Saying goodbyes

I've noticed how horrible I've been at blogging. I'm sorry, but I've been having too much fun!

Right now I'm sitting alone in my room in Alcala. Finals are over, we've "graduated", we've said our goodbye's and my roommate has left!

I remember how new and exciting and nerve-racking everything was when I first arrived. I spoke terrible spanish! I didn't know the group! I knew so little about Spain! Three months seemed like FOREVER! And now I realize  how quickly time flies and how sad it is to say goodbyes. We've passed some awesome months here. We've seen more of Spain than even some Spaniards that we met.  We're fluent in a different language. We have a better global perspective. We've learned about ourselves. We made lifelong friends.



I can't think of a better way to have spent the last three months.


Paraiso en el sol!

Well, classes are over! And we had a few extra days to spend traveling around Spain. Guess where we chose to visit? The Canary Islands of course! We needed sun after the cold of Madrid!

We spent five days in the beautiful island of Tenerife. We had an average temperature of about 75 degrees with plenty of beach time ;)




I got burned-of course! But enjoyed every minute of it.


It was an island paradise that now seems only like a dream. A wonderful way to end an amazing semester!
