Alicante and Where I´ve Been

*Edited to add photos from my phone!!!+

Hi! How are you?! I have been MIA over here for a couple weeks since I SURGED THE MOTHERBOARD ON MY COMPUTER like a big dummie. All I wanted to do was upload some (important, obviously) pictures to my computer so I could keep all of you folks up to date on the things I´m eating and the strange things I see during my day to day (since I know you care)…so anyway, I plugged in my s/itty charger and *poof*…motherboard dead, computer DEAD, dreams of having a blog- dead. Not really, but writing here is close to impossible. I´m typing this post from the library and click-clacking away on their ancient computers and it´s nearly 1000* F in here FOR SURE. You really should feel special that I am putting myself through this. Also, I fully expect this entire post to be full of typos because this computer is in Spanish so every single word I have typed is underlined in red. Even ´Spanish´is underlined.

Anywhoooo….like the title suggests, I went to Alicante last weekend with Annie and Kristen since we had a long weekend! And it was perfect and so much fun!

Alicante is on the Mediterranean and the water was blue-green, clear, and COLD. We stayed in a little airbnb on the beach that was absolutely perfect for us. While it wasn´t actually in downtown Alicante, it was as close to the beach as you can get, so it was great. And it was clean! Only a few ants…

I bet that pool is awesome in the summer. We did not test it out.

We spent the first day in and out since the rain was off and on, unfortunately. We had some lunch, did a little shopping, and spent some time on the beach. The rain came through eventually, but it cleared up so we headed into town for drinks and dinner and photos, obviously. We had drinks at a little tourist stop and then walked for a bit before deciding to eat at a Turkish place. Thus hummus called to us…and ended up not being that great! But the other food was fantastic.

And then crashed hard that night.

The second day started with a delicious breakfast!

We ventured to Benidorm (another beach…known for it´s ´skyscrapers´. Haha….not exactly skyscrapers) BUT the beach was AMAZING! …and completely full of old people! And boobs! haha. Benidorm had a lot more people than our beach, which made it feel more like a beach town. I think between where we stayed and Benidorm, Benidorm was nicer so go there.
