<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /><br />The other day, I pulled a splinter out of my thumb. It was so small and I was surprised that something so small could cause me so much pain. I noticed the pain a few days earlier and thought maybe I had burned my thumb on something or shut it in a door or a drawer or something else entirely. But then after a few days I noticed the splinter. I tried in vain to get it out with tweezers. After reading about some other ways to take care of it, I realized I would need more supplies. But in spite of the pain in my thumb I was in no hurry to get them because I just genuinely did not feel like going to the store or bothering with the splinter. So I just let my thumb go on hurting until I eventually forced myself to put in the work I needed to take care of it.</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /><b>Y’all, I willingly allowed myself to suffer because the solution to my problem required more work than I was willing to put in.</b> And it was so silly! Then I thought, how often do we do that with bad habits and sin? Sometimes a seemingly little sin or habit can cause you a lot of pain. And sometimes even though we want to move past a particular sin, or break a particular habit, and to quit allowing it to bring us down, the steps it would take to move on feel like more effort than we are willing to put in. So we just let ourselves suffer. The problem is “small” sins, and “little habits” can spiral into much bigger things if left unchecked. So today and each day I am going to try to do my best to move past my own laziness and put in the work I need to put in in order to move towards holiness. </span></div>

A little over a week ago I finally went to adoration at my church in a town I’ve been living in for over 6 months now. What took me so long to get there? Well a part of me wants to say that the adoration time was hard to fit into my schedule but it is literally 12 pm to 7 pm. I honestly either forgot or made excuses week after week. Finally I went. As I was walking into the little adoration chapel I was keenly aware that I was the only person there who would not qualify for a senior discount. In my college town, adoration was attended by more college students and young adults than any other group. I was constantly surrounded by a little crew of people my age who were striving for holiness and pushing me to grow in my relationship with Christ. I had people holding me accountable. As I sat down in adoration I began to think, you don’t always need your little “striving squad” of other like minded people striving for holiness, to grow in your faith. Of course it’s helpful, and often even life-giving but if you are motivated enough you can be committed to your own journey in faith without anyone’s help.</div>
<br />
Now, don’t get me wrong, this is not me advocating for the fact that you can do it alone. In fact, every time my prayer life has suffered, it has been because I did not have other people to hold me accountable and push me. But, not having a solid group of church friends should not be the reason your prayer life suffers!<br />
<br />
This is a note that I wrote to myself in adoration that I would like to share with y’all,<br />
<br />
“Do not allow your place in life or your place in your faith be determined by anyone but you. Place your identity and trust in the Lord and takeoff running. Maybe you will look to the side and find someone running alongside you but slow down for no one. Do not be afraid to be too Catholic, or too Christian. Never judge or talk down to anyone but never let anyone drag you down. Society will tell you what you’re doing is not right but the feeling of peace and joy and fulfillment that can come only from Jesus Christ will remind you that you are on the right path. Be steadfast in your pursuit of the Lord. He is constant and He will fill your cup!!”<br />
<br />
This is something I really struggled with my first 5 months or so on my own in the real world. I convinced myself that because I wasn’t on a campus with a super active faith community, and because I couldn’t seem to find a lot of young people trying to grow in their faith in my new community, that I was just out of luck and that I could just let my faith life plateau. I didn’t realize that I could continue to grow in my faith and push myself in my faith on my own, I just had to makeup my mind that that’s what I wanted and ask the Lord for help.

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Hey y’all! I hope you’re having a great day, wherever you are. A few weeks ago I got to mass early to go to confession and spend some time in prayer. I was flipping through my bible randomly, something I do more frequently than I care to admit. I often find myself flipping through the Psalms just waiting for something to jump out at me. Well, Psalm 22 really jumped out at me. I’m no expert on the Bible (hence me flipping through it at random) but I did a study last year on Salvation History. This Psalm is one of many places in the Bible that foreshadows the death and crucifixion of Christ. Psalm 22 is called “The Prayer of an Innocent Person”. I would definitely recommend reading the whole thing at some point if you have a chance but I wanted to highlight a few things: </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 12px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">“Dogs surround me; a pack of evildoers closes in on me. They have pierced my hands and my feet I can count all my bones. They stare at me and gloat; they divide my garments among them; for my clothing they cast lots.” Psalm 22:17-19</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 12px;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;"></span><br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">This is the “prayer of an innocent person”. It foreshadows exactly what will happen to Jesus. David wrote this like 1000 years before Jesus’ time! </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 12px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Anyway all of this really got me thinking about how God has ALWAYS had a plan for each one of us. He has meticulously planned each detail for all of history. Yes, we have free will obviously but he has this plan for us that is so much greater than anything we could dream up. He has had a wonderful plan for our lives since before even our ancestors’ ancestors were even dreamed of by <i>their</i> ancestors. The bible is so full of His meticulous planning and foreshadowing that took 1000s of years to fulfill but shows how perfectly He plans each and every little detail. This was a good reminder for me to TRUST in Him, and trust in His timing and have patience because His plan is PERFECT. </span></div>

