My fam and I have been to Florida a few times but we have never ventured to any state parks. It's usually just been theme parks and classic touristy things, but this time we wanted to do something a bit different.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We searched online to decide which park to visit and eventually settled on Blue Springs because it said there were manatees.</div>

As soon as we arrived we walked down to the river. People told us that we need to go more upstream to see the manatees so we went on a walk.<br />

It didn't take long to spot the manatees in the water. It was really cool to see them swimming along - although I now have hundreds of photos of grey blobs in the water.<br />

Later on we went canoeing but I was so terrified of dropping something in the water that I didn't take any pics while in the canoe.<br />
<br />
We are going to Wekiwa Springs another day though so hopefully I will be a little braver there!<br />
<br />
Love as always,<br />

Portofino has been on my list ever since I worked at Loews Portofino Bay Hotel in Orlando last summer. The hotel has a recreation of the buildings below and it was so pretty. It made me really wanted to see the real-deal in Italy!</div>

To get to Portofino, we drove to Santa Margherita and caught a boat. I think that's the best way to get there because you get to see the whole of Portofino as the boat pulls in and it really is beautiful. We were lucky and had a sunny day with blue skies.</div>

Although Portofino seems super small, you can go on a walk up the hill and visit a church and see the whole town from above. This was one of my favourite things to do in Portofino. The shops and cafes are so expensive but we were happy to just go and take photos of everything!<br />

After our walk we headed back to the harbour and had a (ridiculously expensive) coffee. I think it was like 4.50 euros for one coffee.<br />

We left Portofino by bus because the last boat had left earlier on. The bus drove round the windy roads on the cliff side. The roads were so thin - I literally cringed whenever the bus turned the corner.<br />

In terms of Portofino vs. Cinque Terre, I think I prefer Cinque Terre because it feels more authentic. Although Portofino is very pretty there is, for example, a restaurant with pictures of rich famous people who have visited. I'm not so crazy about this because it makes it feels more tacky and touristy. Having said that, it's worth a visit and we all really enjoyed visiting!</div>

Hi chums!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After a busy day visiting the Cinque Terre, we decided to spend the second day of our holiday in Pisa and Lucca. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We drove to Pisa first and headed straight to the Tower of Pisa.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We walked past the beautiful buildings next to the tower, one which was the cathedral. They were doing some renovation of the terracotta tiles on the roof so some of the roof was a bit grim - I tried to take photos to avoid showing this aspect!</div>

My favourite thing in the world was to stare at all the other tourists taking their 'I'm holding up the tower' photos. People really get inventive and it's hilarious.<br />

I know it's called the Leaning Tower of Pisa but it really shocked me how much it was leaning - like seriously that things going to topple over one day! At some angles it looks more leaning than others so I tried to get the dramatic pics.<br />

We had a little wonder round the town of Pisa but to be honest once you've seen the tower and the cathedral, the rest of the town isn't the most beautiful Italian town ever. It's very pretty but the main sight and tourist-pull is really the tower, so we ticked that off our list!<br />

We headed to Lucca in the early-afternoon. We all immediately loved the vibe of Lucca. The streets were beautiful, lined with trees and it felt a bit less touristy than Pisa.<br />

We decided to climb up a tower which had a garden at the top - it was so weird to see a tree growing on top of a building!<br />
<br />
The only downside was that there were approximate 2093902 stairs.<br />

As the sun started to set we began to feel a bit peckish. We headed to the Piazza dell'Anfiteatro for some dins. The atmosphere here was really fun. There were plenty of people but it wasn't packed so it was perfect!<br />

If you ever do go to Pisa, be sure to stop off in Lucca as well. We all preferred Lucca to Pisa, but obviously it's law to go and see that leaning tower!<br />

So that is the final Cinque Terre post, but it wasn't (thankfully) the end to our holiday. The next day we went to Pisa and Lucca so lucca out for that blog post coming very soon!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">So this is my fourth post about the Cinque Terre and this time I'm bringing you to Manarola!</span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In terms of how it looks when you get out at the train station, I would say that Manarola is most like Vernazza.

