Madrid-- It's been Real

I'm so thankful for such a wonderful semester here in Madrid.  After visiting 5 countries and 18 cities this time around.... I'd say I got a pretty good start on my Euro-travels.  Oh yea, and my Spanish has improved 10-fold.  My final weekend included plenty of farewell fiestas and cheering on hometown hero Kyle Singler who is now playing basketball for Real Madrid-- what a treat!


Madrid is so pretty at Christmas time.  There are Christmas lights absolutely everywhere!  

Here is a pic of a few good friends and me at our farewell party. 

A great trip overall- I can't wait to come back one day.  That said, 23 straight hours of travel tomorrow (if all goes according to plan) will be well worth the welcome home.  I can't wait to eat a salad that is not transformed into a soup with oil! 


Un abrazo muy fuerte y besos para todas!
