SPAIN WITH MY BOYFRIEND!

Its amazing how sometimes things just work. Alex and I had tried to make plans for him to come visit during these last 2 months and nothing would come together because of work and other responsibilities we were both dealing with. After so much work and getting my hopes up and down because of plans falling through for whatever reason HE GOT HERE! It happened to work perfectly with his new job position as well as my school schedule and he came during my 4 day break a couple of weeks ago. I of course could not believe that everything worked out perfect, he was flying stand by and I was a wreck waiting here in Spain not knowing if he was actually going to make it on the plane or not, and not knowing when he was going to arrive.

When I saw him at the bus station it was surreal, I was so excited and could not wait to share my life here with him and show him what Spain was all about. We headed home and had lunch with my hermana and hermano, and then headed out and spent the whole day sight seeing and trying all kinds of good food. We went to tapas, had gelado, spanish wine and beer, and so much more, Al was in heaven with all of the delicious food we were having.

We spent 2 days in Burgos and then left for Madrid for 2 days. In Burgos we got to go see the castle, the cathedral, the evolution museum, and the burgos museum and got to spend time with all of my friends from Brazil, England, France, and Ireland. We then headed to Madrid where we were amazed to spend time at the Prado Museum as well as the Reina Sofia. It was a dream come true to see so many masterpieces by Picasso, Dali, Valezques, Goya, El Greco, and so many more.

Of course the 4 days flew by, but we finally got to enjoy each others company. It is so hard being away from those you love for such a long time and having them visit and share this experience with me meant so much to me! I am one lucky girl to have had my parents, grams, and now my boyfriend come spend time with me here, and I am so glad they loved it as much as I do!