You can just see a street of old, colourful buildings and it gets you really excited!</span></span></div>

I don’t know if it’s always like this, but when we when there were piles and piles of stones, neatly laid out. </span></span></div>

I went on the most amazing holiday with my family to the North-West coast of Italy and to the South of France. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We started out by visiting Cinque Terre - one of my favourite parts of the whole trip!</div>

The first Cinque Terre we went to visit was Monterosso - the furthest away from La Spezia, where we got on the train. Despite it being the furthest, it was only 30 minutes by train which was pretty fab!</div>

Monterosso is the only Cinque Terre with a beach and we went the beach was super crowded. Luckily we're not the sit-on-a-beach-for-the-whole-day-and-get-burnt-to-a-crisp type.</div>

When we got out at the train station it was super chaotic, but if you start heading left towards all the umbrellas, you can get some pretty good snaps looking back on the beach and the amazing rock structure in the centre.<br />

When you get the the end of the walkway there is a tunnel and it seems as though that is the end of Monterosso. All I can say is: make sure you go through the tunnel!! It takes you to the other side of Monterosso, where there is a little town area behind the beach.<br />

Hi chums!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After doing a fair amount of travelling while I've been in Spain, I have decided to rank my top 6 places (it was going to be 5 but Spain is just a bit to fab so I had to do 6). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have ordered them based on which I love the most but I would really recommend going to visit all of them if you ever get the chance because they are all amazing!</div>

I've been to Barcelona twice now and each time has been so different and yet had the same chilled vibe which Barcelona gives. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In terms of things to do, you'll never get bored here. There is literally so much to do, you'll probs need at least 3 days here but you could easily spend a week or more if you wanted to do day trips out to places nearby or have some beach days.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My top picks of things to do here would be:</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>-</b> <b><a href="http://www.sightsandstripes.com/2018/06/barcelona-day-1.html">Park Güell</a></b> - a park designed by Gaudí (you need to get a train to go here but it is well worth it!)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>-</b> <b>Sagrada Familia</b> - a trip to Barcelona is not a trip to Barcelona if you don't visit Sagrada Familia </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>-</b> <b><a href="http://www.sightsandstripes.com/2018/06/barcelona-day-4.html">Montserrat</a></b> - this is a day trip and is absolutely amaaaazing. I cannot recommend this enough. You will need a full day here but you will asbolutely love it!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The only thing I didn't love about Barcelona was the beach. I went to the beach only for a few hours with my friends and we were constantly hassled by people selling things like jewellery, clothing, drinks, and even massages. It wasn't very relaxing but maybe if you head further away from the centre it might be better.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">2. <a href="http://www.sightsandstripes.com/2018/06/seville-day-2.html">Seville</a></span></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br />
Seville is one of those places where your camera will never leave your hand (those tiles are the things of dreams).<br />
<br />
I went to Seville with my fam for my birthday weekend and we were surprised just how much there is to do.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>- Casa de Pilatos</b> - this is an Andalusian palace but it is a lot smaller than the Alcázar and isn't so well known so there aren't big crowds of people here. I personally preferred it to the Alcázar because of this and could have spent way longer there but we went just before closing so we didn't have long!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>- <a href="http://www.sightsandstripes.com/2018/06/seville-day-3.html">Real Alcázar de Sevilla</a></b> - oh my goodness. Let's talk about this. Before we went we read that most people spend around 1-3 hours here. Ummmm... 5 hours later we were still there. We actually had to be told to leave by the security guards who go and gather everyone up around closing, otherwise we could have stayed a lot longer.</div>

<b>- Cathedral</b> - did someone say bell tower??? Well, you're in luck. As well as seeing inside the cathedral you can climb the slopes (there are no stairs) up to the top where the bells are. Just be sure you're not standing near a bell when it rings (I learnt this the hard way!).</div>

Wow. I could talk about Valencia forever. I think I'm a little bit in love.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Valencia, in my opinion, is way underrated. There are lots of tourists but I don't hear about it as much as Barcelona or Seville and I think I should because it is such a fun place to go and there is a lot to do.<br />

