i haven't updated in so long...that's how i've been starting all of my posts lately...what can i say?? It just means that i'm busy or having fun...both are good things!!!
I just finished my winter break and it was great. I started out in Athens, Greece and stayed with my friend Stephanie's aunt and uncle. Her uncle is a native of Greece and their family is so great!! Christmas wasn't as sad as I was thinking it would be since I was with a family like them....
Anyways, Athens wasn't as pretty as I was thinking it would be, but I had the idea of the greek islands in my head. It was still really interesting!! We saw the Acropolis which was amazing!!! It's so old and the history there is incredible. The old Olympic stadium was impressive too because it was made of complete marble and over all of these years it looks great....Plus I got a great Christmas present....a brand new baby cousin!!!! Congrats Maureen and Kevv!!! I can't wait to meet alex :)
After Athens Stephanie and I went to Brussels, Belgium and met up with Sam and Moe. Brussels is a really pretty city as well...we went to a bunch of museums. My favorite was the Musical Instrument museum they had because I had never gone to one of those before!!! They had all of these really sweet instruments from all over the place and from a zillion years ago to the present....
We spent New years in Brussels...it was toooooooo much fun.
From Brussels I went alone to Madrid where I met up with my familiy!!!! It was so great to see them!!!!!!!!!!! Despite the overly crowded streets, the see-through bathroom door and the "a bit too small" hotel room, we had a blast in Madrid. I think they had more fun in Barcelona. Out of the two, I definitely like Barcelona more, but I'm slightly slightly biased. We found a couple of our favorite places to eat and I took them sight seeing. We drank a lot of wine, played a lot of cards, over all a great time!!! I miss them now so much though!!!!
Well I hope everyone has had a great start to the New Year. I really miss everyone but I'm enjoying Barcelona every day....
PS I'm so sorry there are no pictures but my computer crashed on me!!!! I lost all of my pictures and music....:( so sad
