Luke and I at St. Andrews
So, since I should be writing a paper now :( I have decided instead to update my blog! I haven't updated it in so long and have been to so many new places since I last posted. In early March my class and I went on a school trip for the week to Scotland. We visisted Edinburgh and Glasgow. Scotland is definitely one of my favorite countries so far. It was so nice to see so much green and so many hills! Copenhagen is so flat so it was nice to see a little contrast. I also went to St. Andrews University to visit my dear friend Luke who has been attending the university since freshman year. Also a little royal wedding fact for you, St. Andrews is where Kate Middleton and Prince William met. They have given the school so much publicity which is funny.
Soon after I got back from Scotland, Andrea, my best friend from Scripps, came and visited me and then I visited her the next weekend in Berlin. It was so nice to have her get a view of my life and then see hers in Germany. I had never been to Germany before so it was pretty cool to see how my neighbors live :) Berlin was too cool because the history and the heartache that the city experienced still feels so fresh and present. The first time I have ever seen history so alive.
Well... then I just had my spring break which was incredible. My two friends from DIS and I visited London, Madrid, and Lisbon. We wanted to keep our traveling pretty light (in comparison to my last tour) so that we could just relax and have an amazing time. London-best food ever! Not the pub food but they had so many incredible markets with fresh veggies, cheese, and anything you could ever want! Madrid-definitely better than my last trip to Barcelona. We were right in the center of town so we were really a part of the action. We went to a local bar where they had a buffet for free (but you had to buy drinks) so we definitely lived the Spanish lifestyle while we were there. Lisbon-incredible! The Portuguese people were so kind and almost everyone spoke English. We stayed at an unreal hostel and lounged on the beach and rode bikes. I definitely got sunburnt too but I had to suck up the sun while I could! I still need to upload pictures from the trip so I will definitely put up more later.
Hope all is well at home!
Much love