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My top picks of things to do here would be:</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>- Jardín del Turia</b> - the best part about Valencia has got to be this garden. It was originally a river but was transformed into gardens when there was a devastating flood in 1957 (yes, I wikapedia-ed it).</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>- <a href="http://www.sightsandstripes.com/2018/05/valencia-science-and-oceanographic.html">Oceanographic Museum</a></b> - I'm not normally your aquarium kind of gal but I loved this so much I spent around 5 hours here. It would definitely be a mistake if you didn't check this out.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>- </b><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Valencia Central Market</b> - if you love market stalls and buildings that look like gingerbread houses, then this will be right up your street! Even though I didn't buy anything, I loved looking at all the different stall, which sells all kinds of things, from books to clothes to food.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">4. <a href="http://www.sightsandstripes.com/2018/07/a-sunday-in-salamanca.html">Salamanca</a></span></b></div>
<br />
Salamanca is such a familiar Spanish city for me because I went there to do a couple of language courses. It's not too big, but there is still a lot to see and the golden stoned buildings and historical feel to the place makes it a definite favourite.<br />
<br />
Salamanca is west of Madrid and it takes just 1 hour 30 mins to get there from Chamartin station, so an overnight trip there would be a great idea if you're visiting Madrid for a while.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>- Plaza Mayor</b> - nowhere has a better Plaza Mayor than Salamanca. It is truly the Queen of Plaza Mayors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>- Cathedral</b> - there are actually two cathedral in Salamanca which is a weird/fun/slightly irrelevant fact you never thought you needed. You can pay to go up to the top of the cathedral which is 100% worth it for the amazing views!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>- El Huerto de Calixto y Melibea</b> - this is a garden which isn't an obvious place to visit when going to Salamanca (in my opinion), but it is really pretty and full of flowers. It also gives you a great view looking out of town, towards the river.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Do I love Toledo more than Madrid, you ask? Why, yes. Yes I do. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This might seem crazy that I've put places like Salamanca and Toledo above Madrid, but I genuinely prefer them. They may be smaller but they are so beautiful.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Toledo is like a fairytale town on a hill. You have to cross a bridge to walk up to it and it is so photogenic I think I took approximately 103893493280 pics in one day.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In Toledo there are some specific things you can do, but I would recommend just wandering around this cute medieval town. One thing I would recommend visiting is the cathedral, but other than that I think the best way to see this place is to get lost in it!</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been to Madrid several times now and I do really like it as a city, but compared to places like Seville and Barcelona, there isn't so much to do here. That's not so say that it isn't really pretty though and I think it's still worth a visit, but you probs only need a couple of full day here unless you're planning on doing day trips out of the city.</div>

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>- Plaza Mayor</b> - so super obvious, but you've got to check out the Plaza Mayor and also the Puesto del Sol which is like a couple of minutes walk and is where they do the New Year's fireworks.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>- Cathedral</b> - this is right next to the palace and you can get tickets to go up to the dome and walk round. You can also get some great pics of the palace from the balcony without loads of other people in!</div>

<br />
My term abroad went so fast and it's only now that I've got some time to think about it all that I'm realising how much I actually did - who knew?! So I've decided to do a summary blog post and write down all the numbers because the OCD in me loves all that.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQCKDQjOz91o4PoZ_JThLu1-pbF9GAgZaxx8XDpjYVztH7Hvw1Er3jEf_9Z83XP6iCtASCvzuRxqmzIXcQ1ZWMy1T22EaMi1q2p-FJ-RrLFnmo6Igvq_6is0Af9JylSLSygk-R9yFNsvzD/s1600/UNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_4e4c.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1024" data-original-width="768" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQCKDQjOz91o4PoZ_JThLu1-pbF9GAgZaxx8XDpjYVztH7Hvw1Er3jEf_9Z83XP6iCtASCvzuRxqmzIXcQ1ZWMy1T22EaMi1q2p-FJ-RrLFnmo6Igvq_6is0Af9JylSLSygk-R9yFNsvzD/s1600/UNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_4e4c.jpg" /></a></div>

So, without further ado...</div>
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Life</span></b><br />
<br />
<b>- 15 weeks</b><br />
<br />
My term abroad has been 15 weeks of living in Spain, 11 of which were compulsory as part of my university course, and 4 which were self-inflicted- sorry, I mean I chose to do them.<br />
<br />
<b>- 2 suitcases</b><br />
<br />
Last year I spent 3 months working in Florida and I took the same amount of luggage and all I needed was shorts and t-shirts. This time, however, I had to be pretty minimalistic (well, minimalistic by my standards) because in León it was super cold. It actually snowed there a few days before I went so I had to take a mix of cold and warm clothes and if I'm honest my greatest achievement of the whole trip was fitting all of that variety into my cases.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Language</span></b><br />
<br />
<b>- Level B2.2</b><br />
<br />
I feel like I have learnt so much from my classes in León and also from living and speaking with Spanish people. Learning a language in your own country can only get you so far but when you go to a country where it is the native language you can improve so much faster.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Everyone who I have ever asked 'when do you know you're fluent?' has always said 'oh, it just suddenly clicks'. Well, I still don't know what this means because even though I can speak (kinda) and my listening comprehension has gotten so much better, I still feel far from saying I am fluent.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I first got back from my term abroad I felt a bit disappointed in myself because I felt like maybe I hadn't tried hard enough to speak, but in reality I feel like it takes a lot longer to get fluent and I'm happy with the progress I have made.</div>
<br />

