I’m so fucking tired! I got less than 4 hours of sleep on the train last might due to crazy fun!
Yesterday morning we went to the zoo and saw the “special” white gorilla named Snowflake. Just a dumb fucking animal to me. We saw a dolphin show and all that good stuff, but we left after 2  and a half hours because of hungryness. {I cringe writing some of this because I have no idea why I ever thought “hungryness” was an actual word. Also, when I wrote about the Albino gorilla I thought “Oh, how awesome!” and then the next words I saw were “Just a dumb animal to me” and I’m upset for myself for thinking that way.}
After Burger King we saw some big church thing and made our way back to the station. Our train left at 6:00pm and we hated the people in our compartment so we migrated over to the next one where a 23 year old named Mike had just gotten done with the Peace Corps in Romania for 2 years and wanted to hit Portugal before he went home to Michigan again. But somehow all these Americans weaseled their way into our “new” compartment with it now being me, Mike, Zack (Canadian), 2 guys from Germany, a girl from Norway, and another L.A. guy. Oh yeah, and some fat old Spanish guy who spoke no English.
At around 12:00am someone pulled out some hashish and rolled ‘er up. Yeah! 20 minutes later we had another one going and by that time we just talked about the weirdest things; past experiences, drugs, swearing at people in front of their face and watching then smile. We talked about everything until about 4:00am and then went to bed, thus taking up all the room so that the old guy had to stay awake all night outside the room.
Today we got into Seville at around 8:00am and left with Mike to go hit the town. We saw “The Cathedral of Seville” which is the biggest in the world, and also where Cristobal Colon (Christopher Columbus) is buried. Me and Mike lit up in it! Fuck that jazz! We walked around in the record-breaking 45 degree weather. Ouch! Now we’re on the train to Algeciras for going to Gibraltar and Morocco, Africa tomorrow. Whew. Only 4 more days! It was cool outside the train last night because the moon was not only orange but at the same level as me. So cool.

I don’t know what else to say, so I won’t.
