Prague

This last weekend was an adventure. Six other girls and I took a girls trip to Prague. I did not know anything about the city, including that they don't use euros. You may be thinking, 'Savannah why on Earth did you not look up a single thing about the country you are visiting?' and I agree that is a great question. I had an amazing time and Prague was one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen. The architecture was so beautiful and the views were to die for. We really just spent our time walking around and taking it all in. We saw the John Lennon wall, the Prague Palace, and much more. The food there was really different and I have come to like sauerkraut. There was also this amazing dessert that was like a thin and hollow cinnamon roll. Audrey and I shared ours and it was filled with chocolate strawberries and ice cream. You could also get it filled with whipped cream or caramel. We stayed in a really cute hostel and the 7 of us had a room to ourselves. On Saturday night we went on a pub crawl and I tried absinthe. It was by far one of the best going-out nights I've ever had. We met other people from the US and all over the world and ended up in a 5 story club. Sunday I spent the whole day sick while traveling and everyone starting to get sick Sunday night. Even though we all ended up with some type of virus it was amazing.

Week One

Well, this was the first week of classes and I made it through! I am taking an intensive language course and my class is huuuge. There is me, the professor, and oh yeah that is it. It's just me and the teacher four days a week for three and a half hours a day. I actually am really enjoying my class so far. We talk only in Spanish so I am getting a lot of practice in and its one-on-one help all the time, which is good because I like to ask a lot of questions. My teacher's name is Loli and she is so sweet. Surprisingly classes go by pretty fast and I am only aware of the fact that time is almost up because my stomach starts to rumble. I haven't quite adjusted to having such a late lunch after basically eating sugar for breakfast ( sorry kids even though whole grain is the first ingredient sugar is the second). God, I think I'm funny. So far this week it has been really fun, we even took a field trip to a traditional market with all fresh. By fresh produce I mean the fish

My Trip to Madrid and Volunteering

News flash everyone: the longer you wait to buy plane tickets the more expensive they are! Learned this lesson the hard way. Needless to say Audrey and I took the train to Madrid, which quite honestly was much less stressful and way more comfortable, but we made it! The two of us left on a Thursday morning and were in Madrid by the afternoon! We stayed in a hostel, my first time, that was not amazing but definitely wasn't horrible. In an effort to save money we shared one large bed in a room with about 30 other people. Definitely was an experience I will remember. Our bed looked a little like a cupboard and we had a curtain for privacy. It made me feel a little like Harry Potter living under the stairs. We met up with one of my friends from high school and explored Retiro Park and some of the other sites in Madrid then we went to a Bastille concert. Akine and Lewis Capaldi were the opening bands and I think Lewis may be one of my new favorite artists. Bastille was incredible and so

Morocco and Semana Santa Prep

Well, these last few weeks have really flown by. I was sick after our trip to Prague, recovered, and joined the program for a trip to Morocco. We took a three-hour bus ride and then a ferry to get to Tanger where we stayed. The waters were a little rough on the way to Morocco and a lot of people got motion sick. We visited so many places in two and a half days it was insane. We saw Asilah, the Blue City, Tanger and went to a ton of different shops with hand-made products. It rained all day Saturday which was not awesome but we made the best of it and the beautiful views helped you to forget that you were wet and cold. Morocco is famous for its pure Argan oil and we went to a pharmacy to try it out. I bought some henna lipstick and this weird spice mix that you breathe in and it helps stop migraines, snoring, and allergies. We also went to a store where they made rugs and a store with handmade scarves and decorative blankets. Here I fell trap and bought a really gorgeous multi-color bla
