Okay so I haven't posted anything in awhile, what can I say I finally had to do some homework (you know I am going to school, I am not just here on a vacation). Lets see what do I need to catch you up on? Well besides busting my butt working on a paper and a presentation for a week or so I pretty much got mugged, literally had my wallet stolen and than used as a weapon against me (although the weapon part may have been provoked). Here is how it went: I was working at school when I decided to grab a coffee with friends (I never drink coffee so I am not sure why I needed one), instead of lugging my entire back back I just grabbed my wallet in hand and headed down the street to a coffee place less than two minutes away. It was at this time that we were approached by some vagrant looking for a light for his cigarette, needless to say he was none too please when we told him twice we didn't have one. Than he decided to get in my face and aggressively request I give him a light, too bad I don't smoke. Anyways the guy gave me a really bad feeling and definitely creeped me out, we continued to walk and I tried to think nothing of it even though my gut was telling me to turn back and make sure he wasn't behind us. So the just of the story is that this skid (druggie, vagrant, bum, whatever) ran up behind me and snatched my wallet right from my hand. But wait it gets better because naturally my instinct brought out the urge in me to chase after him (against my better judgement). I caught up with him pretty quick and got a hold of his hood when my sense was knocked back into me by the impact of my own wallet against the side of my face. Obviously I figured out pretty quick that maybe it was better to lose a bit of money and to go through the hassle of ordering new credit cards than to wind up hurt. The only hurt I was feeling was to my own ego and the stupid decision I made to carry my wallet in my hand, so remember that fact the next time you are travelling, apparently purses are made for a reason. 
Luckily this unfortunate incident occurred the very day of my mothers arrival. I know for a fact that if you ask my mom about the incident she will fill you in on her theory of how it was a setup and I actually paid the guy to take it, an intentional coincidence. Realistically it couldn't have had better timing I have been able to do a lot of shopping with someone elses money, okay so that is half true but it has really been a life saver I don't know what I would have done otherwise. As for how I have been spending my time, for the past week my mom and I partook in a "wonderful" tour of Spain (only my mother will relate to the partial sarcasm). The tour proved that Spain like anywhere else is full of beautiful sites, dingy hotels and disgusting buffets. I have since come to the conclusion I will never go on a Trafalgar Tour ever again, or at least not until I have surpassed the tended age of 65. I could go into much detail surrounding the negative aspects of the tour such as boiled hot dogs for breakfast, gas station meals and hourly motels (okay that might be an exaggeration) but instead I will try to share of some the amazing things I have seen and experienced over the past week.
