It has been almost a month abroad, and I have managed to see Madrid, London, Gijón, and Cudillero. In Cudillero, there is a beach that is considered one of the best in Spain, and when you go there, you understand why. After driving through small towns for awhile, you eventually a huge cliff that overlooks the Atlantic ocean. The water was freezing, but the time spent driving there and walking to water was worth it. During that time, Oviedo had a ten day long festival for San Mateo. This crowded the streets and created a never ending night life!
London was an awesome experience. The weekend we went, it was a bigger soccer weekend, so everywhere you went there was a match on the television. We went to a couple museums, saw Big Ben, the London eye, and of course ate bangers and mash and fish and chips. I also happened to meet a group of students that are studying abroad in Scotland. One of the people is friends with someone I went to high school with! It’s such a small world.
Time is flying by, but there is still so much time. This weekend, I will be in Barcelona for a long weekend with a couple of friends! After this weekend, I will finally begin classes at the University of Oviedo!
