Day 6, a New Friend.

Hello readers, this is day 6 of my Spooner In Spain blog! Today started with my dad waking me up. We packed our bags, headed downstairs, had some breakfast, and headed in the rental car, and drove about 2 hours to El Beetel, or something like that. I'm not exactly sure how to spell it. On the way, we stopped at the town where "The Running Of The Bulls" takes place. We bought some sweet treats at a local sweets store. They were delicious, even though we didn't finish them. ;-) A little later we piled back in the car and drove to the hotel that I'm in now. I read my book in the way there. Once we got there, we checked out our rooms, changed out clothes, and walked over to a little part of the hotel that serves food and drinks. We had our fill of measballs, noodles, and a couple of cheese things that were really good. After that, we decided to go to the hotel pool, but I wanted to use the gym that was, coincidentally, right next to the pool! I worked our for about 45 minutes total, but once or twice i popped in the pool room to check up on my dad and Miss, the first time i popped in there was a kid swimmimg in pool that was 11. I walked up to him and said, "Hola, abla Ingleso?" which meens, "Hello, do you speek English?" he responded that he spoke English, but that he had to leave to go on a wine tour with his parrents. I said bye! And went back to the gym. After 10 or 15 minutes, I hopped into the pool for 5 or 6 minutes to cool down. We walked back to our rooms and changed to go on a wine tour ourselves! We walked over to the place where we started the tour, the kid was there, too! I walked up to him and introduced myself. He said that his name was Cole, he was from Los Angelos, that he was in Spain for a few weeks before today, and that he was staying for a few more weeks. We went on the tour together, all 6 of us: Dad, Miss, Cole, Cole's mom and dad, and myself. We went to the room where they squish the grapes, the room where they store special wine that is to be opened only on very special occasions, and a few more exciting rooms! At the end of the tour there was tasting! Cole and I were both served almost alcohol free grape juice first, then stepped it up a level. White wine! It was bitter the first few sips, but as I had more, it was pretty good! I actually tried some red wine, but neither Cole or I reallyliked it that much. Then I had some more of the regular grape juice to clear my tastebuds. Cole and I decided that we could meet at the pool and hang out for a while and play. So we both headed to our room, which were down the same hallway, and got our bathing suites on. Dad told me that after we finished swimming, we could use my room key to get into the room and order room service! I was cool with that and Cole was too when I told him. Once we got to the pool, we shot each other with squirt guns that he had brought, then just swam for a while. We also used the handicap lift to go in and out of the water, which was pretty fun. :-) After a while though, it was time to go back to the room. We looked at the menu for a minute or two in Cole's room, decided what we wanted to order, then Cole's mom ordered the food and had it delivered to my room while we were watching a movie. The food came not a moment too soon. We ate our noodles and our meatballs, which Cole loved so much, that when we ordered our dessert, we got a second order, just for him! It was fun. Then his mom came to tell us that we had about 15 to 20 minutes left before Cole had to go back to his room. Man I went by fast because I downloaded "Words With Friends" for him on his iPod touch. It's basically Scrabble but you can play with people across the globe or across town, and no, that's not their slogan. His mom picked him up after a while and I walked down to Miss's room, knocked on the door, Dad and I walked down to our room, we got in bed and now he's asleep and I'm finishing up this blog post. My next post will be up tomorrow, until then, this is Spooner In Spain!!!