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;">Today I am going to tell you about the time I had the honor of touching Taylor Swift’s hand. I’m not just bragging, I promise this story has a point. It was at her Stadium Tour stop in New Orleans. I was at her concert with my friend Blaine, another huge Taylor Swift fan. (Yes, I am unashamedly a Swifty or whatever they’re called. I have been a fan since her first album and I think she is one of the more talented song-writer’s of our generation). Blaine and I PLOTTED how we could end up in one of the coveted spots along where she walked through the crowd at each show. We sat on the phone trying to book tickets for a while before taking our best guess as to which seats where the closest to her walkway. We arrived at the concert and went to our seats. We stood through part of the openers scoping out the availability of space standing along the railing of her pathway. We ended up in a little corner that was really part of a walkway to get to seats that was along the path Taylor would cross about half-way through the concert. We stood there, beginning in the opening acts, claiming our spots along the pathway. We sang and danced and enjoyed the concert. About a song or two before Taylor would begin to walk through the crowd people began to crowd along the railing. It began to get uncomfortable but we held our ground and stayed in our place. Then it happened. She got off the stage and began to walk through the crowd. Her pathway was wide but small enough that she could grab people’s hands on both sides. With all the hands around me I thought surely, she will miss mine. In that moment I wanted her to touch my hand more than anything else in the world. As she slowly moved closer I found myself cheering and screaming in spite of myself. Then she was right there. She grabbed my hand. It was only for a brief moment but it felt like much longer. She squeezed my hand and moved on but in that moment I felt the love she has for her fans. She is a big star. She does not have to walk through the crowd like that. I’m sure it is an incredibly overwhelming experience to have people reaching out from all directions, desperately trying to touch you. But she loves her fans and she wants them to feel that love. She wants to connect with as many of them as possible. So she created this pathway to do just that. After she squeezed our hands, Blaine and I turned to each other and I remember I was just crying. All because a celebrity, who I had been a fan of for years, touched my hand. </span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">As I was thinking back on this experience I began to wonder, what would life be like if we were super-fans of Jesus? If we plotted and planned anything we could to get close to Him? To See Him? Jesus also loves His “fans”. He also wants to do everything He can to get close to us. That’s why He makes Himself available in the Eucharist every single day. Y’all each week at Mass we have the opportunity to touch Jesus, to have an intimate relationship with him. Each time we go to Eucharistic Adoration, it is like Jesus is inviting us to a private concert. He wants to make Himself available to us. He wants to be adored by us. But in the same way He adores us on a much more personal level than any celebrity or even human person ever could. What if we went crazy for Jesus in the same way we go crazy over celebrities? What if we let Jesus dictate the trends we follow and the plans we make the same way celebrities do? </span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;">What would life be like if we were able to comprehend the <u>fullness</u> of Jesus in the Eucharist? </span><br />

<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none;"> At the beginning of a year, I’ve never really sat down and tried to think of a word that I needed to take to prayer or focus on for that year. However, thinking back on 2018, a word that comes to mind is “trust”. The year I was supposed to graduate college, I found myself in a really weird place where nothing in my life looked how I thought it would. I really had to learn to trust in God and His plan. This is something I constantly struggled with (let’s be honest I still do sometimes) before 2018, but the struggle intensified as graduation approached. Throughout the year I continued to pray for trust in God’s plan again and again and at some point I began to accept that He did have a plan for me that was greater than anything I could have imagined.</span><span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> But the issue was, I lacked patience. I would think to myself “Well I know God has a plan for me and maybe if I do this it will speed it up”. I trusted that He had a plan but I didn’t want to trust in His timing. Obviously if His plan is perfect, then His timing is perfect too, but in my head I felt like I could somehow speed things along. </span><br />

