Whoops...

YES, I know I've been really bad. I'm ashamed of myself, believe me. I'm supposed to be documenting everything, and now, two months later...um. I'll try to do better, okay?

Anyway, I figure pictures make everything better, so here goes..


AUSTIN, TEXAS!


From before I left, but I liked them...

At the hostel in Madrid. We were all tired, pissed off, and just wanted to see our families. And those rooms were tiny.

The view out the window of the Zurich airport. Really beautiful scenery, um...




Another of the many mountain walks Ramon and I have taken...I think the Catalan flag is a nice touch, considering how much nearly everyone here loves it.



It rained a WHOLE lot one day. No kidding.




















Below is Meg, Natalie and me...our little group is completed by Caity,
but she wasn't with us...it's weird how they feel like my best friends
now...when we get together it's as if we've known each other for
forever, just because I'm closer to them than anyone else here, I guess.
Which proves how much easier it is to make friends in your own
language. We're the only four American girls in our AFS section, and
we ended up banding together totally unintentionally. So much for
international relations...

These and the one above were taken in Gaudi's Parc Güell (Barcelona), which is incredible...

Gemma, Julia, and Anna after we went to supper one night.



Anna, of course.











(left) That big rock thing in the ocean behind us is the ruins of a Latin port. As in, real old. Mmhmm. And the other picture is inside the crater of one of the volcanoes here...the one with the biggest crater. In the middle is a little church.



I suppose that's all there is, then...I'm hoping someone sees this, considering everyone must have given up on checking for new posts...
And sorry the formatting here is all screwed up...it was quite difficult, you know!

Toodly pip.
