My last half of the trip was bittersweet. I felt extremely comfortable getting around Madrid and traveling on the Ave train. I felt like I saw a lot, explored random places and got to know my host family, classmates and other people in the program. I was ready to leave to see family and friends but I also fell in love with Spain. I will miss the culture, music, language and food but I plan on bringing as much of it as I can back home. I learned how to make “Tortilla de Patatas” and Paella. I bought a Spanish tapas cookbook. Even if don’t understand all of the words, I still have a Spanish music playlist on my phone. It’s good to be home but I plan on going back to Spain!