<span style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: initial;"> Towards the end of 2018 and beginning of 2019 a word that kept popping up for me in prayer was “Patience”. I realized that in so many ways I was lacking in patience. I truly believed that God did have a perfect plan for me, but I didn’t want to have to wait for it. I also teach middle schoolers and patience is something that I can always use more of because they really know how to test your patience. The more I have been praying for patience, in God’s timing of my life, the more at peace I feel with where I am right now in His plan for me. I really don’t know what is coming next but I know that I need to embrace where I’m at and stop trying to “skip ahead” to the next chapter of my life. I’m really excited to see how my perspective changes over this year and I’m looking forward to whatever fruits might come out of this prayer for patience!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Hi friends. I’d like to think of you all as friends, even if you’re new here. As friends we have to trust each other. We should be honest with each other. That’s what I vow to do. I vow to be brutally honest with y’all. And that won’t always be easy for me. That means I will have to be vulnerable with y’all. Vulnerable with you, my sweet friends, in ways that maybe I was once afraid to be vulnerable with people I had known for years. But I am going to make a promise to be real and vulnerable with y’all if you choose to follow along. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">You see, in May 2018 I graduated college. Throughout college I struggled a lot with feeling like I actually belonged where I was. Feeling self-conscious and second-guessing all of my little choices and big decisions was, well, second-nature to me. And to be fair, it always has been. I’ve struggled with anxiety and insecurity for years. I remember feeling so alone, in a dorm FULL of people. I remember feeling like my friends were hanging out without me and thinking to myself “of course they’re hanging out without you, why would they want to hang out WITH you?”. I remember being self-conscious abut the number of people in my instagram posts because I didn’t want people to <i>think</i> I went off to college and didn’t make any friends. As I got older and had been in college for longer I still found myself second-guessing every friendship I had. I always had this little voice in my head telling me that these people didn’t actually want to be friends with me. In my insecurity I didn’t allow myself to be real and vulnerable in some of my friendships. I <i>believed</i> the lies I was telling myself that I was not enough, that I was not wanted. I was insecure and clung to the few relationships I felt sure of. I placed my identity and my sense of belonging in other people. Introducing myself as, “Oh I’m Sydney, ________’s friend” or “I’m Sydney, ________’s girlfriend.” But y’all, here’s the thing, no human can handle the pressure of you placing even a </span><span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">part</span><span style="font-kerning: none;"> of your identity in them! What I did not realize was that my identity belongs in Christ alone. He is the only one who can handle that pressure. Not only that, but he wants that! He wants you to see that your identity is rooted in Him and Him alone! Because what is really better or more secure than finding your identity as a son or daughter of the King of Kings? </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I had a lot of really positive changes my senior year of college. I caught a glimpse of what true joy could look like in my life. I learned how to feel secure in myself and my identity in Christ. Through this, I found an independence and a confidence that I never had known before. With all of this came a greater sense of trust and I gave God the biggest “Yes” I had given Him so far, when I decided to be a teacher in rural Mississippi.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I went into the real world feeling secure in myself, my relationship with God and with my friends. I felt so sure that I was exactly where God wanted me to be. But y’all, adult life is </span><span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">hard</span><span style="font-kerning: none;">. It really is. I got busy. And I let my priorities change. I found myself scrolling for hours on social media feeding myself the lies of what society tells us is good. I was lonely and constantly filling my life with noise between Netflix and Social Media, I would sit there and numb my mind to my loneliness for hours. I would tell myself lies about how much better all my friends’ lives were. How they were all having way more fun than I was. When people asked me about my job, I told them I loved it, which is true I LOVE my job. But I live in a town where there are few opportunities for people my age and I am lonely. I let social media become this toxic influence in my life. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Arial; font-size: 12px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">But I’m here now. I changed my priorities, I made more time for prayer and stopped lying to myself about how everyone’s instagram highlight reel is real life and that I am the only one who is experiencing loneliness. I’m here to share my stories with y’all. Yes there are other people out there doing their best to live their faith. Yes there are other people out there who are in their twenties and have no clue what they are doing. Yes there are other people out there who are 22 years old and not married, engaged or in a relationship (shocking I know). Yes there are other people out there who have to google "how to open a can without a can opener” because they never thought to buy one. Yes there are other people out there buying into the lies that this world tells them about who they are and who they should be! I am here to remind you to stop believing these lies. I am here to do life with y’all, if you want. This is me and this is </span><span style="font-kerning: none; text-decoration: underline;">real</span><span style="font-kerning: none;"> life. </span></div>

A few weekends ago I flew to Arizona for a quick weekend trip to visit a friend from high school! I have only been to Arizona one other time but I have to say Arizona weather is ideal this time of year. It has been rainy and relatively cold for most of the past month (though things are beginning to warm up I think!) so the warm weather was ideal. My friend Chandler goes to the University of Arizona in Tucson so we just had a chill weekend there.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
Oxford doesn't have a lot of shopping so we were able to catch up on a bit of shopping (I REALLY needed a trip to Sephora). While we were shopping, we visited some puppies and it took everything in me not to take one home! It was her sororities "Mom's Weekend" so we did a few activities for that as well. We went to Top Golf on Saturday, and it was my first time going to a Top Golf and I loved it! I actually won one game, which never happens because I'm incredibly uncoordinated. We just got to eat (and drink) and hang out in the shade while hitting golf balls.<br />
<br />
The best part of the weekend (besides catching up with Chandler) was by far laying out at the Loews Ventana Canyon resort in Tucson. School has been especially stressful this semester (I have a senior thesis due really soon) so it was so nice to just have a break in the sun. We had some of the best strawberry Daiquiri's I've ever had by the pool and the weather was perfect. Since Arizona is not humid it didn't feel too hot, but it was still nice and warm. The PERFECT weather to lay by the pool.<br />
We ended the trip with a stop at In-And-Out Burger, which we ate in the car looking out at the mountains. It was the best little weekend getaway!<br />

