Last Day in Spain

Today is my last day in Spain before I head back to the United States. I will be taking a night bus to Madrid and then flying from Madrid to Philly, then Philly to Seattle. My sister is picking me up from the airport around 9:30 PM Pacific Time on the 8th and taking me to my car and then I'll make the 1.5 hour drive up to Seattle. Hopefully my car starts and I remember how to drive, it has been a while. 

The past year has been incredible. I can't begin to describe how memorable the time I spent in Spain was. This blog was my attempt to capture my time here and all the amazing stuff I did. I don't know where to begin, but all in all the time here was a 100% success. I met some amazing people and made friends that I know I stay in contact with. From traveling to teaching every single moment I had was unforgettable. I want to thank my parents for everything they did to help me out over the year and my coworkers at the school. Without them this time would have been a lot more challenging and they made sure everything went smoothly for me. 

Below are some of my favorite photos from the past year (in no particular order). I will never forget my time here in Seville. NO8DO for sure.
