These past two weeks have been incredible. They certainly revived my energy and spirit about being abroad. I absolutely loved traveling to Rome and Barcelona. For Rome, I went on a tour with Weekend Student Adventure. This was an awesome decision. I had a great guide and the people on my tour were amazing! If I had not gone on the tour, I would have missed out on so much information about the various sites in Rome and probably would not have had as good of a time. I highly recommend anyone traveling to a destination that they want to get a lot out of to use Weekend Student Adventure or some other type of tour company. My favorite things about my trip to Rome were the food, the gelato, and visiting the Vatican. Overall, Rome has been my favorite trip!
For Barcelona, I did not go on a tour, but my friend Gabe and I had a great time nonetheless. We went to Park Güell, the La Sagrada Familia, the beach, La Pedrera, and various other sites. Of all the things we saw in Barcelona, my favorite was definitely the Magic Fountain. The show it puts on with colored streams of water and music was absolutely fantastic. I watched it for a solid hour before my friend pulled me away so we could get dinner.
I am excited for my last trip to Edinburgh this weekend! I wish I had the money to go other places, but the places I have visited did not disappoint.