<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VaKvrTcfL8w/WMmRqU2FtbI/AAAAAAAAQJI/pQlBcqmgjKgXFS9Vwmc7z7OeyHQME1DUACPcB/s1600/IMG_8991.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VaKvrTcfL8w/WMmRqU2FtbI/AAAAAAAAQJI/pQlBcqmgjKgXFS9Vwmc7z7OeyHQME1DUACPcB/s640/IMG_8991.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
While my parents were in Málaga we also took a day trip to <b>Tangier, Morocco</b>! Morocco wasn't on my top list of places to visit at first but after a while I realized that I have no clue when I will be that close to Morocco again so we booked a tour. We planned this trip very last minute (the day before) and there were no big bus guided tours available with decent reviews so we began to look into a private tour. We stumbled upon <a href="http://www.saidtours.com/en/"><span style="color: magenta;">Said's Tours</span></a> which had good reviews. (Here is the link to his <a href="https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g293737-d1551481-Reviews-Said_Private_Day_Tours-Tangier_Tangier_Tetouan_Region.html"><span style="color: magenta;">Trip Advisor</span></a> page if anyone is looking into a day trip to Morocco!) We took a bus from Málaga to Tarifa where we took a ferry to Tangier, but there were limited busses and ferries so we only had about 6 hours in Tangier. Said was very accommodating and allowed us to prioritize the things we really wanted to do. No one in my family is much of a foodie so we chose to opt out of the special Moroccan dinner and I requested a Henna Tattoo so he made a point to make sure I was able to get one. The ferry ride was fairly short and we were able to go through customs on the ferry which saved us time when we got to Morocco.<br />
<br />
When we got there, Said himself was waiting for us with a sign. He took us to the car and we went on our way. We first went for a little <b>driving tour </b>of the city where Said gave us a little background information on Tangier and then he dropped us off with another guide who led us around for a while. We went to a light house where we could see where the <b>Atlantic Ocean meets the Mediterranean Sea</b>. Then we got to <b>ride camels</b> on the beach. This was at the top of my list and one of the coolest things we did. I had some friends who went to Morocco and they said that the camels they were given the opportunity to ride were very poorly treated but the ones we saw were just in a small group, not meant for big bus tours, and seemed to be treated well. Then we went to the <b>Cave of Hercules,</b> where the Phoenicians had carved an opening to the sea in the shape of Africa. The entire cave was basically a very rough map of their little part of the world and it was incredible because it was so old (the Phoenicians arrived in Morocco as early as 1000 B.C.)!<br />
<br />
After this we met back up with Said and he took us through a fairly poor <b>residential area</b>. It was incredible because it was so local. We never would have gotten to see it if we were on a big bus tour. Said seemed to know everyone and he took us into a house where they make traditional bread and he was able to just take a piece and share it with us. After the residential area, we continued to the <b>Medina market</b> area where there were lots of spice markets and fruit sellers and then we went to a meat market and a fish market.<br />
<br />
We did not go to any big tourist market where we were pressured to buy things by everyone we passed by, we walked passed one and we felt very lucky to have seen the more local side of things. We ended the day in a <b>spice shop</b> where we learned about traditional spices and oils and we were able to buy some Aragon oil (another big thing on my list), for our hair and skin. Our other tour guide brought a little Arab lady into the store who didn't speak english and she did my Henna tattoo. We headed back to the ferry, stopping for pictures outside of the <b>Casbah</b> (the old part of the city), and our guides made sure that we did not feel rushed or hurried.<br />
<br />
When we got back to the port to get to the ferry, Said knew people and was able to help us bypass the long customs line, and he walked us all the way to the ferry. Our private tour was really not much more expensive than a big bus tour would have been but it was so much more worth it for us. It made Tangier one of my favorite places that I got to travel during my time abroad.<br />

While my parents were in Málaga, we took a day trip to <b>Gibraltar</b>. Gibraltar is a territory of the UK but it is at the southernmost tip of Spain and it is very close to Morocco. It was cool because they spoke a mix of Spanish and English because it is an English territory but it is so closely connected with Spain. We took a <b>bus trip</b> that had the option to just ride the bus to get to Gibraltar or to take a tour and after hearing recommendations from a friend, we chose to just take the bus there and find our own tour once we got there. The bus trip took far longer than it should have because we had to stop frequently in different towns to pick up more people but it got us there so we couldn't complain. Once we arrived in Gibraltar we quickly grabbed some lunch then walked towards the mountain where we caught a taxi guided tour to the top. Basically in Gibraltar there are a bunch of<b> taxi services </b>that bring people on a tour of the mountain for a set price. Our tour took us to the <b>Pillar of Hercules</b>, which was under construction but had a good view of Africa, the <b>caves</b>, a lookout that is famous for having the most tame of the famous gibraltar <b>monkeys</b>, and an old <b>Muslim castle</b>. The monkeys are probably one of the most famous things about the rock of Gibraltar and when one of my friends went his tour guide had a monkey sit on his shoulders. It looked awesome so I requested for our guide to help me get a monkey on my shoulders as well. He lured a very small cute one onto my shoulders but then a larger one jumped on instead! I didn't know how to get it to get off of me so I just stood there for a few minutes before my tour guide told me to just walk and it would jump off. He told me that I wasn't supposed to touch the monkey but that it could touch me but as I started walking it started to wobble so I put my hand up to kind of steady it, and it grabbed onto my arm in order to jump off. It was really large and very strong so it actually left a scratch and a pretty nasty bruise when it grabbed on but honestly it was completely worth it!<br />

