It started off as a weekend get away to Lagos, Portugal, which was absolutely beautiful! Friday morning fifty of us loaded onto busses and through a program called Discover Seville we had a little DTW family vacation! We got there and right away were whisked off to a sangria sailboat tour where we listened to music and took little boats into some amazing caves. Even with a few clouds in the sky we all were loving this surreal life that we are living. After sleeping off our early day buzz we went to a place called NahNahBah, a local restaurant that is known for their burgers. The tucan burger, what I got, is ranked one of the fifty best burgers in Europe, and rightfully so! I never would think of putting pineapple on a burger but it was absolutely delicious! From there we went out to a bar/club where Discover Seville held a litte "party" for all of us. The next morning it was early rising to go to the top of the cliffs where we got to see the aerial view of the caves! It was absolutely beautiful and the look out down the coast was breath taking. Even in a dress and flip flops I climbed my way through the cliffs to get to the very edge; Mom, you would've had a heart attack if you saw! From there we went to the beach where we stayed for the day, playing beach volleyball and all hanging out. And to end the night we went to the "End of the World" to see the sunset as Alan played guitar and we all sang along. Sunday we spent the day in the center of city doing some souvenir shopping (I got my final key chain for my collection of all the places I've been!) and went to a little hole-in-the-wall diner known for their American breakfast! Then we hopped on the busses and went home (it was only a three hour bus ride!) And to end the perfect weekend we went to the fireworks that celebrated the end of Feria! It was the cherry on top!Obviously that is the most condensed version you could get of the weekend, but I pulled an all nighter at the Seville Hospital (long story, don't worry I'm fine!) so I'm definitely running on empty today.
But this weekend, and the week that followed all going out together and spending our days in the City Center, has really showed how close we have gotten on this trip. It's weird to think that many, and really in most cases, of us didn't know each other at all just three and a half months ago and now we have stories and memories that are absolutely irreplaceable. Even if we all didn't talk all the time or go out together every night we all have a relationship with one another; It's passing each other in the hall and saying hi to everyone. It's sad to think that my time in Europe is quickly coming to an end (only a day and a half left!) but what lies in the future outweighs that above all else. I can say that I have met secenty four new people that I share something really unexplainable with. I know when I get home everyone is going to ask my favorite places and my favorite part of the trip, but no one can really fully understand what it has been like being here besides those who were on the journey with me.
So Discover the World family- I really am going to miss you over the summer and cannot wait until we're back at school to bring all this craziness home with us! Thank you for all the amazing times we have had.
