Before I get into that, can we just talk about the fact that I only have one and a half weeks left here?!? I definitely feel like I have been here for basically my whole life, but that doesn&#8217;t make me any more ready to leave. I am so excited to be done with the academic part of this experience (so so very excited&#8230;did I mention so excited?), but I never want to stop traveling like I have been fortunate enough to do for the past 3 months. I&#8217;ll miss that for sure.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, Spain. Real Madrid is my absolute, die-hard, favorite club soccer team, so this trip has been long awaited. I met up with Arden (from Rollins, hey Arden) on Friday and we got some food and went to our Airbnb for the night. The next day I went on a tour of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium and it was everything I had hoped for and more. I saw the field, went in the players&#8217; dressing rooms, walked through a museum of the history of the team, and got to walk out onto the pitch where I always see my favorite players from my TV screen in America. It was incredible.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_4775-300x108.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15656 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_4775-300x108-300x108.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"108\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_4846-300x300.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-15657 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_4846-300x300-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_4846-300x300-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/letters\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/IMG_4846-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Arden came back to Ireland with me and went on some adventures of her own (unfortunately I am in the middle of finals so I couldn&#8217;t go along).
