I finished up my solo travels in Prague, Czech Republic! It was beautiful, but freezing

Wednesday:

I spent the day with a friend of mine from Notre Dame who lives in Paris while waiting for my family to arrive!

Thursday-Sunday:

My family arrived!! We spent the next few days enjoying the holidays in Paris: the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Palace of Versailles, the Arc de Triomphe, the Garnier Opera House, the Notre Dame Cathedral, the Seine River and more!

---

Sunday-Tuesday:

Beautiful time in Barcelona! Full of good times, gorgeous views and Gaudí masterpieces—like Park Güell and la Basilica de la Sagrada Familia!

---

Wednesday:

We visited Toledo to show everyone where I had been studying and introduce my family to my host family!

Thursday:

Our last day in Spain was spent exploring Madrid!

Friday:

We headed off to the airport for the 10 hour flight to Chicago and 4 hour flight back home to Phoenix.

And that brings my incredible semester abroad to a close! Thank you all for following along through a dozen countries, 1.4 million steps or 640 miles of walking, an innumerable number of planes, trains, and automobiles, and one amazing adventure!

Všechny vás miluji a chybíte,

Je t'aime et tu me manques,

Los amo y los extraño a todos,

For one final time, I love and miss you all (and am so excited to be home!),
