OCTOBER 30 COOKIE FACTORY!!!

So today got up at 8:03am by the awesome feeling that i had to go to the bathroom.... then realized that i forgot to set my alarm and that i was leaving for a cookie factory today at 9:30 so i was really excited that i woke up. Got on the bus at Prado(a real centrally located place) then had the 1 and 15 minute bus ride to Estepa/Osuna. We were going on the trip with my university and it was for to just simply visit these two places and in Estepa there was a cookie factory that a teacher at the university family owns so every year he takes students to go see this family cookie factory... Pretty sweet deal i would say!!!=) Got to Estepa and it was great! There were more olive trees then i could ever count... fitting as though this region is #2 in the world for producing olive oil=)

Got inside the factory and had a walking tour of how this place worked and how it produces all the awesome cookies. The first thing we were told is that this place could not sell its products in the US because of the content of fat!!! HAHAHAHA they are made with sugar, flour and FAT(and some other stuff but those are the top 3). So we moved along and the mother and father of the professor were both working and it was neat to have the family together workin=) Made me miss home and the ranch and my momma and pap=) Along the way we were always overwhelmed with the awesome smell of fresh cookies! The entire town smelled like a fresh baked cookie, IT WAS GREAT! And along the way we also got fresh cookies right after they were packaged!! it was so fantastic, they were so so so SO SO SO good, chocolate, sugar, fat....... INCREDIBLE!!!=)

After the walking tour we went to a sweet old castle and chilled out there and we climbed up into a tour that had a sweet view of the entire city... beautiful! We then went down to a little pub to have some lunch and the owner of the place was really old and way cool. He busted out a dollar bill (spanish of course) that was like 200 YEARS OLD! I got a picture of all this but read tomorrows blog to see why i don't have any pictures.. (SAD DAY). But this guy had coins from when they used gold and silver as currency! Then we went to Osuna and looked at an old school and i got to talk to a friend named Mez all the time there and home and that was great... we talked about a ton of stuff and i gained a new view on some parts of life because of what she told me about hers=)

Got home and grabbed a bike and biked over to Martha's house to get a ride to Burmujos with her and my BF Abraham=) We rode over to Darby Pushic, a Jesus friend of our, who is here for 2 years, her house for dinner and a birthday party! Wow was it great everyone was there. David Acton, Johnny, Abraham, Jose Maria, Megan, Darby, Blackstons, Megan, Andrea, Christy and just all the people i love hangin out with=) AND there was MEXICAN FOOD nothing better in Spain than American made Mexican food... wow it was AWESOME thanks to everyone who pitched in=)

Darby was turning 24 and we sang happy birthday and had brownies and a cake and a pinata and apple bobbing and the Blackstons sang the song "No more Bacon" that was a riot=) Then we just hung out and chilled all night playin spoons and poppin balloons=)
