Brace yourselves...

My Carnaval post is going to be humongous.

I'm sorry I haven't gotten it up here yet, but there's so much to write!  I've written a page and a half so far, and that only takes us up to where we arrived in Cádiz... (don't worry, I'm going to edit it for here.  I'm just working on an exhaustive account for myself because I don't want to forget anything).

So, unfortunately (family, I imagine I'm just talking to you), you'll probably have to wait another day for that :-/

But in the meantime I can show you/tell you about the little things that have happened since I've been back in Lugo!  There's not a lot, but the past 2 days have been absolutely gorgeoussss here.  Like, sunshine-y, walk-around-with-only-a sweater-and-no-coat-on gorgeous.  It's really helped me hold onto the good mood leftover from my trip.  I've spent a lot of time walking around outside and taking pictures because of this:

See?? Beautiful!

Postcard-like view of the city from up on the wall.

Julia & I heard and then saw goats while walking home from the grocery store yesterday... In the city...

LOOK HOW PRETTY THIS IS.

Buds on the trees already ^_^

These little flowers just cover the grass right now.

Como aquí.  All those white dots are flowers.

I love how sunshine looks on water <3

Also happy things: Valentine's Day was 2 days ago, and Wednesday night when I got home from Cádiz, there was a package from Duane waiting and also a card from Nanny & Grampy; the next day another card arrived and I got a couple emails :D.  Thank you so much, guys.  You make me feel loved even though I'm so far away from you <3  (And for those of you wondering, Duane did excellently... chocolates, peanut butter, a lovely card, & two beautiful new charms for my bracelet :D)  And speaking of mailing things, Duane's birthday was 4 days ago, and the package I sent arrived safely the day before his birthday-- whoo!  I was a little worried since the Spanish correos website stopped telling me where it was after it left the country.  I'd like to think I succeeded in surprising him ;)

The clouds stopped the sunset from being spectacular tonight... I'm positive it was breath-taking behind those freaking nubes.  They also (mostly) prevented a friend & I from seeing the asteroid last night... Gahh, Galicia.

OK.  Tomorrow.  Tomorrow I will get my Carnaval adventures up here.  Hopefully you guys find them as awesome/interesting as I did jeje.
