Hola a todos

Hey everyone,
I apologize for the long delay, it's been a crazy past few weeks. I went to Rome, was my birthday weekend, and just all in all, taking it in and doing as much as possible. I've been having an amazing time, and have just come to the realization that my time here is pretty limited and dwindling....but asi es la vida!
I had an amazing time in Rome, nonstop touring of the city, tasting gelatis, pizza, pasta, and all that I could do in 3 days...I noticed that Rome is a COMPLETELY different city from Barcelona - Barcelona seems like such a young city, even though it is older than all of the cities in the US....Every corner you turn in Rome you will find ruins upon ruins, mosaics, marble....the amount of art and history there is unfathomable...it's beautiful, but i've gotten to know Barcelona so well in the past (almost..) 2 months, that coming back to barcelona seemed strangely like coming back home...weird, yes, but I love it!!

My next trip is going to be a big one - spring break, semana santa is in a few weeks. Will be going to Amsterdam for the first weekend and then traveling around Andalucia, or southern Spain. Sevilla, Malaga, and Granada...with one other girl. So i'm super excited for that!! Semana Santa is the week that leads up to Easter, so it is definitely one of big celebrations and cultural festivities.

Check out my pictures....
besos y abrazos a todos
Valeria
