Yay! Today is finally Tuesday and I finished everything! It feels great!  Erin and I are went into town to Revive Spa to get facials!! They were amazing! Then we grabbed some lunch and spent some time downtown.

Tonight was one of our last night out so we wanted to make it count! We started the night off a nice restaurant where we had some tapas and desserts!

Then over to the Irish Pub to Eugene and then we ended the night dancing at ELEPHANTE! It is a fun place on the beach!

Day 31 - Denia

Hello friends!

Back in Denia so that meant church this morning, which luckily wasn't until 11:30 so we got to sleep in :) I even slept through breakfast lol! Church in spanish is very interesting, but it is actually pretty cool!

We took our big group picture afterwards, it is a tradition for each Baylor group to take a picture here on these steps every summer.

It was a good last Sunday here in Denia, so sad to go, but excited to see my friends and family! I will miss my roomie Lauren!

The rest of the day was spent out by the pool and studying for our final tests we have coming up. The end is coming up so fast!

Day 30 - Granada

Second and final day in Granada, so we had a lot to do!!

First off delicious breakfast at the hotel and then we made out way toooo.... LA ALHAMBRA!!!

It was amazing and we spent almost THREE hours there, because there is SO MUCH to see, and it is all beautiful!!

Erin and I saw LOTS of Lions as well, because they are the sign of ROYALTY!!! That is right <>

Also the gardens there were insane and the flowers were HUGE!! Smelt amazing!!

After this we had some more free time in town and so we grabbed lunch at a place where I got a super yummy 'ham and cheese toasted sandwich' followed by a 'piece of chocolate cake' :)

After this we looked around town some more and then headed back to Denia! Loved Granada, but wish I could have stayed longer!

Day 28 - Denia

Hello Friends! Today is Thursday, but it is like Friday because tomorrow we are going to Granada! 

After classes me and Erin walked to town because I had and appointment to get a pedicure at 1pm :) My feet were SO thankful!! The lady at the nail salon asked me if I was Spanish because I spoke so well! It was really exciting! 

Then I met up with Erin and we headed to a small cafe where they had wifi and we had some yummy treats, and she Skyped a friend and I did some homework :)

She had a croissant with cheese, ham, lettuce and tomato and I had a chocolate chip muffin :)

After our snack we went to a couple shops and then had some real lunch at a restaurant outside by the port. We shared some pasta carbonara and it was soooo good! 

We headed back to the escuela and had dinner and got dressed for the evening! First we went to this place at the port and had some drinks, then we went dancing at this tri-level place and that was really fun! We met up with Daniel from the beach there and I even got to hear my fav song right now, MR.SAXOBEAT! 

This crew can dance allll night! And that we did! We rolled in at 6:15am it was hilarious, because when we were walking up to our residencia we heard the rooster start crowing and we were like this is a sign we were out aalllll night! lol!

Anyway great night and lots of memories!
