From standing in the very center of Madrid to sketching at the Mezquita de Cordoba to the flamenco show to sketching at the Catedral de Seville, I think I can speak for all of us when I say that this was a truly memorable and educational trip. It's experiences like these that make us realize why we chose to study abroad and just how lucky we all are to be doing so. It may have been an exhausting week, but we saw and learned so much that the experience was once that will stay with us for years to come.
I mean, I'd say we look pretty happy!
(Ans there wil be more photos to come in the near future!)
