Spain Study Abroad Update
So this last two weeks I have explored to Ribadesella, Spain and Brussels and Amsterdam! Ribadesella was a trip I took through Rollins and it was absolutely beautiful.

Madrid and Toledo
These past two weeks I spent traveling to Madrid and Toledo. Before my travels, I was unfortunate enough to get sick and spent almost a week trying to recover. By the time I got to Madrid, I met up with friends and made sure to get plenty of sleep that night so I would recover…
