Life has been crazy for the past few weeks. Sarah and I enjoyed our spring break in Spain and Portugal. We began our adventures in Barcelona with Sarah's roommate Alli. We rented bikes to explore the city, went to the beach, spent a night on the town, and enjoyed some good spanish tapas. Next we went to Granada (where Alli had studied abroad). Here we enjoyed visiting Alhambra (spent 5 hours there), shopping and flamenco dancing! From here Alli left us to go home but we went on to Lisbon. Since there were no cheap flights/trains/anything from Granada to Lisbon, we decided to do an "overnight" flight to save on a hotel. This flight was an hour to Barcelona where we had a 9 hour layover before we could go on to Lisbon :) So we found a quiet corner restaurant in the airport and slept in the booths! Surprisingly we got a good 5/6 house of decent sleep. The only real interruption was the woman who came to clean at 2am. Once we arrived in Lisbon we hit the ground running....saw the sights...drank Starbucks...napped in a park...it was quite a day. Our last day was spent in Sintra (40 minute train ride outside Lisbon). Here we went on a Castle tour. Why so many castles were in one small area was beyond me but it was very cool to see.
Then back to reality...but only for 4 days! This weekend I went to Britain to visit Hannah while my mom was there!!! We had our first "Girl's weekend" (minus Lydia and Maria). My dad made it pretty clear that we weren't to get used to this ;) Hannah and I decided we just had to start planting seeds in Lydia and Maria's heads to study abroad so we can do it again...sorry Dad! It was wonderful to see York (where Hannah is studying) and London too. We had an amazing weekend!
AND the fun isn't over yet! Hannah is coming back to Casablanca with me for a week!!! I am so excited to show her my world.
I truly am blessed...
