Madrid, Spain

I don't have a ton of pictures from Madrid because most of the sights we saw were in Art Museums that you can't take pictures of... but I met up with my friend from DPU Beth Beulher and we hung out and drank Sangria together! It was a great time!

Lisbon, Portugal

Our first stop on our whirl wind two week tour of southern Europe was Lisbon Portugal. I would recommend this place in a heart beat, and I would love to go back and explore Portugal more in the future if I get the chance. The food was cheap and delicious and we got to ride bikes along the coast. We enjoyed local pastries and coffee and the sun and the sea Breeze! Here are some of the pics from our three days spent in Lisbon...

Final touches

So... here I am sitting on Kelley's Island with Matt, Mirandy and Tati... who flew in from NY to come on vacation with us! Senior year is going to start in just a few days... and I am going to finish my blog now, as promised. Here is what I am going to do... I am going to post pics from each city I visited on my travels at the end, and then I will write a final reflection post. So sit back, enjoy the pics and this will really conclude my semester abroad during the late winter and spring of 2010.

Peace
