There is nothing like good friends, good beer, good weiners, and good weather. Especially after leaving the rainy days of Italy, the weather was greatly appreciated. My time in Germany could not have been much better.
~ Cheap train tickets on an overnight from Florence
~ Multiple free Starbucks upon arrival in the train station at 7:00 am
~ Interesting teenagers with milk crates of beer
~ Regensburg was absolutely adorable with friendly people
~ Great new drink, the Regensburg Creamsicle
~ Nice hostel in the center of Munich
~ Beer gardens
~ Visiting Dachau, the first concentration camp opened in 1933
~ Train ride to southern Germany with breathtaking views of the Alps
~ Fusson, another adorable German town surrounded by beauty
~ Neuschwanstein Castle was fairytale-esque
~ Wonderful German food with weiners, brats, and sauerkraut
~ Euro Sandwiches and cheap beer for dinner and lunch

Loving Spain
~ Walking to the beach to read.
~ Meeting new people from all over the world.
~ Daily Mass at 7:30pm at the Basillica
~ 1 € Icecream at the gelateria next door to the Basillica on my way home
~ 1 € tapas (usually my dinner) at the Travel Bar 5 blocks from my apartment after 8:00
~ Being able to walk everwhere!
~ I still love McDonald French Fries .
~McDonald Chicken McNuggets aren´t that great in Spain, and there is no sweet and sour sauce so why bother.
~Artichokes are still a necessity while living in Spain!
~ I love book stores and journal stores no matter what the country.
~I have shin splints: walking on cobblestone and hard streets 15 hours a day.
~What SPAM tastes like, it was served in my 1€ dinner with egg and pasta. It wasn´too bad.
~I wear a size 38 shoe in Europe.
~Just because you are speaking Spanish, in Spain, does not mean they will understand you.
~I am alright with wearing socks 2 days if it means less laundry.

About Me
- Raquel
- At the age of 24 and with no current teaching position, I have decided to take off to Spain for a 6 week Spanish and Teaching English course. Of course once in Europe it is insane to not take advantage of other countries of which I have been dying to visit. This has left me with a 10 week adventure including living in Barcelona and traveling to Scotland, England, Morocco, Italy, and Germany. I hope to reflect, explore, meet, and of course eat!

Una Historia Qué Escribí en Mi Clase
Hola mi amigo,
¡Qué sábado tan terrible! Fui al parque y me sentí en un banco detrás de la fuente. Estaba pensando ``Hoy será un buen día, hace calor y el cielo es azúl.´´ Traje mi almuerzo para comer en el parque. Tenía un sandwich, una naranja, una cola, y patatas braves. Después de pasar 5 o 10 minutos, ¡una paloma vino hacía mi almuerzo! Dije ``¡Vete paloma tanta. Esto es para mi!´´ Entonces ví otras palomas que estaban viniendo hacía mí. ¡De repente, todas las palomas empezaron a atacarme y a mi almuerzo! ¡Les gustaba mi comida! Las palomas me picoteaban en mi cara, en mis piernos y mis manos. ¡Qué dolor! Habría muerta si una chica que tenía 5 años no me hubiera audado. La chica corrió hacía a las palumas gritando ``¡Noooooooo!´´ Ella usó la destreza de Artes Martiales para salvarme. Estoy viva ahora por esta chica. Después todas las palomas se fueron, grité ``Graciás´´ a la chica y corrié a mi casa para arreglar mi cuerpo y dormir. Nunca en mi vida he estado más asustada. Ahora necisito ir al medico. Adios mi amigo. Deseo que tienes un mejor día que yo.
