Thirteen Things about LINDSEY
1. Barcelona was AMAZING! We got to go to a couple of amazing churches, walked all around the Gothic quarter, and went to the Picasso museum. We had a WONDERFUL time - my mom keeps saying that we need to go back there.
2. The only thing that I didn’t like was that they speak Catalan there, which is very very similar to Spanish, but just different enough that I was getting confused from time to time. However, my Spanish was better than I remembered it (the vocab anyways - the grammar, not so much), so that was exciting.
3. Right now we are on the cruise ship! It set sail about 2 hours ago (10PM Spanish time . . . 2PM EST). And of course, after settling our bags into our rooms and heading to dinner, the first thing that I did was check out the internet access ;-), bringing you my first international Thursday Thirteen! Wasn’t sure that would happen.
4. However, there is one teeny-tiny problem . . . wireless is $10 for 30 minutes!!!!!!!! RIDICULOUS. So, don’t be expecting too many updates in a timely fashion. I may write updates in Notepad and then post several at a time - might be the best way to do this.
5. I’m almost done reading a book that I started on the plane over (haven’t had too much time for reading yet - been sightseeing!), and I’m hoping to finish it tonight.
6. If I do finish the book, then I plan on releasing it tomorrow in Marseille, France. How cool will that be?!
7. A little nervous about tomorrow - since I was able to understand many many things via my Spanish in Barcelona, I haven’t really had the “I’m in another country and can’t speak the language” feeling. And tomorrow we’re going to France. The fact that I was able to get by with my Spanish in Barcelona was VERY comforting . . . we’ll see how this goes tomorrow.
8. The couple that we are seated with at our table is very, very chatty. Seem like nice people, but by the end of the meal, we were all tired, haha! Luckily we only eat one meal with them, and it’s at the end of the day after we’ve been doing stuff, so we’ll have something to talk about at least.
9. The casino is right next to the lounge that has Internet access. I keep hearing the ka-ching of slot machines. Stongly feeling the urge to waste all my quarters . . .
10. Please say prayers for Ben’s mother - she had a very difficult doctor’s appointment today, and I have yet to hear how it went.
11. And since I’m exhausted and have limited battery power, here are some quizzes :-). Will write soon ;-)!

You Communicate With Your Body
|
|
This isn’t as bad as it sounds, it just means that you’re a “touchy-feely” person.
You need a lot of affection in your life. And for you, this means both giving and receiving little touches.
Warm hearted, you bond with people easily. In fact, you often feel a little sad when you’re not in the company of others.
A little moody, you tend to be controlled by your emotions. But a bit hug always comforts you!

You Are an Excellent Cook
|
|
You’re a top cook, but you weren’t born that way. It’s taken a lot of practice, a lot of experimenting, and a lot of learning.
It’s likely that you have what it takes to be a top chef, should you have the desire…
