What have I been doing for the past month?

Soo I know I know... I have not been doing my blog every week but I have so much to say now!

Leaving Santander was upsetting. I made so many new friends and I had a magnificent love affair with the beach and Regma. However, my new adventures were about to begin! Me, Lindsay, and Emily Hughes began in Madrid. I loved Madrid. We spent our days hanging out at Parque de Retiro, various art museums, and McDonalds. However, after 2 days we had to say goodbye Emily. It was so sad and we missed her dearly. That night Tyler, Lindsay and I went on a bar crawl with these two belgium girls we met. They tried to teach me French and told us of their love of Gossip Girl. We also met up with some British guys who liked my British accent as we drank Margs and Tequila. So much fun just walking around and getting to know a new city in Spain. Then Lindsay and I met up with Emily Huth and Russ in Barcelona! It was a really early flight but we got to Emily's beautiful hotel without worry. It was just too bad we got there and she had just woken up. :p

Barcelona was a nice city but I honestly like Madrid better. We went to La Sagrada Familia and the Olympic stadium which were both pretty awesome. We also saw this light colored fountain show pretty cool. I think it was here when L,E, and me started telling Russ about the adventures of Mary-Kate and Ashley. Props to Russ. As throughout the rest of the trip we obsessed about how MK&A always would find cute guys on a moped or be amazing good at photography or politics.

We were then off to Paris. We got to our hostel and I go to go out with one of my moms friends from work, Colette. We went to this beautiful restaurant at the top of the modern art museum. Although I have only been to paris for a week and a half of my life, I really felt at home. Watching the beautiful view, while drinking champagne. The best part of Paris. The few days were full of museums and site-seeing. On our 2nd to last day, we decided to go to Versailles. Silly us. Of course there is a strike on the day we were going to Versailles. It was kinda fun though. Did take us 2.5 hours to get to Versailles and when we got there the house was closed but the gardens were amazing. Throughout this trip, my favorite quotes would have to be from Emily. "This is huge" or "Nobody needs this much" basically summed up Versailles. We had a great day but to out disadvantage we walked out of the gardens we found out that the house had been opened 20 minutes after we walked through the garden. FAIL. The next day I was really sick but we got to go to the muse de orsay and wine tasting... Yes I know not the best combo but how cool to wine-taste in France.

Later that day we left for Bruges, we got in late and just went to bed. The next morning, I slept while everyone else got laundry done. Kinda jealous for 2 reasons; 1. We were traveling light and I needed to wash some stuff and 2. Emily found a "lets get mashed" shirt at the laundry-mat. In the afternoon we walked around and got some chocolate. We then preceded to go shopping. (Sorry Russ) Multiple Zaras, Vero Moda (Perfect fall jacket I am still thinking about), Mango, and H&M.. filled our hands and emptied our wallets. We really were just Bruggin it up.

Our next stop was Brussels where we spent an hour looking for the peeing-boy.... He was very small.

We got back on the train and got to Amsterdam. Got to our hotel and saw Venus and Clijsters hitting it up. Proceeded to tell Emily about how exciting tennis was, as she fell asleep.

The next day we went to Anne Frank House.. It was quite an experience. After the museum, we went to walked around. The next few days in Amsterdam were pretty casual. We met up with Nessa a friend of ours from school in Santander and we hung out at the park. Russ and I got to to go the Van Gogh museum which was pretty good. Van Gogh was kinda crazy.

After Amsterdam we got to Milan. Milan was really nice. We all loved the food and we got to meet up with some friends from school. We went out one night to some night-club which was fun. We also got to go inside the Duomo!

After Milan we got to Rome. Rome was so much fun. We walked around the first day and saw all the sites. We also got to eat pizza, pasta and gelato.... Heaven. I also got to meet up with Diane which was so fun! First impression of her was, "hi mom its nice to see you, lets go to bed." But no, she got be out of bed and told me we were going to get drinks. Two wines and a good conversation later, we were in bed at the beautiful hotel. We woke up the next morning and walked around, had lunch in the piazza narvona. Then, we met up with ERL and went to the Borghese museum. Pretty cool. Dinner then bed. The next day mom left and ERL and I went to the Jewish quarter and the colosseum. It ended up raining while we were at the colosseum but we had so much fun. It was a grand adventure and although we fought and got frustrated... I am so sad that its over.

I am now in Sevilla but I cannot possibly write anymore. Hope everyone is doing well! I love Sevilla thus far.
