Seville with Ash and our plans for the end of the trip

Hi everyone I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and I wish I could have been there with all of you for the holiday but I'll be home soon. This weekend Ashleigh came to Seville to spend the weekend in my home town in Spain. We had a great weekend and I was able to show her where I studied and some of the cultural life around the city. We even took a short trip to Granada, Spain which is about 3 hours away from Seville via train. Granada was a little bit cold since it is centered very close to the Sierra Nevada mountains, but the scenery once again was nothing short of beautiful. The end of my program here in Seville is coming to an end and it seems like I haven't been here for very long. The last week I've been thinking about all of the things I've seen and am going to see in this next couple weeks I have left in Europe and it's really surreal to think about. Learning another language and adapting to another culture for three months although short has been difficult and it feels good to be able to say I was able to do it successfully. Now that I only have a week left before finals Ash and I have been preparing for our end of the trip journey to Italy. While in Italy we won't be able to update our blogs or post pictures so everyone will have to wait till Christmas. What a bummer! When my program ends on the 12th I'll be flying out to London and catching a plane with Ash to Pisa on the morning of the 13th. We'll spend a few hours in Pisa before continuing our journey to Florence on the evening of the 13th. In Florence we'll stay for 3 nights before leaving to Venice for another two nights. After Venice, Pisa, and Florence we'll be wrapping our journey in the ancient and historical city of Rome. Ash and I are very excited for the trip and believe it is going to be a great trip to wrap up an amazing experience abroad. The afternoon of the 21st we'll be leaving Rome for London where we'll pick up our bags and move over to the next and final departing airport (HEATHRO, LONDON). I hope you're all doing very well and are all in good moods as the holidays are now upon us. I can't wait to see you all again soon.
