Mimidora The Explorer

I took a side trip to Huelva. A port city of Spain :) I like the city. It's more quiet and calmer than Madrid but ofcourse i love how vibrant and alive Madrid can get.
It's just nice to get away from the noisy and fast paced life once in a while.

I met a friend of mine who i have not seen for the longest time! ¡Hola! It's Rogan Canseco!! And of all places to see each other, in Spain :) now it had become a running joke to us. "oh we just ran into each other... Just in Europe" hahaha

Rogan had been a good friend of mine, and Crystal since college days even if we are not from the same school.






We ate "Secreto de Iberico" a pork dish with pesto sauce and fries





We ate at El Horno de Leña






We walked along the road and saw the pretty city hall which by this time is empty because it was a weekend siesta time but earlier it was full of protesters as seen in the photo below this:






This was a few hours before:






Anyway, we decided to eat ice cream at a nearby heladería (ice cream shop) because it's pretty warm in this place considering the location which is south.






I got "turron" flavor but it's not the same turron we have in the Philippines. It's quite different. But it was reeeeeally delicious!





Rogie got chocolate and that was the best chocolate ice cream ever!!!






We had time to spare for photo moments. Although some are in my other camera which i will post later on.


















Structures here are wonderful and still had a touch of Arabic architecture






And so before we said our "hasta luego"s, we had a picture taken again for memory's sake. Like what Rogan told me, "these pictures are really expensive considering the cost of the plane fare, etc"






There was a flamenco girl too but the picture is in my other camera. Hmph...

Oh well, i shall just write an extenstion entry to this with pictures :)

¡Buenas Noches España!

Location:Huelva

I was not able to finish this blog entry on time because i had to do so much things today.

I woke up a little later than usual because it's a Saturday :)

Guess what i had for breakfast? Yes! Galletas as usual :) Mama Eva had been insisting that i go to The Plaza del Puerto del Sol and so i looked for it on my map and which metro is closest to it.

I decided to play with my make up today instead of daily fashion statements.

I walked to the metro and grabbed a metro map because i forgot my metro map back home and i checked which stations i have to change lines if necessary. Well, it was a straight ride from Estrecho to Sol.

Once i got out of the station i saw right away, flyers and posters and tents and lot's of protesters.... Apparently their protesting has not finished yet.

I took pictures ofcourse and then left them alone. I walked around and i saw TOPSHOP!! :)




i checked the topshop website and apparently this is the only topshop in Spain.

There's a nice clothin store in Spain which i was able to visit earlier. Blanco :) i love their footwear and dresses




I walked some more and checked out some souvenir shops... I was even thinking to myself "it's ok to get lost in Madrid today.... It's a saturday, i don't have class and there are lots of metro stations everywhere"

...true enough i did get lost :) i walked and walked and walked i even saw a gathering of hearin impaired people :)



it's kind of nice to get lost sometimes.

I found my way back to the El Puerto del Toledo station... It's quite far from Sol station so i can't believe until now how much i walked.

I finally arrived home, ate lunch and called my folks.

Mama Eva left for awhile and after a few minutes i left the house as well to buy a bottle of "Suavizante por Las Ropas" or Fabric Conditioner :)

Along the way i saw so many stores with beautiful items both clothes and accessories, much much cheaper than in H&M and Bershka, Mango and Zara...

But i was sad because i found out that my favorite accessory store was cloain and it was the last day today.

I was sooooo tired so i walked back home and Mama Eva was back waitin for her friend to contact her because they were going out today.

I read the newspaper as usual and a few brochures. Mama Eva's friend finally arrived.

They left and now it was my chance to wash the clothes i don't want to be washed in the washing machine... Oh man that was tiring, washing, wringing and most specially the hanging because you know how vertically challenged i am, it was hard to reach the clothes line.



I ate dinner while waiting for my clothes to be left for awhile on the suavizante and then i came backto rinse and wring and hang.





After the hanging, i took a bath. A good one.

i decided to watch tv a little. Mama Eva is still not here and she told me anyway that i cam watch whenever i want.

Such a long day, must sleep already :) before i went to sleep i listened to Chanquete Radio España and to my surprise, "A Dios Le Pido" (i ask God) by Juanes played!!!!!!! Juanes! Oh by the way he's coming on 20 July.... I really hope i can watch his concert even if i'm faraway from the stage :)

Anyway, i really have to sleep already. I'm going to a museum tomorrow with a friend :)
