Unpaused

 The Magic Fountain show in Barcelona, Spain

Rather than kick myself for again neglecting my blog, I will begin the massive backed up update...so until further notice, all of my posts will be playing catch up.

Spring Break was spent in Spain and Portugal. A few of us left Paris early and ended up missing the chaos the Icelandic volcano caused (for a time, it caught up to us in Bacelona). The only bump in our road was missing Madrid, so itinerary looked like this: Paris --> Barcelona --> Granada --> Seville --> Lisbon --> Paris.

We ended up spending about 5 days in Barcelona, which when you think about it, wasn't so bad. Actually, it was rather funny thinking how people were complaining of being stranded in some European city they hadn't planned on being in, we were still in Europe, having the time of our lives. So we missed Madrid, it'll be there for a while. Sipping Sangria on the Barcelona beach for another couple of days was an alright alternative.

Not ready to back down

Homeward bound. Unbelievable.

Full update to come in the next week, once the reverse culture shock wears off I'm sure.

The Geometricist

I have become a geometricist. That may not be a word, but it perfectly desrcibes a running theme through my photos from my trips abroad this semester.

I am way backed up in posting photos, we were in Ireland over a month ago.

Going to Dublin was top on my list of cities to visit. I admit I have daydreamed a few times of finding my Irish husband...not to worry, Dad, that didn't happen. But I will be back, maybe more successful next time.
