Reflections on Madrid – A Year Later
Before I went abroad, I never even considered what repercussions my trip would have on my life after I returned to the United States. Even had I done so, I don’t think I could have anticipated it.

La Corrida de Toros
A few weeks ago I went to a bullfight. I know that it’s one of the most divisive issues in Spain, and I felt that going to a Corrida de Toros would be the best way to decide whether or not I support the practice. After all that, I think the experience left me more torn about how I feel than I was before going.

Un fin de semana Andaluz
So I spent the last weekend in April visiting two Andalusian cities I’ve wanted to see for awhile – Cordoba and Sevilla. These are all the Cordoba pictures, which I would say was my favorite city of the two. It could just be that I’m obsessed with La Mezquita, and Islamic architecture in general… The [...]

Madrid, Barça, y los turistas
One of the most interesting things about Semana Santa, besides being myself a tourist outside of Madrid, was seeing the massive amounts of tourists in Madrid.

I can’t lie, I’ve seen pictures upon pictures upon pictures of the Eiffel Tower, the Mona Lisa, and every other major monument and painting I’ve seen while in Europe. But seeing them in real life.. well on [...]

Alpine Visit… Zurich
What a cold weekend. At least this time I was prepared for it and thus much less shocked by the weather. I even wore my Umich sweatshirt (*gasp* that is so not allowed in European style! ohhh wait it was under my jacket always). The most striking thing about this weekend, besides for finally getting [...]

Carnaval
So, not this past weekend but the weekend before, I finally had a weekend to stay in Madrid, and though I thought it might be less tiring than a weekend traveling, I was wrong. There was so much to do in Madrid, especially because it was carnaval weekend. Carnaval, for those of you who don’t [...]

Lisboa
So it’s been a month. On one hand, it feels as though we just got here and are still learning how to fit in, but it also feels as though we’ve been living as madrileñas for much longer than a month. It’s easy to see how certain habits of mine have changed, such as my [...]
