Hey Guys!


Today is officially my last full day in Toledo.....I am feeling a range of emotions!! I am happy and excited to go home to see my family and my friends, but I am a little sad that I am leaving everything here! Tomorrow will definitely be an awkward day leaving my family for the last time.....


I brought all my luggage to school today (with the help of Jake and Taylor). I will definitely be the first one to say that I packed way tooooooooo many things to come here :) All of my luggage was a little unnecessary!!! I leave for Lisbon tomorrow afternoon. I will be heading to Madrid around noon for my 4 o'clock flight. We will be spending 4 days in Lisbon. On Wednesday I will begin to make the dreaded return back to Toledo to get my luggage and then to Madrid to spend the night.....I am still trying to figure out how I will be able to get ALL OF MY LUGGAGE from the bus station in Madrid to my hotel.....Any ideas?!?! I want to stay away from the Metro....I have enough horror stories from that already!!! I'm definitely thinking a taxi and the money will be WELL SPENT :)


I got back from my Semana Santa Adventure this past Tuesday. After Cadíz we went to Granada. I loved Granada (even thought it rained every day)! Brittany and I spent all of Saturday with our intercambio, Estrella and her family. We walked around the city, get lunch, had some tea, and some drinks. They are so amazing!! I am REALLY going to miss them!!!


After Granada we spent a day and a half in Malaga....It stopped raining long enough that I got in a few hours at the beach...THANK GOODNESS!!!! We took the train back from Malaga to Madrid. When I got home, I had my last English lesson with Gabriel. He was sad that I was leaving so that made it hard!!! After my English class I had my graduation ceremony....I passed all of my classes :) 


On Wednesday, Brittany and I went to school with Nerea (Estrella's daughter). We went to Nerea's English class and another English class....I think this solidified my reasonings for not wanting to be a teacher!!! I forgot how chatty third graders are :) After school, we went to have lunch at their house for the last time...It was really sad saying goodbye to them :( Hopefully we can all stay in contact!!!


Yesterday was spent packing all of my luggage up....My room looks empty and sad now!!! I basically threw everything in my suitcases because I will have to re-pack when I get to the hotel on Wednesday night....It was difficult packing for Lisbon and to come home!! I definitely only have the necessities going to Lisbon with me!!!


Today I watched the Royal Wedding!! It just wasn't the same with Spanish translations talking over everything else!!!!


I am on my way to Enebros for on last night of Tapas!! It just won't be the same drinking in Green Bay!!!


I miss everyone tons and I will see everyone soooooo soon!!! I will try to update and let everyone know how Lisbon is going :)


Besos y Abrazos!!!
