sette/seven

I'm finally back in America and I seriously can't stop smiling about that. I love America, what a wonderful country we live in. Though I'm still so happy about getting the opportunity to travel to Europe. I can't wait to go back, well I can wait a little while. I can definitely tell how much I have changed from living in Rome. The most simple things make me happy.

Well before coming home to Texas, me and three other guys went to Barcelona, Bilbao, San Sebastian and then left from Paris. Barcelona was wayy fun b/c we stayed like 10 steps from Le Ramblas, a really cool pedestrian street with the most amazing street performers I've ever seen and then people would be selling animals everywhere, really random. We went to the aquarium and hung out with the 6 years olds, that was cool. After 4 days we took a night train [unforgettable] up to north spain. Stopped in Bilbao to see Frank Gehry's Guggenheim, an architectural masterpiece, and just hung out in the city for the day. Then we went east to San Sebastian, which was by far my most favorite city! The beaches there were gorgeous and I recommend that everyone go once in their lifetime. A simply amazing place. Our last stop was Paris, which I don't think I grasped since we were only there for 3 full days. But we did as much as we could and had soo much fun. We stayed in the gay district, played some frisbee under the Eiffel tower, and we to Corb's Villa Savoye...a great way to end our 10 day adventure. And next up is...washington d.c. for the summer, im sure there will much to explore.
