Scuba Diving
This entire thing is going to be bad luck until the end. It started off we woke up really early and I put in my contacts and I didn't eat breakfast and then we left for a 45-minute drive. We get there and the waves are too heavy to do anything so they decided (without telling us until we got there),...
Marketplace
In Morocco you can't drink the tap water because it isn't safe and some of the stands there would make their smoothies with the tap water because it's cheaper, so we couldn't get a smoothie. This was the last thing we all did together on the trip with everyone. At the marketplace a lot of people wer...
Old City
In the entire city there were only two families left that still lived there and it was built on a giant hill to protect the bank that was on top from attackers. It did get attacked a couple of times but it stood out all of them. All the stairs to get up to the top were different, as in they were all...
Movie Studio
At this place there was a lot of movies that we'd never heard of. It was one of the biggest movie studios in Morocco, and it was mainly to make it look like they're in Egypt because it's less expensive. Some of the movies that I remember were Gladiator and Cleopatra and Kundun. While we were there,...
Camels
Sorry this one is late, I forgot! The camels were fun. One lady's camel broke on her - it didn't want to go anywhere, so they traded out her camel for her. We went about a mile and we climbed up two hideous sand dunes. We all ran down together holding hands. The camel was funny. It was very bouncy....
Tea and Crumpets
So on the drive to our next place we saw s family of nomads. They made us tea and cookies. The tea was really good and the cookies were the same. The woman making our food said she said that see had 10 kids and here and her husband. Apparently she didn't know how to count past 10. Also I fixed my gl...
My Glasses Just Broke
So you know I'm behind on posts so I've been going them. While I was making the Flanenco Dancing one my glasses just broke. I've been having a lot of trouble with my glasses the frames have been disfigured for like a month. The frames are the part that broke not the lens Thank God. Sure frames for a...
Fes
We went on a tour of the whole city. At first we went to a pottery place. At the shop April and Derek bought a fountain an ugly one at that. Sorry. Then we went to a horrible place the tanning works. While we were there I actually thought of being vegetarian. Then the wearvery they taught us how to...
Mosque
This was the first thing that we did on the Morroco 10 day tour trip. I met a girl who's name is Alexis and she's sweet. Anyway when we got to the Mosque we had to take of our shoes and carry them. Over all the tour was alright.
Unlucky
So when we got to morroco we tried to get our checked bags we only got 1 of our three bags apparently they just forgor to put the other two on the plane and they could only get there tomorrow so dad went to get them the next day me and kivans came but April was gone they just lost it. Everyone's pre...
Roof
This was a tour of the roof of a cathedral. There were little stone toadstool looking things. You could look through them to see inside the cathedral. They even make a fake window because only God could see through it.
Real Alcazar
This place was like a palace but different. This was kinda like a masion. This place in the house part the royal amily now comes here for the summer sumtimes. It was still used for royal gatherings. We got a tour but before we literally weren't able to sit. The tour qas nice there was only one other...
Flamenco Dacing
This Spainish dance was great. It was a combination of claping taping and stomping. The dancing was incredible and extremely impressive. One of the dancers looked like Papa Vernon. They were wearing classic dresses. Oh also the girls had scarf like things.
Parque de Attractiones
So this is the time I finally got to go to a amusement park. I could only be 3 rides because of my concussion but I still had fun playing the games at the park. Th first one was the best one it was like a good roller coster with flips and turns. Although after this I didn't feel amazing. Then we pla...
Piggy
We went to Segovia to see the Roman aqueduct. While we were there we saw a bunch of other things and went on a nice hike. The aqueduct is the biggest preserved Roman aqueduct in the world. I went into a duck store and bought a Peppa Pig duck. I named this Piggy because I bought a stuffed animal that...
Totally Casita
We went to the castle of Spain. It was not tiny. It was bigger than everything in the town. It was interesting. Its courtyard was bigger than our entire house. Zzzzzz. (Branwen has fallen asleep in the middle of her post.)
Segway Tour
This was one of the funest things we've done so far! At first Kivan didn't think he would like it but then he ended up liking it. Our guide was very good. Mom and Dad had a bit of trouble doing it though. Dad and Mom fell off a couple times! On the Segway Tour we saw a castle that we went to the nex...
Zaragoza
The only thing we did in Zaragoza was a palace tour. This place was built by the Jewish then the Muslims came and built on the same land. Some of the color from when it was first built was still there. The place was amazing I was tired but it was a pleasant experience. The royalties had a pool in fr...
