Dare I Say Best Spring Break Ever??

Here's the short version:

We got to Galway and hit up an amazing pub with local live music. I'm actually moving there. After spending two awesome days in Galway, we took the train back to Dublin and set up in the castle. We took actual showers and slept in an actual bed. Amazing. The parade on St. Patty's day was maybe the coolest thing I have ever been to. We also hit up the Guinness Factory, the second coolest thing I have ever been to. After an excellent time in Ireland, we left for London. We were only there for about 19 hours, but it was enough to get some sweet pictures for my scrapbook and to see the city. If you ask me, it was basically an English version of Madrid. I had to leave the next morning for Barcelona, and forgetting that London is an hour behind Spain, I woke up an hour early for the airport. Don't worry, I got to the airport three hours before my flight and was the first in line at the ticket counter. Sweet life.













Three hours later I was at the hostel in Barcelona, waiting for Brie. I had to register for my classes for next year and actually have the biggest joke of a schedule ever. After a long day of waiting, Brie made it to the train station and we headed back to the hostel to pass out. The next four days were awesome and they included renting bikes (and crashing into walls), going to the beach, shopping and meeting fun people at the hostels. Sunday was actually the worst day of my life when we waited around all day for our trains and then I boarded my "hotel train" at 10pm where I was told I would have a bed, only to realize that I was going to be sitting in a seat across from an old couple for the next 11 hours. Worst 11 hours of my life. But I made it back to Granada and collapsed in my bed and am now almost caught up on my sleep.








Future trip plans include Switzerland and Greece, but we'll see how it goes and how far my money can take me.



Aren't you glad I gave you the short version??
