Hello!

Hi ~
So, I am so sorry that it has taken so long to write anything to you guys. I have had very little internet access the past few weeks and have only been able to quickly check emails and things like that.

The girls in the pictures are Alison and Rosellen. They are by far my two best girl friends here. Reid is the other person that I love the most and I will post a pic with him soon.

So today is my last day in Cádiz and we are all getting ready to leave. It is really crazy and somewhat surreal that I have already been here for a month and that all of the people that I become really close with are now going separate ways. Some people are going to Italy, others to Portugal, a couple to France and then some of us are traveling throughout Spain. Originally, I wanted to go out of the country and explore Europe but I have realized that I am in Spain to be in Spain. And now, I am super excited. I am starting my travels by going from Cádiz to Salamanca. It is a little bit north and west of Madrid. I am leaving tonight the 12th at 9:10 on a bus and will arrive tomorrow morning at 6:30ish. I will be staying at a hostel called Revolutum. It is close to the city center and that is where I will be spending most of my time. I am super excited to start going to museums and cathedrals and things like that by myself cause going with people that don't want to be there is not fun.

Classes ended well and I will get my grades in a few weeks, but I am sure everything turned out well. The culture class was interesting but it was a little long to sit through every day but I learned a lot about Spanish history. I do feel like the classes were in no way challenging but I am about to get my but kicked in Granada. For my culture final I had to write a free response about the artwork of an artist that we learned about and it took me a really long time and I am sure that there were a bunch os silly mistakes. I am going to start studying more and more once I am in Granada because I don't want to struggle with writing essays later on in the year.

Here are some pictures.

This was the sunset that we saw as we drove back from kayaking.

I went to the tallest tower in Cádiz and got to take all of these amazing pictures of the city from 45m in the sky.

I love you all and am going to upload some more pics in a few hours.
