MY LAST POST

I am sad to say that my trip is coming to an end.  I have learned so much about myself, life, and teaching.  Of course, I didn't realize how busy I would be, which is why this blog didn't quite work out how I planned.  This is inevitably my last post.  I will do a quick review of everything I have done since my last post, which is actually quite a lot! However, I am not putting the pictures in any chronological order.  I hope you enjoy the pictures as much as I have enjoyed my time here, in Europe.

Here are some pictures from my trip to Madrid, Spain.

This is the symbol of Madrid:  The Bear and the Strawberry Tree.

Plaza de Torros (where they have bull fights)
mmmm...Hot Chocolate... Notice how the spoon floats on top, its that thick.

It rained three times that day!  It was so funny seeing them take everything down on the court and covering it up with the tarp three times!