While we were in Dublin, my family took a bus tour to the <b>Cliffs of Moher</b>. They're one of the top things to do in Ireland and they did not disappoint. The cliffs were around 4 hours away so it made for a lot of time on the bus, though we stopped a few times, including at some "mini cliffs" which were also very pretty. The entire bus ride was pretty honestly, there were a lot of cool views along the way. The actual Cliffs of Moher were incredible, though they were very cold and windy. By the tower at the highest point, it was so windy it was difficult to even walk forward. Despite the cold and the wind the Cliffs were definitely worth seeing! There's really not a lot else to say about them, but I think the pictures will speak for themselves.<br />

Hey y'all! So I got very behind on blog posts during my last month studying abroad because it was honestly so busy but I am back in the states now and finally have a bit of time to get all caught up on my posts from my last month of travels! In the beginning of March I met my parents in Dublin for a long weekend. We went to <b>Trinity College</b> where we saw the famous library and the Book of Kells. We went to the <b>Dublin Castle</b> which is really not very old but still cool. We also went to <b>Christ Church</b> and <b>St. Patrick's Cathedral</b>. We just did self guided tours for everything and it was all pretty self-explanatory. Then we went to the <b>Guinness Brewery</b> which was like 7 stories high and more like a museum about Guinness but cool nonetheless. We also toured <b>Kilmainham Gaol</b> which is the old jail which has major connections to the 1916 Easter Rising in Ireland which sparked the beginnings of their revolution. The jail was really cool but it was also really sad because it has a really rough history. It was really rainy and cold when we were there (and I was honestly not prepared) but it was a cool city overall.<br />

On Sunday, I booked a later flight to leave Rome so that I could stay and see the Pope. On Sundays when he is in town, he does this blessing called the Angelus, where he speaks for about 15 minutes from a very distant window above St. Peter's Square. I know for "Audiences" with the Pope people start lining up very early in the morning to get a good spot, and I had heard the Angelus wouldn't be that bad because he is so far away you can see him wherever you stand. I still got there pretty early and I just want to a mass in St. Peter's Basilica then hung out outside in St. Peter's Square. Being there as early as I was I was able to pick the closest possible place to stand where I could still see him and he was still so far away. I honestly think Pope Francis is incredible though, he is so holy and honestly just the most adorable man and he is doing good things for the Catholic church. So no matter how far away I was, or how long I waited (like 2 hours just before other people showed up to wait) it was completely worth it to see him in person and hear him speak. Technically I didn't understand much of what he said because he spoke in Italian and Latin but I kind of got the sentiment. </div>

Originally we had planned to spend half of our fourth (and last full day) in the ruins of Ostia Antica near the city, and the rest of the day in Rome but while we were in Rome we changed our plans and booked a guided trip to <b>Pompeii and Naples</b>. This was a little more expensive but completely worth it. We had to get up early and meet our tour guide in the Piazza del Popolo. From there we were split into small groups and we took a bus to the <b>ancient ruins of Pompeii</b>. Along the way our tour guides gave us useful information about the tour and tips for our stay in rome as well as fun facts about the places we were passing through. We had a local guide in Pompeii and it was really interesting to see and learn about. I was amazed at how well-preserved some of the buildings were, especially some of the pain that is 2000 years old and still visible on the walls! Most of the streets were still intact which made it so easy to picture normal people just living normal lives in the city back then. It was a fairly cloudy day but the rain held off enough that we still were able to catch a glimpse of <b>Mt. Vesuvius</b>. After our tour of the city we went to a little <b>pizza</b> place where you could watch your pizza being made. Pizza was included in the price of the tour which was really nice. After lunch we headed to Naples and unfortunately with such a quick trip we weren't able to really explore but we all went to the <b>National Archeological Museum of Pompeii</b>. There were a ton of cool pieces that were found in Pompeii and there was also an exhibit on ancient Egypt which was interesting too. After that we headed back to the city and arrived with just the right amount of time to grab some dinner before going back to the Air B&B to pack. </div>

On our third day in Rome we went on a guided tour of the Colosseum and the ancient Roman ruins. This was another tour we booked with "City Tours" and we all really enjoyed it! Personally I liked the Vatican tour a little better but I still loved learning about the ancient Romans and their traditions and the history of everything we were seeing. We toured the <b>Colosseum</b>, <b>Palatine Hill</b>, and the <b>Roman Forum</b>. The Colosseum was cool but my favorite was probably the Roman Forum because it was an area where people gathered and theres the remains of a lot of buildings so its super easy to imagine people actually working and spending time there in Ancient Rome. After our tour we went to the <b>Altare della Patria</b> which is this giant white building that kinda sticks out and it is the World War I memorial. It houses the tomb of the Unknown Soldier and has great views from the top. We didn't pay to go all the way to the top because we had limited time and we had already had great views of the city from St. Peter's Basilica. Even if you don't go all the way to the top you can walk to a really tall lookout area and see a ton. Afterwords we went to a <b>Latin Mass</b> in St. Peter's Basilica which was incredible. After mass we all went to get Gelato then took our time walking to dinner. We went to dinner at this super cute place called <b>Trattoria der Pallaro</b>. One of the guys in our group's parents had been a few years before and it is a little restaurant where you pay a flat rate of $25 per person and you get a five course meal of whatever the chef was cooking that night. The chef was this adorable little old Italian woman and she was so sweet! It was definitely the coolest meal I've had since being in Europe! </div>

