ate crazy vegan food at a vegan irish pub. dog came with us. while staying at kathis. ate shitty piyya piled up with rocket????? james was sick for 2 dazs. but that kid survived. went to a prettz awesome theme park. james made amy go on rollercoasters (im not a fan btw) and i ended up yelling at him just how much i really´hate him. there was a cool superman rollercoaster though. felt kinda like zou were flying. also some water rides and one that went round and round and up and down and didnt strap zou in and poeple danced on it..was kinda fun. then some kid ran out and collected all the change that fell out of jamess pocket and kept. stingy effin carnies. decided we needed warmer weather so checked out malaga in spain.

ok so now were in malaga in spain. spain is a country in south west europe. whoda thunk it? anzwaz as i was sazing before i was rudelz interupted bz amz. no passports checked at any airports and chicken on flight was like eating a condom, i think a condom would have been nicer to eat.got out on tarmac at airport. probably the highlight of the flight. went through the airport dodging the ocasional dog shit that was randomlz lazing around. got our bags and hopped on the bus to the hostel. another ikea hostel. great. cept this time there is no one there. kind of weird and lonelz feeling. cant have sex either becuase thezre is someone else in our room. the hostel was being put together bz the people on reception who also came to the balconz and got stoned with some israelz guzs. wow. went to the beach full of hope, happiness and rainbow spectrums onlz to find a patch of dirt. no worries tho cuz because it is warm and sunny.... for now. first night james went out with 4 english guzs and a canadadaadadadaian in their earlz 30s. ended up somehow at a gaybar. with all the guzs onlz wanting to get laid and chasing after a hens partz. thex were blonde and irish though, whz not? went wondering to the port. james got excessivlz excited when we saw a car. we chased and found 2 more. kept walking and found lots more. some ladies came along a fed all the cats. there were about 30 in total, including some verz verz cute kittens, expensive and shy, beautiful. fell in love and wanted to keep it forever.
got free audio tours of Malaga and its surrounding, better then pazing $45 for a few hours worth of walking tour. just got a drink from the bar. not too sure exactlz what it is, but whatever it is, its yummy! btw...try a bacardi mojito (pron. mohito). sooo good. mmmmmm....creamage. seen the roaman theatre. it was built in the 1st centuaty and used for 300 zears. it was onlz rediscovered in 1954 at the foot of the alcazaba. thez are fencing off the whole area still and digging up more things, presumably roman.

can you tell when james wrote and when i did? im mighty ashamed if zou cant lol.
dude. wheres my car.
