Ok, I'm back and let me just say that Germany is AWESOME. Munich was one of the coolest places ever and the trip was so much fun. There's no way I can write everything that happened in the past six days so I will give you the short version:
1. Rachel lost her passport in Barcelona and had to stay behind one day to get a new one from the American embassy. Luckily there was one in Barcelona and she met us in Munich the next day.
2. We went to the Dachau concentration camp and it was one of the most eye-opening experiences that I have ever had.
3. We tried to go to Salzburg, Austria but the train system ended up breaking down 45 minutes after we left and we sat in a parked train car in the middle of Germany for 4 hours before being shuttled back to Munich in the smallest bus I have ever seen. Standing smashed up against a bus window with horrible smelling people was definitely a great way to spend 2 hours. I highly recommend doing it in your lifetime.
4. We met 2 boys from England and they were two of the coolest people I have ever met. We hung out with them throughout the whole trip and they kept buying us vending machine beer from the hostel. I am trying to bring the concept of vending machines that hold beer back to US.
5. We had pizza for lunches and dinners 6 times during the trip and the last night in Barcelona I had half a bag of cheetos and 2 bananas for dinner. I highly recommend never doing that in your lifetime.
6. Rachel risked her life every night for 5 nights while I slept above her in the creakiest bunk beds I have ever encountered. I chose the top because I didn't want to be the one catching the top bunk in the face if it went down.
7. We found a Starbucks and practically lived there when we weren't living at the pizza place. German coffee beats Spanish coffee any day.
8. We made it back to Granada yesterday at 7:30 and not one of us made it to our 10am classes.
9. I am still exhausted but that's the price you have to pay to live the dream.
Sevilla on Friday. Just enough time to unpack and repack my suitcase. Yesssss.

About Me
- Tara
- Granada, Spain
- I'm traveling to Spain to spend a semester at the University of Granada in hopes of finally becoming fluent in the Spanish language. In the subsequent four months I plan on taking too many pictures, seeing too many cities, getting lost too often, and drinking all the Fanta Limon I can get my hands on.
