Happy November!!

Hi all,
Happy November! The air is getting slightly colder and the semester is picking up, as finals will be here before I know it. I have three papers due at the end of the semester, so the next few weeks will be dedicated to getting those under my belt, and not much else. I don't have much to update since my last post - just exploring the city more and more, spending way too much money at El Rastro every Sunday, and constantly hunting for book stores with English books (don't worry, I've found three already!)

November also means that I am coming home NEXT month, which I am so excited for. I do love it here and I think second semester will bring new and different adventures for me, but I can't wait for my month at home to be with my family and friends. My parents have put up with so much from me being here - constantly nagging them to talk to me, and putting up with my constant mood swings. I appreciate it sooo much and can't wait to see them next month! I have two more trips planned to Portugal and Ireland before I leave for home, so I really need to focus on school work now so I can play in a few weekends. : )

For now, here are a few pictures floating around from various events...

Enjoy! See you SOON!




Dressed up as the Spice Girls for Halloween!!



Zoomed in on the players during the Real Madrid game.



View from our nose bleed seats - but what an AMAZING experience!



Estadio Santiago Bernabeu - I live down the street from here!



The castle we saw on our hike.



Posing in front of the castle!



In town there were HUGE ostrich nests on top of the tallest buildings.



Pretty fountain in a little old town.



View from the hike - incredible.
