Hola Mis Amigos....From Spain! Ole!!!

Hope everyone had a fantastic New Years! I heard about the crazy weather in Denver and hope you are all staying warm and dry! I´m enjoying Spain and I just traveled from Barcelona to Sevilla by train last night! Train travel is quite an adventure especially when you are sharing a room with your family and you have to get off the train within 5 minutes, but have 8 pieces of luggage to get off the train!! We all made it off the train in one piece!

When I think of Spain, I think of bullfighting....castles...siestas....tapas...sangria (me gusta sangria mucho!!!)...Gaudi...amazing architecture....flamenco...all wrapped up into one amazing package....I love the Spanish culture!!!! I saw some awesome sights in Barcelona including La Ramblas, The Gothic Quarter, Gaudi´s Casa Batllo, Gaudi´s Park Guell, the Diagonal Avenue, a boisterous flamenco performance, La Pedrera, Tibidabo (a view of all of Spain from the top), and the grand La Sagrada Familia (I even went to the top)...Today we reached Sevilla and I got a chance to see the palace, Alcanzar, and rome through the streets of Sevilla....I saw a fun and festive musical performance today in one of the many plazas located throughout Sevilla! Tomorrow, I´m planning on going to Granada, then Cordoba...Afterwards I head back to France and then back to Denver!!! One of the best trips I have ever been on in my 25 years (woohoo it´s my b-day in 2 days and I turn 25)!!!!! 2 entirely separate continents and the sights have been out of this world ranging from the temples of India to the churches and palaces of Europe! It´s been one hell of a ride!!!!

I hope you are all doing well and I can´t wait to see you all!
