I'll take you to foggy Londontown

To start off today, I left out a few fun facts from the aquarium that I found on a piece of paper in my jacket... yes I take notes when visiting things haha I learned the difference between a manta ray and a sting ray (manta ray is the one that looks like it has two prongs jutting out of its body), I was reminded that male sea horses are the ones who give birth to little sea horse babies, a certain type of shark (that I failed to right down) becomes pregnant with many babies but it is survival of the fittest in there because only two are born and the rest have been eaten by these two, and finally... I saw an octopus snoring. I could not hear it but some string of something was in a tentacle of some sorts and every time it exhaled out came the string. It was actually pretty precious.

Ok those are all the aquarium facts I have. Today has been an interesting day in Roquetas. We have been in CODE ORANGE wind advisory for the past two days and today we did not have power at our school. Take a look at the wind Spain experienced in February to get a little taste... glad I was not on this plane! I think the wind will be dying down this weekend though.

Today I got to plan my trip for Easter break and I am PUMPED! I'm taking in quite a few shows up in London and touring the football stadium of Chelsea, but even more exciting is that... I will be stalking James McAvoy. Yes, yes I will. He will be in London doing a play and thanks to learning the ropes from my older sister and our encounter with Luke Perry, I will be going out solo in hopes of a photo! I mean come on ladies, who would not have on their agenda to go look for this:


BTW Lost was fantastic last night. Oh and I had a cute run-in with an old Spanish man named Antonio at a bakery today - yay cute old people!