Rome was the biggest trip I had planned for my semester abroad because its someplace I have always wanted to go. We missed two days of school so we had basically 4 full days in Rome plus a half day. We did a ton so I figured it would be best to break my trip up into parts. Our flight left at 6:30 in the morning on Wednesday so we had basically the entire day in the city. Unfortunately it took us forever to get to our Air B&B because none of us did a ton of research on transportation within Rome. After we found our Air B&B we were all starving so we went for some <b>Pizza</b>. We each ended up eating a whole pizza, and they were definitely bigger than a normal personal pizza (which was a mistake because we were too full later to eat dinner). Then we went into town to explore. Our goal was to find the Trevi Fountain but along the way we found the <b>Piazza Novena</b>, and the <b>Pantheon</b>. We made it to the <b>Trevi Fountain</b> then went to the <b>Spanish Steps</b> (which were honestly super crowded and not that impressive to me) and a little shopping area. To finish off the night we got Gelato. The next day we had a guided tour of the <b>Vatican Museums</b>, the <b>Sistine Chapel</b> and <b>St. Peter's Basilica</b>. We booked a tour through City Tours which was highly rated on Trip Advisor. I would definitely recommend a tour of the Vatican if you are ever in Rome because the museum is huge and overwhelming and its nice to have someone to guide you and give you background information. A guided tour is also nice because you get to skip the line, and the line to get into the Vatican Museums can take a few hours on a busy day. The museums were really neat but the Sistine Chapel was even cooler. It's amazing to see in person. My favorite part though, was St. Peter's Basilica. Being Catholic, I've always wanted to see it but I think it would still be just as incredible for anyone. It's massive and so so beautiful. It honestly took my breath away. After the tour we went to the <b>top of St. Peter's</b> where theres a nice view of the city. Then we got <b>gelato</b>, explored the town a little bit, and saw some things we had seen the night before. We also saw the <b>Piazza del Popolo</b>, which is one of the more well known squares in Rome. We finished the night at a super authentic Italian place where I tried a traditional pasta called "<b>Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe</b>" which is Spaghetti with Cheese and Pepper and it was so good. Possibly my favorite thing we had the entire trip. </div>

A few weeks ago my friend Jenna and I went to <b>Prague</b> for a quick weekend! I didn't know much about Prague but I wanted to go because I heard it was beautiful and I have family from the former Czechoslovakia. It was so beautiful it honestly looked like it was right out of a storybook. This was my first time staying in a Hostel and I have to admit it wasn't bad, and it was definitely worth all the money we saved. We did very minimal planning for the trip because we had been busy with midterms right before. So basically, we really didn't have much of a plan going into the trip, all we had was a list of "Things to do in Prague" that we found on google. We spent 2 and a half days in the city just wandering around. On Friday we walked around <b>Old Town</b> and saw the famous <b>Astronomical Clock Tower</b>. Then we went to the <b>Charles Bridge</b>, the <b>Prague Castle</b>, and <b>St. Vitus Cathedral</b>, and the <b>John Lennon Wall</b>. On Saturday we went on a free <b>walking tour</b> of the city and saw some of the stuff we had already seen, but we also saw <b>Wenceslas Square</b>, the <b>Medieval Market</b>, and the old <b>Jewish Quarter</b> including one of the oldest practicing synagogues in Europe, known as the <b>"Old-New" Synagogue</b>. It is famous for housing the "Golem" a medieval monster and protector that is supposedly in the attic. The tour was really great because we actually had someone to tell us about what we were seeing. After that we explored the city some more. We went to the top of the astronomical clock tower and later found the cutest little vintage shop. On Sunday before we went to the airport we went to mass in the St. Vitus Cathedral and then went to the Petrin Tower for some beautiful views of the city. On the trip we had some great food too! We went to <b>Cafe Savoy</b> which I had read about online and it had some of the best French Toast I have ever had. We also ate these really great desserts that is called a <b>Trdelnik</b> and its dough covered in sugar and filled with cream or ice cream! The weekend was exhausting because we did so much in such a short period of time but it was completely worth it! </div>

When our ISA group went to Sevilla a few weekends ago we also went to Cordoba! Sevilla and Cordoba are often visited together because they are relatively close together and both very important historically. We had yet another walking tour and also some free time to explore the city on our own. Cordoba is relatively small and also really beautiful. Our tour took us through the Jewish Quarter and to a very old Synagogue. Then we went to the Calle de las Flores which is famous for its incredible view of the tower of the Mezquita. Our tour finished with the Mezquita which used to be a mosque then after the "reconquista" (reconquest) of Spain, by the Christians, it was converted into a Church. This is one of the buildings that is most famous for its mix of both Muslim and Christian architecture and is such a good representation of the very multi-cultural history of Spain. The Mezquita is famous for its candy-cane like arches, but the main part of the modern Cathedral is one of my favorites I've ever been to because it is so beautiful. </div>

