I am so blessed to have had the chance to see so many places in such a short amount of time. And I still have one trip left!
Here's what I've been up to this week:
We had to say good-bye to Marlene! She left on Friday to stay with her mom in Galicia and we were going to be gone before she came back. I already miss her so much. We had a great time with her out in Madrid!
On Saturday I had lunch with Juan, Anna, Luis, and their parents. I feel so welcome in their home. They are so excited to be living in Maryland this summer and I hope that they enjoy their time in the US just as much as I have enjoyed my time in Spain! I sadly only have two more classes left with them.
After lunch with the family, Luis took me for a tour around Madrid! (Juan and Anna weren't old enough to come with.) He was a great tour guide and such a fun friend (He turns 11 tomorrow!) He even took me to Starbuck's and got me a special coffee because "All Americans like iced coffee." Very true, Luis.
On Saturday night Liz, Marvin, and I went to a famous sangria bar called Sesamo's, supposedly the very best in Madrid, and reminisced about all the fun that we have had this semester.
On Monday after my Linguistics final, Liz and I met up with Kenzie, Anna, and Liz W and went to get tapas in Plaza Santa Ana. After tapas, Liz and I stopped at San Gines to split some churros. I am so sad that I won't be able to be with all of these wonderful people in just one week!
Many people will be leaving for the US tomorrow, but I will be roaming around Madrid for the next four days before I head to the Canary Islands! If you want something from Madrid, now is the time to let me know people.