Water Rapids
We decided to go canyoning. If you don't know what canyoning is, look it up. As soon as we got to the place we were supposed to go canyoning we had to put on our wetsuits and do a ten minute hike uphill. The entire time I wasn't happy but as soon as we got into the water at the top I was. There were...
Mountain Time
The parents decided that we should all go on top of a nearby mountain. To get up to the mountain you had to go on a cable car. As soon as we got up there we tried to go find a place to eat dinner. We found a cafe but they didn't serve food after 4. The place on top of the mountain was a bit over 500...
Guggenheim Museum
This place was lame. April says I can't just post that and have to write more. The entire place was crazy. I was ahead of my family the entire time. We went there because there was a lot of modern art. Look up the audio guide tour, if you scan a painting or sculpture. It's supposed to take you to in...
Camp Nou
When I first went to Camp Nou I thought it was going to be boring but it was rather enjoyable. I learned a lot. April tried to get us seats to see a game but there weren't any games at that time. If you don't know what Camp Nou is, look it up! Just kidding, it's a soccer stadium that was a huge thin...
Weird house
This place was built in 1904 this was very much like one of the paintings in the museums we went to. Everything was not what you would expect even if expected it. It was barley the same. All the rooms meant something different but one thing the entire property was made after was nature. Oh also all...
Dali Museum
We went on a tour to get to this place. More about that later. This museum was amazing and it was very interactive. The cellings were like treasure hunt. Trying to find the right thing. There some other artists but they were also great. We had 3 hour but it only took us an 1hour and half so then we...
Sagrada Familia
This church is the best so far everything is amazing in the church. Nobody is disrespectful and almost the entire church is full. Alot of pictures are being taken. The church is still being built after 100 years. The top is the only part that is still bring built. This time felt so holy if that make...
Picasso
We just got to Barcelona, Spain and the same hour we went to the Pablo Picasso museum. It explained his entire life and all of the painting there were all original. Kivan had done a bunch of research on the painting and gave us a tour. Good job K-money. All the painting were amazing except for the c...
Ghost
On top of a hill next to our hotel the castle stood. April decided to go on a ghost tour of the place. The app she used was fine but not my favorite. We spent 127 minutes on this tour counting the lunch break. The entire castle was crawling with stalls shops and anything you could think of. All of t...
Prehistoric Caves
We all went a spot where we were supposed to be a bus in 30 minutes (it was 60 degrees). Then April got a text saying starting July 1st the tour starts at 9 instead of at 8:30. So after this our tour guide got there and then we drove to a museam. Then we went to a cave where there were drawing on th...
Castle
We went to the castle was were Catherine of Medicis and a lot of other famous people from the 15 hundreds lived. The castle was between occupied France and free France. It was a way for people to go to free France. Most of the things from the castle were still their even Diana of somethings signatur...
Stones
Wrle went to go see some stones that were placed in lines a long time ago. They kept adding stone until the 20 century and there ended up being 3000 stones. We had a guided tour in French but we were late so the only guide they had left was in English. There were supposed to be other people but they...
Tourist Trap
So the name should some this up pretty quick. This place was you guessed it another beeeach. When we where there it was fairly courded. We went it the castle on the top and spent a ridiculous amount of time in the castle. Then we tried to get food and the places were open just didn't have any food....
D-Day
We all went to the beach where D-Day happened. It was a very quite time when we where there flowers everywhere churchs graves croses stars. I really dont know how to describe it. One word could me wholesome but another could be sinister.
Swimming in the English Channel
Kivan April and I went to the beach next to our house. While April and I went to swim in the water Kivan was reading his book on blanket that we brought to the beach.Then I drve in the water head first and spalshed water everywhere including April.
Monet Garden
The family all went to Claude Monet's gardens. When we got there I looked at the outside and wasn't impressed but when we got inside I was awestruck. There were pretty flowers everywhere. The little bees were terrifying. We went to his house after walking through the luxurious garden. His house wher...
Lourve
We all went to the lourve and it was incredible. The first thing we did was to go to see the Mona Lisa. The line was really long so we stuck in a peak from the side. Then we had a little munch and for the next 3 hours we saw the rest that the lourve had to offer. Mom wanted to go and see a Jordanian...
