The End...

Hello everyone,

I would first like to say sorry for falling off of this after my spring break ended. The last week of my spring break I went to Prague and Amsterdam (both young fun towns, with tons of history especially in WWII). However due to the volcano eruptions I was stranded at a friend of mine in the Netherlands for 6 nights before I got back. Then once I got back (19 hour bus ride) it was exam time and I had a lot of work to do.

I was able to do a quick weekend trip to London. It was everything I expected. To me it was an American city with a British population. But the weekend we went there all the drama with the election for the next prime minister was going on, so it was exciting.

After my finals ended about a week ago I met up with my cousin Elizabeth in Spain for 2 days. There we relaxed and hit the beach for some sun(burn). As always it was great to see a familiar face, and her friend did a great job of showing us Alicante. Thanks aunt Jeanie for putting it all together for me.

I am currently sitting in the airport waiting to board my flight home. As expected its bittersweet in that I'm going to miss Europe but am definitely ready to come back to real life. I would like to thank any and all who checked this blog. It meant a lot knowing there were people back home interested in my experiences and willing to deal with my sometimes questionable grammer and attempts to be funny.

If anyone ever wants advice on how to /where to / when to go anywhere in Europe please contact me and I'll fill you in on what I may know.

Thanks again it was the trip of a lifetime, and I can't wait to see you all back in the States, where text messaging, free water, driving, Chipotle, friends, and family all await. (importance in that order)

God Bless,
Joe
