Afterwards

      Thinking back and telling all the stories from my trip to my friends, I realize I had such an incredible opportunity and experience. I went with such great people that I did great things with. Whether it was shopping one day for class, or going to see and hear Flamenco at night; it was all so much fun. Truly, the whole trip was so much fun, I really enjoyed every part. The classes in the mornings with the teachers were a delight and not at all boring. I learned about so much that I got to put to practical use. Chris "Poncho," our director, had so many great ideas about what to do; like our trip to Ronda which was definitely my favorite trip. When we went to the town of Ronda, we had all day to explore the city. My friends and I spent part of the day relaxing in the towns great park and taking pictures by the great cliffs, and the other part of the day climbing down to the bottom of the cliffs to check a massive waterfall. I made so many friends from across the country that I have been saying in touch with. I really got close with my roommates, and we loved our host mother Pepi. She was awesome; She had been taking foreign students for 11 years and knew all the ends and outs. Overall, I had a magnificent trip where the worst part was going home.

Getting Home, I have a lot of photos on my camera from my trip. I didn't have a chance to upload while I was there so I wanted to upload all of those now. Enjoy!

SightSeeing

             Today we got to tour the massive cathedral they have in Cadiz. It was breathtaking to see this   building. We got to climb to the top of the bell tower and from there you could see the whole city. It was a pretty awesome group trip.

The last three days

The past three days have been so awesome. On Sunday, we slept in really late and then we woke up and went to the beach with our host family. Then we went to the abbey road olympics that unfortunately got cancelled due to lack of space, but that didn't matter, we had still had a great beach day. We ended up going to one of the plazas and played hacky sack.

Then on Monday, we had our last day of class that was an hour later than normal, so we got to sleep in. During class, we made a guide for future students in the city. It was a lot of fun and then we got to go to a cafe afterwards to share out guides. Right after that my roommate and I went straight to the beach. We spent all of our siestas on the beach, it was awesome. That night we went to hear some really good classical music. I really like the second sonata they played.

Tuesday was probably the best day so far, we went to a water park. It was a great group activity, spending the day riding the rides and playing in the wave pool. We had so much fun hanging out together. We came home and went right to the beach and I'm getting ready for dinner now.

Carnival

We went out to the carnival celebrations the other night with the group. We went to see Flamenco dancing and music live at a restaurant. It was a lot of fun.
