No Me Digas

My apologies for the lack in posts this past week, I was just too busy out having fun, to be honest. Today is my last day in Barcelona and I can't believe it. For a long time early in my stay here I was not sure if I had made the right choice in studying abroad, but slowly this city grew on me while my love for my home began to fade to the background for a while. The weather here is finally, mercifully beautiful, and after months of rain and cold Barcelona now seems like paradise. I spent the past week drinking cava on the beach, spending time with the dear friends I've made here, sleeping on park benches and lifeguard chairs, and watching the sunrise. Maybe this is what people rave about when they talk about semesters abroad? I am so excited to go back to the states and see the mama and my friends, but I'm surprised to find that I am mourning the loss of a part of me. I may have resisted for quite some time, but at long last I can finally say that Barcelona, I love you.
