Hola!!!!

Spain is still amazing. I feel as though I fall in love with the country more and more every day I am here. This month I actually decided to stay in Spain for a whole year and not just a semester.

Before I came to Spain professors were saying that I would probably love Spain and that I would want to stay for a year, but I doubted them. However, it's so exciting being in a different country and experiencing new things for the first time is very fun.

This week was a national holiday for Spain and all of the people around Spain had Friday off. Well on Friday since it was a national holiday the King and Queen of Spain came to Madrid and there was a parade and tons and tons of people around. I haven't ever seen a parade as exciting and emotionally moving as the one I saw in Spain. The King and Queen drove by all of the people in streets and then every division of the army marched in the streets. It was really amazing.

Teachers here in Spain and others said that it would be best to watch the parade on the T.V. however, how many times will I ever see the King and Queen of Spain or see a parade of this magnitude again? If you are studying abroad do EVERYTHING, chances are you will never do any of this again, so do it now. Its a chance of a lifetime.

During the next few weeks me and some friends are going to traveling to Ireland, France, and Italy. If you're studying abroad I definitely suggest you traveling over Europe it's cheap and you might as well since you're in Europe.

Adios!