A few weekends ago our ISA group went on a weekend trip to Sevilla and Cordoba (my post on Cordoba will be up soon too!) We did a walking tour of Sevilla that included the Alcazaba which is the old palace. Its actually where the royal family still goes when they come to Sevilla. I went on a trip to Sevilla when I was in Spain a few years ago so I had already been to all of the places we went on the tour. The Alcazaba was cool to see from a new perspective because some episodes of Game of Thrones were filmed there so it was neat to see the places from the episodes! After the Alcazaba we went to the Cathedral which is the third largest cathedral in the world! Attached to the Cathedral is the Giralda, which is a really tall bell tower. It has really pretty views of the city. In the evening we had free time and went to the other most iconic place in Sevilla, the Plaza de España, which was built for the Ibero-American exposition in 1929. There is a little section for all the provinces of Spain and it was fun to see the Malága one! </div>

A couple of weekends ago our ISA group went to the city of Ronda which is honestly one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. It is famous for its old Bull Fighting ring which is the oldest in Spain and I believe one of the biggest. Its still used today but only for really big events. We went on a walking tour and it was really long but we got to see the entire city. Aside from the Bull Ring there was a cool church and a big Roman bridge and some old Arab Baths. Honestly my favorite part was the views. The Spanish countryside is so beautiful and Ronda is just a short trip from Málaga so it was the perfect day trip. </div>

One of the perks of studying abroad in Europe is that everything is so close together and its pretty easy to find cheap flights to other countries! A few friends from my program and I flew to Paris for the weekend to meet up with a friend of mine from High School. We got their Thursday night and stayed until Sunday so we had 2 full days in the city. On Friday we got up sort of early and took a train out to Versailles. Its a pretty quick and easy journey. We spent some time walking around the palace and it was so beautiful! My favorite part was the hall of mirrors because it was really pretty. Then we went to the Eiffel Tower to take pictures and went shopping on the Champs Élysees. In the evening we went to the top of the Eiffel Tower but the weather was really very rainy and windy and cold, so the views weren't all that great but it was still a cool thing to see! On Saturday we got up early and went to the Louvre for a few hours. The line was really long to get in but it we didn't actually have to wait for as long as we thought. We roamed around for a little bit but honestly the Louvre is so big that you really can't see everything. We saw the Mona Lisa and I had heard that it is pretty underwhelming and honestly it was but thats okay because I got to see it! After that we went to the Arch de Triomphe which is at the end of the Champs Élysses and did a little more shopping and went to Ladurée for Macaroons. Then we went to went to Notre Dame Cathedral. I got to go to mass in Notre Dame which was really cool too, though I didn't understand a word of it because it was in French. Being in France was really interesting because it was the first country I've traveled to that I didn't understand the language. It as a struggle but it was really interesting to, trying to pick up a few words and phrases. It was a very quick trip but it was so worth it and it was the perfect amount of time! We also walked over to the Moulin Rouge which was near the Air B&B! </div>

There is this hike in the province of Málaga called the "Caminito del Rey" which used to be one of the most dangerous and scariest hikes in the world. The whole hike is basically a walk on a pathway on the side of the mountain. They recently fixed it up and added railing so that its really safe and not too hard, but if you look at some of the pictures you can see the old pathway which was full of holes and didn't have a rail. I don't love heights so I was a little nervous and skeptical about it but it really wan't too scary and it was so beautiful. Walking across a bridge over the water between the mountains at the end was a little scary because it moves a little bit but other than that it was a really easy hike! The pictures don't do it justice, it was like nothing I've ever seen and it was incredible. Sorry for all the pictures but it was just so beautiful!<br />

Málaga is a really cool city that has both beach and mountains. I really like hiking and so I was really excited when we planned a trip last weekend. A lot of locals suggested el <b>Monte de San Antón,</b> which has a cool cross on the top. The problem is there are no guides on how to get there. My host mother mentioned that if we got off the bus at the same place we get off when we go to school then we would be able to just walk towards the mountain and that eventually there would be no more houses and we would just be able to hike from there. Well we got off the bus where we thought we were supposed to but the bus driver told us it was actually the stop before (the bus driver actually misinformed us, but that will come later). So we started to walk towards the mountain and then we ended up hiking part way up another mountain before realizing that it was not connected to el Monte de San Antón. We ended up walking up what ended up being someone's driveway before realizing it and heading back down. We asked someone on the mountain and they told us to walk through this neighborhood and eventually we would end up on the path to hike the mountain. We started walking through this really nice neighborhood that was on the side of the mountain and after a number of dead ends and some nice people in a restaurant that encouraged us to keep going we found the path. Honestly the majority of the hike was us walking through this very steep neighborhood. When we got to the actual trail there was a little easy hike then a easy path that we couldn't find so we took the hard path which was actually like straight up the mountain. But finally we made it to the top and the views were so worth it! It was so beautiful. </div>

