Outside my small window, occasional blackbirds and pigeons wing over the dusky rooftops of central Münster. That I’m even here to witness such feathered frivolity has not quite registered in my sleep-deprived brain. For months I have waited not-so-patiently for my day of departure, and yet when the moment arrived to stroll away into the…
Munster Blog post #1
If my time here is as good as the gelato i’ve been eating (every day), then i’m in for a real treat. Münster was not what I was expecting, but what ever is? At times it’s quite warm, and the next day it will be raining all day. Aside from the occasional dull weather, Munster…
Verano Espanol-Beane
My absolute favorite thing that I did during this entire trip was probably the Candelario trip. At first I was a bit hesitant but once we arrived I knew it would be a perfect weekend away from the busy life of the city where I could just relax and just life. I took so many…

Verano Español-Fink
This summer, I had the opportunity to spend 6 weeks in Madrid, Spain. It was a great experience and I got to travel all over. I think my favorite place I went was Barcelona. Barcelona has everything a person is looking for when they are traveling: beaches, fun nightlife, good food, great people, history and…
Chachi visits el Museo Reina Sofia-Tancil
5/22 : Museo Reina Sofia This was the second cultural activity that we participated in on our trip to Spain that allowed us to visit a significant landmark in Spain, the Museo Reina Sofia. This was said to be the first of the holy trinity of museums in Spain so I was eager to finally…
The Lion King-Jung
Last night, June 26, I was lucky enough to get the chance to see “The Lion King the Musical.” Oh my goodness… it was amazing, fantastic, and incredible. However, the best part was, it was all in Spanish and I finally realized how much I actually learned on this six-week trip. From the time I…
Sevilla-Cooper
I’d have to say that one of my favorite parts of our time in Spain was visiting the city of Sevilla! I only got to spend a weekend there, but it most definitely made a lasting impression. The city is older, with narrow cobblestone streets and cathedrals and buildings that are centuries old. I absolutely…
Day Trip to Toledo-Martin
On one of the last Saturdays I went 30 minutes by train south of Madrid to the small, traditional town of Toledo; and for only 20euro. Being the famous “City of 3 Cultures” (Christian/Arab/Jew), Toledo is one of UNESCO’S World Heritage Cities and still maintains its Middle Ages layout. The hilly streets are cobble-stoned, the…
