Today Anna and I went to the beach. I think this was our last beach day because she has to study so much right now :c We swam to the small island close to the beach and after 2 hours of swimming we went to have a drink at Roxy Beach. I enjoyed every second of my day.

So um, where should I begin? So much has happened during the last 10 days! The 4th of June Rebecca, Evelina and Juni came to Mallorca! They stayed during their visit in a hotel close to where I live so it was very easy for us to see each other :) We went to the beach, they got to see the nightlife in Magaluf, we went shopping to Palma and we just enjoyed each others' company :) It was wonderful to have them here, and their visit made me even more exited about coming home on next week's Thursday! Today they flew back to Finland so now I have to start thinking of how to pack all my stuff.
Here are a few pictures from their visit:

Last Thursday (May 31) Pia came here :) Unfortunately she left early this morning. During the days when she was here we went to the beach, shopping, and stuff like that. It was really nice to have her here, the only problem was that she was a very short time! Tomorrow, on Monday, I have to go to school because I have a presentation about new materials.......... But after school I'm going to see Rebecca, Juni and Eve, my friends from Finland! They're staying in a hotel quite close to where I live so I bet we're going to be together 24/7, haha! Today I'm only going to sleep and practice what I'm going to say in the presentation tomorrow.

Now my mum and my sister are back in Finland, but in less than a week my friend, Pia, is coming here to see me! :D I'm so excited to see her! And on 4th of June Rebecca, Juni and Eve are coming here! So from next week on my life here will be exciting again (as nothing interesting has happened here since mum and Astrid went back home). I'm going to take a little bit holidays when my friends come here so basically I only have 4 school days left. :O Then of course one day I'll go to school to say bye bye to everyone. I can't really believe I have less than a month left here. Now when I think about it, this school year has gone very fast!

So on Mother's Day mum, Astrid, Gaby and I went to a castle near the centre of Palma. We were there for a while and then after that we went to the beach in Portals. Later in the evening mum, Astrid and I went to a market in Palmanova. Astrid got a necklace and then we ate pizza for dinner.
Yesterday, on my birthday we ate a very nice breakfast at my mum's & sister's hotel and then we took a taxi to Porto Pi, the shopping centre. We ate lunch in a chinese restaurant in Puerto Portals, together with my uncle and his family. I had a supergood time with everyone and the food of course was amazing (as always)! After lunch we had the dessert at my uncle's place. I had a really good 18th birthday c:
Today we were at the swimming pool for a few hours and then we went to a place where they braid hair and my sister got small braids in her hair. In the evening we ate dinner with Anna and her mum. It was really nice to present my mum and sister to Anna and her mum ^^ Here are a few pictures from these days.

Today mum and Astrid came here! We went to eat lunch and then we went for a while to the beach in Palmanova. Now we're all at my uncle's place and we're going to eat dinner together. It's been so great to see them, and now I miss everyone in Finland even more! Here are some pictures from today :)






Finnish chocolate and Bepanthen for my lips, nice! And a tube that looks like lipgloss but it's actually candy.. A birthday present from my sister, aw :'D

Today I've been to school and after school I went to dance class. We're now dancing to LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It, and I looove the dance my teacher's made to us! Plus, the song's funny so I'm really having a good time dancing to it.
Here are my plans for tomorrow: I got to school, finish it at 12 o'clock, wait for my uncle to pick me up and then we drive to my mum's hotel! YAY! I'm so excited to see my mum and my sister! This whole week I've been talking about them coming here and I'm sure everyone in my class know that they're coming here tomorrow, haha :D
Nothing exciting has happened here, the days are quite the same as before, nothing special. Well okay, the weather is so much hotter now than a few weeks ago. It's about 29-30°C during the day :o So that's super nice :)

En ole kauheasti kirjoitellut tänne viime aikoina. Ei täällä tosin paljoo ole tapahtunutkaan. Käyn koulua, tulen kotiin jne. Viime perjantaina tapasin kuitenkin Stellan Mattlidenin lukiosta. Tiesin, että hän oli tulossa tänne leirille joten me päätimme tavata. Kävelimme vain ympäriinsä täällä ja oli todella helpottavaa puhua ruotsia, vaikka yhdessä vaiheessa huomasinkin puhuvani englantia (vahingossa siis).. o_O Eilen, eli sunnuntaina, leivoin mokkapaloja ja kävin lenkillä. Tänään olen ollut rannalla pari tuntia. Meillä on vapaata koulusta tänään ja huomenna :) Illemmalla lähden taas lenkille.
Tänään on 11 päivää kunnes äiti ja Astrid tulevat tänne! Ja tasan 2 viikkoa kunnes täytän 18 vuotta! Jejeee :D

At 9.30 in the morning we got in the car and drove to Madrid. We had a few hours time before my plane would take off so we went to this beaaautiful garden. Unfortunately I've forgotten the name of it. But it was amazing! Really beautiful!

After we'd eaten breakfast we took the car and drove to some small pueblos around León. In the evening Clara and I met up with María and we had so much fun together! It feels so different to hang out with Clara and María now that I actually understand what they're talking about together. It's really nice though :D

Today we went for a walk in León. We went to see the three most important buildings; the Cathedral, San Isidoro church and San Marcos. I also met Clara's abuela (grandmother) and her abuela's sister. Both of them were very sweet. Ah I love Spanish people.

My Mignon egg <3 yummyy

Clara's birds.

The Cathedral in León.

In the morning Clara and I had time to go to the shops but as I didn't have much space left in my suitcase I couldn't buy as much as I'd wanted. I guess it's better like this, haha! After lunch we took the bus to León. The trip took almost 4 hours, ugh. Ha :)

Still Madrid, but from a higher level.

We got up before 12 and went straight to the centre of Madrid. Clara and her mum took me to el Museo del Prado and we spent some hours walking in the museum. After lunch we went to a park and some shops. Jose Carlos invited us to his house for dinner and I had a really nice evening over there.


Clara cariñooooo! <3

My flight to Madrid went good, it took only 1h 20min. When I'd found my suitcase I went to look for Clara and her mother Ana and I found them immediately.Together we took the bus to our hotel, left all the stuff there, met up with Ana's cousin and took the metro to the centre of Madrid. We walked around the city for hours while Ana's cousin Jose Carlos told us (well mostly me, because Clara and Ana had been there before) about the history and the different buildings. It was really interesting to listen to him. Madrid is a reaaaally beautiful city! I love it :D


^ Jose Carlos and Ana :)

I can't remember the name of this place...... I'll write the names of the places I remember!

Yesterday Anna and I went out. It was such a good night in Magaluf! Almost all the places are open already and it's full of people. I remember a few months ago when we went there it was totally empty. It's so different now :) But yea, yesterday was cool!
Today I went to the beach for a while. It was so hot that I had to go three times to the water to cool down. After a few hours of sunbathing I got headache from the sun... so typical. I should be working on a trabajo where we're supposed to make a photomontage of the crisis over here. To be honest I have no idea of how I'm going to make it so I'll leave it to after the holidays. I also have a trabajo de economía but.. I'll leave that one also to after the holidays since my teacher hasn't sent me the email the contains the information of what my trabajo has to be about. Hehehe, so tomorrow's the last day of school and then my two week vacation starts! Yay!
