Trip to Spain

I went on a nine day backpacking trip through Spain over Spring Break in early April. In Barcelona, I saw FC Barcelona beat Deportivo 2-1 in a stadium that seats 100,000 people. By far one of the coolest experiences in my entire life. I enjoyed very nice weather and great Tapas in Valencia. The calamari was especially delicious. Then I took an all day bus to Seville, where I met two friends from college that were traveling there. We were lucky to be there during holy week, when thousands of people participated in a religious parade around the maze-like streets of the city. Finally, I took the high speed train to Madrid, where I saw some amazing art, including Pablo Picasso's Guernica. I hope you enjoy these few pictures, but I'll show you them all when I get back this summer.


Thurso Trip March 24-28




I spent the first five days of my Spring Break in Thurso, near the northern most point in mainlaind UK. I was looking at rocks in the area with my geoscience class.
