not to bad

The day turned out pretty nice. It stopped raining but warmed up to like 70, still cloudy.
Hiked up a small mountain today that had an old barracks on top. Dates back to the 12th century. Honestly pretty cool. There was a museo on top that had videos and what not about the barracks. The coolest part would have to be the 50 foot statue of Jesus on top. I am not really religious, but this thing is wow. I was able to walk right up to it and the view of the city on top of the hill was very nice, would have been better with a sunny view, but never'the'less.
Tomorrow I eat at three star restaurant that I have to take a bus too. The name of the joint is Martin Berasategui, named after the chef-owner.

The main negative that I have noticed about Europe is the smoking. EVERYONE smokes, I actually stop (for the 10 time I know) just a few days before I left. I have slipped up once, but I was pretty drunk and I know no excuse. Other than that, the experience is making me really dislike it. Before I had just thought oh well. I was used to it, but when you wake up a week after not having a smoke and feel as though you´ve had a pack, it really makes you not want to smoke. I realize that was a huge run on sentence, but I am tired and the book will have someone proof read it.
