Back from Sitges

Amigos! Valle! Everyone says valle-pronounced bah:ley- all the time here, its all crazy. So today was my first excursion with ISA and we went to the nice beach city of Sitges. The town is famous for its playas which had the clarity of lake tahoe, the sand of the Bahamas, and about 5x as many gay people as Tiger Heat in Los Angeles packed onto the beach wearing speedos. Definitely twas' the best beach that I have been to since I have been here...to top it all off, right when I left I found out that the town had Mexican food! This is one thing that I am definitely missing...I have not had tortilla chips and sals/guac since I left. I definitely know what my first meal is going to be when I get back to the States.

Before la playa, I also took a trip to one of the worlds oldest/most famous wineries. It is called Codorniu. Here we got to explore the cellars, learn about how they create their champagne and then...the best part...there was this random tram ride through the wine cellar at like 10 mph which felt like the indiana jones ride at Disney La
nd haha. After touring the facilities, they of course busted open some bottles and allowed everyone to try their famous brew
Note: No drinking is allowed on ISA excursions!
It worked to their advantage, because I definitely bought a souvenir haha
