One more day...

Tomorrow is our last full day in Sevilla..... its actually mind blowing. I'm sure everyone is feeling the same way, but I just cannot believe that 4 weeks have gone by so quickly. This trip has been indescribably amazing, I have seen so much and made so many new friends, and I can't believe it's almost over. The fact that we were given the opportunity to become completely immersed in a new culture, school and family was a little scary at first, but wound up being one of the most incredible experiences I have ever had. Sevilla itself is a great city, and I have absolutely loved seeing and learning about the different culture. It has really opened my eyes to just how much there is to see in other cultures, and I hope I can come back to Spain soon. My host family also has been amazing. They have been so kind to me, and completely opened their home and lives to me, making me feel comfortable and accepted into their family from day 1. I am very sad to be leaving Sevilla, but its been a wonderful experience and I am very excited to see Madrid.

On Sunday my family took me to a beach thats an hour outside of Seville to do some sightseeing. The weather was perfect and it was so relaxing to sit in the sun near the ocean. I had to inform Julie that unfortunately there are no beaches in Colorado, and also unfortunately, if you drive for 1 hour you are still in a very similar part of the state. Ah well, its all the more reason to return to Spain! I'm looking forward to a great rest of the week in Madrid! - Leah
