.. lol luckily the VERY nice man who owned the dorms we were staying in let us borrow a fan because he felt so bad for us! Anyways to make a long story short I MADE IT and here a few photos I did manage to take(;
-This church was gorgeous, especially at night. It was a catholic church built in 1218! The architects must have been amazing back then considering this is still standing.. too bad they didn't leave us a few pointers..

These were just the streets, I know they don't look like anything spectacular but I was amazed by how clean they kept them. A truck drives by about 3 to 4 times a day to clean. I was very impressed!


And here is the famous Plaza Mayor! This place was INCREDIBLE. I learned that a lot of movies were actually filmed here, which is why it looked so familiar. This was kind of like a meeting point for everyone.. Almost where ever you go in Salamanca you have to walk through here to get to where you are going. There are always tons of people just standing around, with kids riding bikes and skateboards, ect.


So here is the first night I was there.. This is a HORRIBLE picture but after being on a plane all day I didn't really care. haha. There was a small concert going on in the street where we were staying so we decided to walk down and take a look. It was actually a lot of fun, we learned some of their dances and it was really neat to see how different things are there.

This is just a few cute pictures Chad and I took after getting some of the.best. ice cream.ever. literally. lol



And here is what scared me the most while I was there...
 These people hang there meat on the walls in almost 100 degree weather and just eat it raw.. Luckily I had the excuse to not eat it because I was pregnant (not that I would have dared to touch it either way) I have never heard of such. Buuttttt because I couldn't eat at what the local people did.. my wonderful husband found a Burger King. Which actually made me the happiest person ever. Everyday he would walk me down there for dinner and I would get one good meal a day.. during the day I would eat cereal and other small snacks.

For as little as I seemed to eat and as much as we walked (almost 4 to 5 miles a day) I still seemed to gain 22 lbs during the month of June. How? I have no idea.. lol Anyways this trip was a blast and defiantly one I will Never forget. I love Chad so much and I couldn't have asked for a better honeymoon!(:
