As I close this chapter of my life and end my time in Europe, I am thankful to have been able to fit in one last trip with one of my closest friends. Sara and I took a short trip to Barcelona, Spain!

It was intimidating traveling to another country just the two of us instead of as a group, but we were able to conquer and enjoy ourselves! There were some hiccups unfortunately, I was under the weather, but I put on a brave face and pressed onward. We eventually found a local pharmacy and asked for help; there was a language barrier, but with the use of technology, I was able to communicate smoothly with them and get medication.

I got better a day or so in and we were able to enjoy the last few days of our trip! We visited Park Güell, Sagrada Família, and the Moco Museum! Spain will always hold a special place in my heart; it was such a wonderful way to end my time in Europe!
