This one makes no sense to me. It is obviously George Bush but it says, ¨Less in him and more faith in yourself,¨ which I don´t quite understand. Do people in Spain think that everyone just blindly follows Bush? That people think he is the greatest president ever and nobody ever protests him? I´m not quite sure. It just entertained me, but I have absolutely no political leanings, which probably would have made it funnier.
More funny grafitti. It says, ¨I am a FREE bird!¨
This was in an old cathedral that was basically trying to rob me. There were about ten different donation boxes and if they can´t get your money that way, they´ll make you pay if you want to climb their tower and take pictures of the city. They had this really old piece of art there that you can only see by donating a Euro. Its all automated, so when you insert the coin, a curtain will lift and the piece spins on a dias. The whole thing was so comical to me. This sign was the best part, though. It was sitting in front of a statue of the Virgen Mary that they parade around during their holy week. It basically says, ¨We beg a donation for the procession. If you have nothing, give nothing. A little, give a little. If a lot, a lot. Only God, the Sainted Virgen, and you will know it.¨ Talk about a guilt trip!
Portuguese political grafitti. It says ¨Death to Capitalism.¨

I didn´t know Scientology was a global religion! This is the Scientologist headquarters in Madrid. Maybe Tom Cruazy will visit while we´re here.
Streets here are really narrow and cramped so all the cars are very small. Nobody has trucks or suvs or anything. But some people take small to the extreme. They drive these tiny little ridiculous clown cars and get really annoyed at us when we try to take pictures of them, so we wait until we find them parked on the street. I would´ve laid down to see if I was longer than the car, but I just couldn´t get that dirty.
This was taken in a restaurante where we ate in Sevilla. We all felt very European to be eating dinner in an outdoor cafe overlooking a castle and a river. The picture really doesn´t do it justice.
This was photographed on a trip to California. Just kidding, this is spray painting on a fence about twenty feet from the chapel where we go to church. People here apparently really like 50 cent because I see his name tagged everywhere. Grafitti is a pretty big problem here. My favorite is on the bus route to school. It says, in English by the way, ¨Welcome to Curtis Town.¨ It cracks me up every time.
So one day we took a different bus to school than usual and we made a new friend. Sort of. We were speaking Spanish to blend in a little better, but we apparently were doing a terrible job. The girl across the aisle from us was staring/glaring at us so blatantly that we could tell we stuck out pretty badly. She would not stop looking at us, which we found completely hilarious, so we started giggling uncontrollably and speaking in English so she wouldn´t understand, which only made her stare more. The bus ride was about twenty minutes long, and she looked at us so often that we managed to get photos and videos of her. She started smiling towards the end, but we still took the other bus from then on. I guess we should be used to it by now though, we get stared/yelled/whistled at pretty much every day because Spanish men apparently think that is an effective method for picking up women. At least she wasn´t honking and yelling out a car window.
Whoooooo! The Europeans are pretty excited about ketchup! Actually we were too because they usually don´t have very good ketchup, or very good food for that matter, so we´re always very happy to eat something familiar.
I kind of got bored of taking pictures of old buildings and paintings, so I had some fun when I went to Portugal. This is in front of a really old castle. I decided to see if I could blend in to the decorations.
