In Austria, after being in Innsbruck, I went to a town called Sölden. The town was one of the few mountains open during the Thanksgiving holiday because a lot of the Alps, hadn’t gotten much snow. I am an avid snowboarder so it was really nice to finally escape the city life and craze of…
November 2nd – November 13th: León – Mining Museum & Sidra Museum
Well time has been moving pretty fast, we have a little over month left in Spain and I have had a blast thus far here in Europe. The first excursion of November was to León, which is south of Oviedo. The most significant building in León is the León Cathedral because of its Gothic architecture….
Lisbon, Budapest and Vienna
A lot has happened in the last two weeks! Where to I begin? The first trip began in Portugal, Lisbon specifically, when the boys decided they wanted to experience the Casino the night we go there. We ended up sort of stranded at the end… But the next day we toured our hearts away starting…
3 Weeks
We have less than three left! The past week was pretty busy for me. I spent my thanksgiving in class and going to an American restaurant In Oviedo. It wasn’t quite turkey and mash potatoes, but I was okay with a chicken burrito and a chocolate milkshake. That weekend, I flew to Munich with my…

Classes at the University are going well so far and I am enjoying each of them.

Time flies
I cannot believe how fast this time has gone by. My parents visited last week for Thanksgiving which was really nice. I thought it would be a lot more difficult to say goodbye to them, but it was actually not too because I remembered how little time I have left until I return home. I…
Thanksgiving in another country
This was my first time ever being away from home and my family for thanksgiving, and any big “family” holiday for that matter. Which was kind of weird not being with them. Also thanksgiving is just an American holiday so it was weird going to class on a holiday that i usually spend the whole…
times running out
My time in London has absolutely flown by. I can believe we have just under a month left here until its time to go back to the USA. Which I am not complaining about going home. I’m actually excited to go home. I feel like time away from home makes you appreciate home and family…
