Hola! I am sad to say that this is our last Sunday in Spain. While our schedules are busy from Monday-Friday, it has been very nice to have the weekends to recharge. This weekend has been especially relaxing and I am grateful to be able to share it with you all.

We started out the day by going out to breakfast. At 10:00, Olivia and I went to a bakery that has been very popular within people from our program. I had not gone yet, so I was very excited to go. All of the furniture in the bakery had different shades of beautiful pastels, and the display containers had many different delicious-looking pastries. I decided on a bacon egg and cheese, while Olivia chose a(much more visually appealing) crepe with Nutella and strawberries. My breakfast came out to a total of three euros, which was a great deal!

After breakfast, Olivia and I walked back to El Colegio Mayor to get ready to go to the beach. On our way, we stopped to get some food for lunch. I got tomatoes, jamon iberico, and bread to make into a sandwich. During my time here, my favorite food by far has been the jamon iberico. I also have really been enjoying the grocery prices, considering they are much cheaper here than in the United States!

Olivia and I headed to the beach using the bus with our university-provided bus passes. When we got off at our stop, We went to a nearby store to buy some boogeyboards. Unfortunately, the waves at the beach were very disappointing and we did not catch many waves. Despite this, we still had a great time. We spent hours swimming around and talking about whatever came to out minds.

After the beach. Me, Jack, Jeremiah, Olivia, Grae, and Jordan went out to dinner at a delicious Italian restaurant. We ate different kinds of pizza and pasta and had great conversations. After our dinner, we somehow ended up at an American-themed bar, which was really fun!!

I have been so grateful for my time here and I am sad to leave. I have learned so much about the culture and language here and I know it will be difficult to go back to the states. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed hearing about my day!
