Home, home on the range.

That's right. I am home. They left my backpack in London but that's okay...BECAUSE I'M HOME! I was soo happy to see Chris and my Dad and Denis even let me give him a hug and I got Taco Loco because that was all that was open but it was soo good! Oh god...I missed home so much!

I didn't really intend for this trip to turn into a life-changing experience, but it kinda did. The best way to describe how I feel is that my soul has grown.

It is about 815 a.m. here at home. I was awake at 7. My body is telling me right now that it is 5 in the afternoon. But that's okay. I got about 6 hours of really great sleep so I am just going to try to stick it out for the day to get back on schedule.

Adios to you, blog. I hope you all enjoyed reading.

woooo-eee!

Coming home tomorrow crazies...you best watch yo´sef!

Dont ever do this.

I was on the train coming back from Segovia and I saw the worst haircut ever. It was this guy with what looked to be a normal haircut, but in the back he had the most disgusting, 2 foot long, dread-locked rat tail. So terrible.

Today i was walking around and my foot started to hurt really, really bad. I hope it feels better tomorrow. It is hard to walk right now. I have to hobble.

Madrid is pretty awesome.

So I am now in my third day in Madrid. Yesterday I went for a day trip to Segovia, which was pretty fun. There was a castle there, and a roman aquaduct, and a cool cathedral. The people here at the hostel are really nice so I have a bunch of people to hang out with. Today I think I am going to try to see a museum or two, walk around the big park here, Retiro and then tomorrow I meet up with a friend from high school who I saw in Athens...crazy huh?

Alright. Can´t wait to get home...much love.

woopsie daisies!

So I totally missed my train to Seville by like 5 minutes and am now instead in Madrid. I am just going to stay in Madrid and relax...which is actually a lot better sounding than running around Seville like a crazy woman! So...here I am to stay until Sunday when I come back home!!! Today is going to be full of doing laundry and relaxing and exploring the surrounding area. Don´t think I am going to try anything too ambitious today. Last night on the train wasn´t bad, actually. Fairly comfortable. Alright. Just updating. Can´t wait to come home!! Much love.

Spending way too much money!

That´s right. I am buying too much stuff. Oh well...I couldn´t pass it up...you know how it is!

I had a lot of fun walking around Barcelona today but now I am very tired and am relaxing before I have to get on the overnight train to Sevilla tonight.

I walked down Las Ramblas and went to the Musee Picasso, which was really cool, and then walked all over the Barri Gotic region and...of course, bought stuff. Oops.

Alright. Just wanted to post an update while I have some free internet.

Buenos tardes!

Hey everyone! I am now in Barcelona! Barcelona is really beautiful. This morning after I got in I went up to the Guell Gardens and got to see the amazing Gaudi designs (they are the things that look like they came straight out of a Dr. Seuss book...). I got to just stroll the gardens which was really relaxing.

There´s a startbucks right around the corner from my hostel...I am so terrible.

Spain is actually a lot of fun because I can actually communicate a lot of things to the people here. 4 years of spanish are finally coming in handy! Although my spanish is still muy malo.

For the rest of today I think I am just going to stroll Las Ramblas and enjoy the markets before it gets dark because apparently it is quite sketchy at night. Tomorrow is La Sangrada Familia. I think there was a museum I wanted to go to as well. And then...off to Seville on another night train!

Alright. I love you all. I am in the home stretch of my trip and while I am having the time of my life...I really can´t wait to get back and see everyone. I am such a homebody!

Hey everybody! How are all of you?

Today Mom and I went to the Musee d'Orsay and it was really, really cool. I could have just stared at all the amazing art for hours on end... So coool!

Then we walked around and we went down this street that had just about every kind of food in the world there...it was pretty interesting.

Yesterday we checked out the Louvre...which was just overwhelming...we went through almost all of it but by the end we were totally burnt out.

And then after the Louvre we got some food and then headed over the Eiffel Tower when it was dark...when we first started walking up to it it was sparkling! We didn't go up...we just stared at it for a long time.

Tomorrow I head over to Barcelona and Mom leaves me...so wish me luck!
