Castle of love

Well Emily and I are currently in the Castle of love, as my blog so clearly states. We had an idea of what to expect upon our arrival here but everything about to night has been not only hilarious but has not gone according to plan. When we pulled up we saw no sign of anyone. We kept running into the same staff over and over again which was only about 4 people in total. I kind of feel like I'm in a Boxcar Children book. I should be finding some secret passageway sometime soon.. always love a good mystery. Anyways, our room is so cool! I have to duck no matter where I go as to not knock my head off (castles in Spain aren't tall-people friendly.) But we have to pretty big beads pushed together again. I still haven't figured out why they do that, I guess it's a European thing.

The receptionist asked us when we checked in what time we wanted to eat dinner. We thought it was kind of strange that

their wasn't set times, so we just said 9:00 and moved on. Well, now we know why. After exploring a bit, we ventured down the dungeon type hallway to dinner. We walked in and there were many tables set but no one was in their except a couple of waiters. Emily asked how many people were staying at the hotel and he said 5. HAHA. So we are staying in a castle... with 5 other people. Sounds so sketchy, BUT they were really nice and we should be slightly ashamed of ourselves for laughing so much through our awkward dinner. We had very nice waiters, but a very interesting meal. First of all, they brought out this weird slimy thing. We asked what it was but they only thing we understood was animal from the sea and peppers so we passed on that. Emily ordered gazpacho and I ordered a salad with motzerella and tomatoes. can't go wrong with that right? wrong. Emily's soup was tolerable with some random surprises in it, like shrimp, apples and a small glob of cheese. My salad was really, really green and spinachy, with a tennis ball size of cheese glob and some tomato slivers somewhere in their. We were cracking up. Then we got a cylinder of chocolate textures for dessert. Very, very tasty and interesting... oh and small. They laughed, and we laughed. Top 5 funniest nights of my life.

the lovely place we had dinner all by ourselves

would you like a glob of cheese?

Now we are just facebooking with the free WIFI outside on the terrace underneath this gorgeous starry sky. No big deal right?

Oh, so the picture at the top. Yes, well that's the door to our room... I have to duck my head big time! Don't forget to check out the cool key in my hand.

CASTLE!

Emily in one of the random rooms... we think this is a dinning room or something

A little taste of what we walk up to get to our room

Swimming pool :)

Here's the thing, we haven't seen a bathtub in a really long time.

I couldn't help myself.