- 264 hours of classes<br />
<br />
The classes at the Centro de Idiomas in León are so good. After 2 years of not really enjoying uni lectures, I was really surprised how much I loved going to class in León. The teachers were so lovely and helpful and they really made a difference with my language learning.<br />

Not much happened this week apart from getting ready to go home. I was really sad to leave León but I am happy to be home and spend some time with my fam!<br />

So this week I unfortunately had to do a presentation as an assessment for my oral classes. We each had to do a presentation about an autonomous region of Spain, so I chose Catalonia, and luckily it wasn't too horrific!<br />

On Wednesday we set off to Gordoncillo to see the vineyards and to do a wine tasting (I don't drink so I just watched and chilled). It was really interesting to see how wine is made and to walk through the vineyard.<br />

After that we went to a small town nearby and visited a bullring and had some dinner. It was a really cute trip to round off all my travelling and sightseeing whilst I've been in Spain.<br />

This past weekend I went to Segovia, which is north-west of Madrid. Even though it's not massive there is still a few major things to see, the first being the aqueduct. </div>

The aqueduct is so impressive and was even more fun to see after studying it in my History of Art classes. There is always a good crowd of people around the aqueduct so I had a fab time people-watching.</div>

You can pay to go up the cathedral which is well worth it - and if you're a student you get a discount so it's really a win-win situation!</div>

After I left the palace I headed back to the centre. I had no idea where I was going but I just kept looking for the cathedral which is so crazy massive you can't even miss it.</div>

Segovia is so beautiful and I'm glad I got to visit before I left Spain because I has been on my list forever.<br />
<br />
If you ever go to Madrid and have a spare day, I would definitely recommend checking it out. You only really need one full day here, to do the palace, cathedral, aqueduct and to wander around, but it is well worth it!<br />

Love as always,<br />

So we are 3 weeks in now and I have finally got my gym card!! Every time I've been to the gym I've had to wait in line to ask if I could get it but the machine was always broken and I was so embarrassed to ask them again and again. But it's all ok now, folks! Help has come in the form of a plastic card with a horrific picture of yours truly.<br />

Looking back on it though, even though it's been a pain it has made me speak way more than if I had got it on the first day. Instead of slipping past the man or woman at the front desk, swiping my card with finesse and cruising through the turn style (ok, so I probs would have awkwardly stumbled through after swiping my card wrong several times and then being stressed because someone was waiting behind me), I actually had to face my worst fears and <u>talk to someone</u>. Such horror, but I did it!<br />

This week I did two trips, the first was with the uni and we went to see some monasteries close to León and then later we had a picnic-dinner by the river while the sun was setting.<br />

I've been to Salamanca three times before, ironically all in the same year (2015): a weekend with my Span fam (au pairing) in July, a two week Spanish language course in August, and another week at the same language school in October. So I think it's safe to say I really like it there!</div>

After an hour or so of walking around we finally made it to the Plaza Mayor. Of all the cities I've been to in Spain, I think my favourite Plaza Mayor is the one in Salamanca. It is so pretty and also looks amazing at night when it's all lit up and magical.</div>

I'm now doing writing classes (as well as grammar and oral) which I didn't do the three previous months because I was doing History of Art instead, and I'm really loving them. I've had to write various emails in Spanish over the last few years and I honestly feel like I'm always writing the wrong thing.<br />

At school and uni you learn to write essays and letters to friends, but you don't seem to learn how to write common emails like applying for jobs/asking for information. Although I could come up with something it wouldn't have sounded as fluent as how I would write something now so thank goodness for writing classes. (Also way less stressful than oral classes lol)<br />

<span style="caret-color: rgb(11, 83, 148);">This weekend I got to go back to Salamanca, a city a couple of hours west of Madrid, which I haven't visited since October 2015. I did a couple of language courses in Salamanca and absolutely fell in love with it! All the buildings are a kind of golden stone and the Plaza Mayor is my favourite.</span><br />

