Ciao a tutti,
These past days I have been having a rough time and that is why I haven’t posted. We just had fall break and it was a wonderful one but a couple of things happened that dampened it for me. First off we go to Lisbon, where we had an amazing time and did a segway tour. I thought segways where boring and lame but after this trip I think the opposite. After Lisbon we went to Barcelona and that’s where the bad things start to happen for me. We were sitting in a pizza place and we walk out and when we reach the first block I realize I left my camera. I ran back but when I got there it was already gone. It hurt losing my camera but it wasn’t the end of the world. Next, we went to Madrid where I had the time of my life. We walked around in a massive park where we saw some incredible sights. The park was so big we didn’t even cover 10% of it. After walking the park we went to one of the most incredible zoos I’ve ever been to. then came the most incredible thing I’ve ever experienced. We went to the Real Madrid stadium tour and I got to experience the team of my childhood with my own eyes. Ever since I was a kid I wanted to see the Santiago Bernabeu and I got way more than that I experienced the bench where the players seat, the locker room, the history of the club, and the most impressive I got to see all of Real Madrid Champions League cups. Being a soccer fan there is no higher honor than to experience what I did and it is a tale I will always carry with me. Sadly when fall break was over and I had to come back to Rome I forgot my phone in my taxi so not only did I lose my camera but also my phone. Even though I had those two bad experiences I’ve enjoyed my time in Europe thus far. I won’t be able to share what I’ve lived through photos but the experiences I’ve had will always be with me. It saddens me to think that my time here is almost over so I will cherish all the time I have left here.
Arrivederci!