Today we went to the nearby town of <b>Nerja</b> which is known for its incredible <b>caves</b>. Until I got there I had forgotten that I actually learned about these caves in high school because there are these ancient prehistoric caveman drawings in them. I wasn't really sure what to expect from these caves, I heard they were beautiful but I didn't expect them to be as big as they were! These caves were MASSIVE. I kinda felt like I was in the lost city of Atlantis or something like that going through these caves. Honestly they were like nothing I've ever seen. After we went to the caves we did a little bit of hiking then went to explore the town of Nerja. Sorry some of these pictures are kind of similar but it was just so beautiful! </div>

¡Buenas días desde Málaga! We arrived in <b>Malaga</b> a few days ago and are finally more or less settled in with our host family. Our flat is amazing. Our room has a little sun room area with an ocean view and we are directly across the street from the beach. We are within walking distance from the main town center where there is plenty of shopping to keep us occupied and about a 20 minute commute by bus to school. Honestly we couldn't have a more perfect location.<br />
<br />
Our <b>host family</b> is very welcoming and we really like them! Already I can tell my Spanish is improving because whenever we speak with our host family we have to speak in Spanish. I have made a point to ask a lot of questions if I don't know the word for something or if I don't understand something too which is helping a lot. Our Señora is Pilar (Pili) and our Señor is Pepe and they have really just been so awesome. We also have a little pet turtle named Seal that roams the house, it doesn't have a cage so we have to be careful not to step on it.<br />
<br />
Our first night Pepe took us on a little <b>walking tour</b> of Málaga and then yesterday they let us sleep in and then I went to church (which was very cool in Spanish) and then my roommate Bryce and I went shopping for a little bit before lunch. In the evening we had a walking tour of Málaga with our program group from ISA (International Studies Abroad). We saw a lot of the same things as the night before but it was nice to see them again and here things explained from a different perspective.<br />
<br />
Málaga is I believe the 4<b>th oldest city in Europe</b> so it has lots of history to tell and I am very excited to have these next few months to explore. I only have classes in the morning Monday-Thursday so I will have plenty of time to explore the city and travel around Europe.<br />

Sorry for another super dense post but <b>Toledo</b> was so beautiful! The last time I was in Spain we didn't make it to Toledo but I had always heard how pretty it is and how awesome it is because of all the history, so I was really excited. It definitely did not disappoint. We were supposed to begin the day with a Panoramic view of the city but this time of year Toledo can be very foggy and it was far too foggy to see anything so we went straight to our <b>walking tour</b>.<br />
<br />
Our <b>tour guide Mario</b> was incredible. He spoke very good English and did the tour in a very good mix of English and Spanish, switching easily between the two and making sure everyone understood what he was saying. He was hilarious (and he has his own tour company, if you are ever in Toledo, I would definitely recommend him for a tour). <b>Toledo has two parts the new part of the city and the old part of the city</b>, which has a big wall around it. Toledo used to be the capital and has a very rich history. Toledo is famous for its historic mix of cultures, Muslims, Jews, and Christians, co-inhabited Toledo peacefully for years, so there is a great mix of architecture throughout the city.<br />
<br />
We began by touring the <b>old royal church</b> of Los Reyes Catholicos, Fernando and Isabel, the king and queen who united spain back in the 15th century. It was really beautiful, and surprisingly pretty small because it was considered a church instead of a Cathedral, (the Cathedral is a whole separate building on the other side of town.) The church is now home to Franciscan Friars and it had the most intricate Nativity scene I had ever seen, complete with running water in a small river.<br />
<br />
We walked through the <b>Jewish quarter</b> of town and toured a Synagogue that embodied this mix of cultures. It was I believe the oldest Synagogue in Spain and Portugal and one of the oldest in Europe. It was built by Muslims so it had a very Moorish architecture style, though it was used as a synagogue. But there was also a cross inside and at one point it was likely used as a church as well.<br />
<br />
We also went into a section of an old church that holds <b>one of the most famous paintings by "El Greco" </b><i>("The Burial of the Count of Orgaz")</i><b> </b>who lived in Toledo for a majority of his life. There was no photography so I don't have a picture but the painting was of a rich man who did charitable works being received into Heaven. I'm going off on a tangent but the most interesting thing to me is that he included his son in the picture and put his signature where he painted his son, dating it not when he completed the painting but the year his son was born, as if to say that his son was his greatest creation.<br />
<br />
<br />
We didn't tour the big <b>cathedral</b> but we got to see it from the outside and it was incredible. We ended our tour in the center of town and then had free time to have lunch, shop, and explore the city. We shopped a little bit and then found a place where we could see the views, as the fog had finally cleared up, it was <b>picturesque</b>, exactly how you would imagine the Spanish countryside. Overall I liked Toledo much more than Madrid because it felt much less like a big city and you could really feel the history there.<br />