Versailles
We had a tour guide for the entire time. She was nice. We started at the gardens and that's were we spent most of our time. The garden was amazing and so were all of the glamorous fountains. There were 55 fountains over the entire property. Also almost all the king were named Louis. Why. Shouldn't e...
Moulin Rouge part 2
The 2 part of the Moulin Rouge is the other 2 types of acts. The 3rd act was 2 male acrobats. Who literally stood on each other's heads. They were incredible and obviously were extremely talented. They did some pretty weird but intriguing things. Most that I don't even know how to explain. Well the...
Moulin Rouge
We all went to the Moulin Rouge last night. If you don't know what the Moulin Rouge is just watch the movie and you'll notice. For the performance we were VIPs so that mean we got nice seats 2 free bottles of wine and a care package. During the show there were a lot of explicate thing about it. Thin...
Macaroons
Derek and I went to a macaroon making class. The teacher was nice and so was the class. The macaroons were shockingly complicated to make. I made a light blue macaroon with a raspberry filling and Derek had a dark orange with a passion fruit. The entire thing lasted 2 hours and 30 minutes. Over all...
Seeing the Last Supper
April and I went to see the Last Supper. This painting was breath taking. Although it was very grainy it was still beautiful. We had 15 minutes to come and see the Last Supper. Through the entire thing April was telling me its history and involvement in World War 2. Even though we only had 15 minute...
Rowing the Grand Canal
April and I went on a rowing tour. We got to use a boat that only 7 to 8 were made. The way to row was very unique. I rowed to the half way point and then April rowed back. The scenery was incredible and I almost fell into the water multiple time. Over all the tour guide was nice and the entire expe...
Escaping
We did some escape rooms. There were 2 rooms at the places and they were both amazing. The first on was of a murder mystery with a Zodiac Killer. At the start April was handcuffed and I was tied up! But I was able to shimmy myself out and then later I got April out of her handcuffs. April even got t...
The Leaning Tower of Pisa
April and I went on a train to the city of Pisa. The train ride was about 1 hour to get to Pisa. When we got there I was hungry so I got some pizza. It was horrible! So after this we got into line. We had to wait about 20 minutes so I got put my phone. It was time to go in so I put my phone away and...
Opera
April and I are going to an opera. The opera I about a story called Aida. I'm so exited to go! Just watched the opera and April loved it but I don't know I kinda liked it but it was in Italian so I couldn't really understand it. It was only 1 hour and ten minutes so I could get through it. I guess o...
Duomo
So April and I went up the Duomo and I was kinda not impressed. I mean everything looks the same. No like litterly all the building are made of the same brick and all have the same tiles roofs. The monuments are kinda cool though like the church's and the bell tower. There's also aa castle tower in...
Doggo
April and I are at the Napoli train station and waiting for your train. I got hungry so I went out to get some food. Then I ended up in a store and I got April a surprise. It was a doggo!!

Boat
April and I were on a boat for 7 hours around Capri. We had lunch (which I hated) and went all the way around the island. We even went to 3 different grottos. Oh and we also saw a heart I graved into a cave.
I Got Hit by a Car
April and I were drawing out bags up the very large hill to the hotel and a speeding car came by and hit my hand. The driver came over to see if I was OK and thankfully I'm fine. The plastic handle hit my hand so it didn't hurt. This is just a sign to always be thankful of how much time you have on...
McDonalds
After we got into Naples we decided to go and eat some McDonalds. When we got there it was pretty crowded. The food came fairly quickly. When I was eating I noticed my bun was falling apart but it was fine. While I was eating the food a bird came into the restaurant and couldn't get out. The bird ca...
Male Meany Butt
April and I are on the train to Naples. A man sitting next to us on the train was watching a movie without earbuds. The entire coach was mad. So April tried to give him unused earbuds but the man said no and continued to watch his movie. After like 1 minute he put it away and went to sleep. He just...
Coliseum
We toured the Coliseum and the Roman Forum. The tour lasted 3 hours and the guide was amazing. She was incredible for the heat and the crowds. If we were there by our selves it would have been extremely difficult.
Different Things That I've Seen
Every food is tiny in portions and the Cafe made an American breakfast. I have almost gotten run over like 10 times! There's also no air-conditioning. Everybody's wearing dresses. Over all everybody and everything is beautiful.
2 weeks to go
I'm so exited that in 2 weeks I'm going to go to Italy! At the moment I'm most exited about learning about how to make gelato.