<br />
So I decided I wanted to spend another month studying here in Spain so I booked onto another month of summer classes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNM15jixzrWz6XsGu_DREvjbn9Ty2MHFlzPbYpsBzrBWTMk3RpZkFEWjls6YrNrNb964RoKLP1B9JVsrc7vLtmnQEHKp1DlH1MaBQb0r8vdG4dRr9VfCG5XnDdEoJceQjDRtyGBoMgrG2F/s1600/UNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_4e3d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNM15jixzrWz6XsGu_DREvjbn9Ty2MHFlzPbYpsBzrBWTMk3RpZkFEWjls6YrNrNb964RoKLP1B9JVsrc7vLtmnQEHKp1DlH1MaBQb0r8vdG4dRr9VfCG5XnDdEoJceQjDRtyGBoMgrG2F/s1600/UNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_4e3d.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
This meant that everyone from my English uni who was also studying here went home and I am now in classes with other students.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Life</span></b><br />
<br />
I was weirdly nervous to start back at the language centre again because I thought that the teachers would think it was weird that I came back but they seemed happy to see me (I hope they were anyway) so after one day it was all good.<br />
<br />
It was also nice to meet some new people. The other students are all from various universities in the US, but almost all of them have families which originate from South America or Mexico so it's really nice to hear about South American culture.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
There also happened to be a quarter final World Cup Match this week which England was playing in. I was weirdly into it seeing as I don't really have any interest in football. They won the match and made it into the semi-finals so I'm sure I will be watching that next week and fingers crossed they'll make it into the final!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Language</span></b><br />
<br />
As I mentioned before, the new students have South American and Mexican family which means they have grown up learning South American Spanish. This is more different to Spanish here in Spain than I first thought but I'm loving learning what they do differently and also trying to work out the accents of different South American countries (I suck at this but I try lol).<br />
<br />
I also signed up to the gym this week because it is fiiiiinally sunny in León!! But as you can imagine, this meant I had to <u>talk</u> to someone to buy it (ahhhh). For some reason being home for a week has made me more nervous to speak Spanish now I'm back because I was suddenly super scared to speak to someone to buy a membership. Luckily it was all fine and I bought a month membership without any awkward I-have-no-idea-what-you're-saying moments. I feel like for me I make up situations in my head of how embarrassing it will be when something goes wrong, but in reality it's never that bad so I'm going to really try to break this habit over the next few weeks.<br />

I am so lucky that I have the most amazing friends in Madrid (my very own Span fam who I au paired for a couple of years ago) and this weekend I went to visit them. They are the nicest people in the world and always make me feel so at home. We had such a nice chilled weekend and I was so sad to leave them on Sunday evening to make my way back to León!<br />

When you get to the top there are incredible views of the mountains and then there are also some really pretty buildings, including a museum and a monastery, along with a few shops.<br />

We waited in a queue for about 30/40 mins so that we could go through the corridor at the side of the church and this leads you up to the platform where you can look out over the inside of the church (below). </div>

Days 2 and 3 of my Barcelona trip have kind of blurred together a bit in my mind because we did more wondering round than going to specific places, so I've decided to join them together.</div>

The first thing we did on Monday morning was to get up and see the sunrise. We watched this from the bridge which leads up to the stairs to the art museum. We had to get up super early but it was really pretty and obvs it was really quiet apart from a few early birds (and a few late late owls).</div>

Something which you wouldn't want to miss in Barcelona is the cathedral. For 7 euros you can go inside and go up to the top for some insane views.<br />

Another thing that I would recommend doing is visiting the music hall. It's not the cheapest thing in the world, but there is a discount for students and this includes an hour tour of the building.</div>

Normally I am not a huge fan of tours but maybe it was because the guide was good or maybe it was because the tour was in French (long story) and I don't speak French, but I actually enjoyed it!</div>

We all arrived on Saturday evening and had decided that we wanted to visit Park Güell the next morning. When we looked to book tickets there were only two times so we went with the earlier one (8:30am). At first we were like omg soooo early because Park Güell is a little out of the city, but it turns out it was a blessing, not a curse, because the park was a lot more quiet in the morning and we got some better pics!</div>

Park Güell is so beautiful, with mosaics and cool architecture - I would seriously recommend that this place is at the top of your list if you go to Barcelona.</div>

You have to pay to go in the park, but once you are finished I would recommend going up as high as you can - it's a little bit of a climb but worth it for the views!<br />

To top off our hectic sight-seeing day, we visited Casa Milà, another building designed by Gaudí. </div>

On my trip to Barcelona last year I visited Casa Batllò which is really close by. I personally preferred this Gaudí building so if you had to choose between them, then I would go for that one, but I am glad I have seen Casa Milà as well.</div>

<br />
So, this week was a weird one. It was the last week of the course and the vibe was a bit different because the Americans had already left so the classes were quieter and everyone was kind of waiting to finish and celebrate the end of the term abroad. It was still super fun though and the week ended for me in Barcelona, where I met three of my friends.<br />

On Friday, the day before I went to Barcelona, I went to watch the sunset which is one of my favourite things to do. It was so pretty and the perfect end to my term abroad in León!<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Language</span></b><br />
<br />
Week 11 has been one of the best weeks for spontaneous language. I actually feel like I do way better speaking Spanish when I'm put on the spot as opposed to when I have planned something word by word in my head (I normally end up word vomiting and saying something that sounds a bit like phlasnjdsaifhjnawpelskv).<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When we headed to Montserrat for the day during our stay in Barcelona, we went to the station to buy tickets. For some reason the station was such a mare - so confusing to know where/how to buy these tickets and we were getting a bit stressed. This stress may have caused me to make a huge language-learner faux pas - I asked if the workers spoke English instead of trying to speak to them in Spanish (shame on you, Emma!!!!!)<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway, turns out none of them spoke English (say wuuut?!). I suddenly had a mixture of 'oh my gosh this is so exciting you don't speak English - THIS IS MY CHANCE' and 'ohhh noooooo I have to speak Spanish - SOS' (I seem to have a dual personality when it comes to languages, but what can I say, I'm a Gemini!)<br />

<br />
So long story short, I spoke to several workers and we managed to get the tickets and make the train. Then, on the train, my friend said something to me which made all the embarrassing language mistakes I've ever made worth it: 'I don't think we would have got the tickets if you didn't speak Spanish'. Wow. Stop. Maybe I'm not 100% useless!! Maybe just 98%. Yaaaaay for that 2%!!!!!<br />

On one of the far sides of the gardens there are loads of peacocks. As someone with a major fear of birds, I stayed waaaay back. But I did manage to get one picture (below) thanks to some super zooming.<br />

After leaving Casa de Pilatos, we had a bit of a wander round and came across this super photogenic red/pink and yellow church.<br />

<br />
This week was the penultimate week of classes and it was also the week where I had to say goodbye to my American friends (they finished a week earlier than the UK students). But on the bright side I ended the week with my family in Seville, which was my first ever trip to Andalusia.<br />

<br />
This week on Friday, it also happened to be my birthday. After years of exams, studying and even D of E on my birthday, I was super happy to be spending it in Seville. So I said goodbye to the ol' teens with sightseeing, tapas and a solid amount of iced tea! (Side note: do patatas bravas not exist in Seville?!?!?! because I. Didn't. See. Any. - it's not ok.)<br />

<br />
Before heading off to Seville, my Spanish teacher warned me that the accent there is notoriously difficult to understand and that even she sometimes struggles to understand it. This naturally filled me with joy. Wait, wuuut...? Nope. I did not get it. I'm normally not too good with accents anyway (as in I can't distinguish very well where someone is from). To me, there are two Spanish accents: one I can understand and one I can't. I'm hoping that with time I'll get better at distinguishing accents but for now it's a bit of a stab in the dark.<br />

<br />
So, let's just take a moment for Seville.<br />
<br />
Never have I ever seen as many mosaics!!! Jokes, I think Barcelona could give it a good ol' mosaic-run-for-its-money, but the two are just such different cities.<br />
<br />
Having learnt a bit about Seville and the Arabic influence in my History of Art classes, I was full-on nerding-out. The Arabic-style of the buildings gave the place a Moroccan feel, but still with Spanish vibes.<br />
<br />
One of my favourite stops in Seville was the Plaza de España. I had seen lots of pictures of this place, but it was so much better in real-deal life. My other favourites were la Casa de Pilatos, Real Alcázar and the cathedral.<br />
<br />
I will be doing day by day blog posts for Seville because I took a few hundred photos as always.<br />

I can't believe the final week of my year abroad course is here already. I really want to make the most of it, and then I'm headed to Barcelona on Saturday to meet some of my buds!<br />
