Well long time no talk. I apologize for slacking off! I am down to 18 days left in Spain and it is crazy how the time has flown. The crazy thing is, it feels like I have been here FOREVER. I am definitely getting ready to see my family and friends, and enjoy the rest of my summer in the U.S., (even though I will be moving Dean and I in to a new apartment closer to his new school).
Well I guess I better start with London! Hanna and I left for the U.K. shortly after everyone from the Summer 1 program left to go home. I don;t know what we were thinking, but we didn't arrive at the airport even close to early enough and we almost missed our flight. As in we literally got on the plane 15 minutes before it took off.... But we made it to England and were so happy to hear English for a few days, although it was very difficult to understand at times! Our hostel wasn't too bad either. The first night, we visited the Tate Museum which was phenomenal and FREE! It had exhibits over Afghanistan, poetry, art and tons of other stuff.

The second day, we had tickets for the London Eye, which is a giant ferris wheel that gives you a view of the whole city. It was awesome but a little nerve-racking, especially for Hanna! Afterwards, we went to Madam Tussauds Was Museum which was one of my favorite things that we visited. It was soooo worth the money! It was 5 floors of celebrities, political figures, a haunted house and a sweet ride the London's history. We tried to find Chipotle after the wax museum but had no luck so we ate at an arabian-ish restaurant that had the best hummus EVER.

Hummus!
Also on the second day we went to Abbey Road where Abbey Road Studios is and also where the cover of the Abbey Road Album was shot. It was soooo amazing. There was a wall right next to the studio where everyone could write things about The Beatles and of course we walked across the road!
The third day we went to the Modern Science Museum which was also free and awesome! It had everything from space info to advancing technology to human anatomy and beyond. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who visits the area! We also went to Kings Cross Station (Harry Potter Freaks) and Saw the changing of the Royal Guards at the Palace. We ended our last day in London walking across the Tower Bridge (which most people think is London Bridge but it's not!).
Me as a boy! Look kinda like Aaron ya?
So we are now back in Spain! We started new classes and I tested so well out of my last class that I got to skip a level. It kinda sucks though too because this new class is really difficult for me. Other than that, all is well. Missing my family, my friends from June and also Dani, Jake, Dean and all my Gamma sisters <3 I can't wait to see you all in about 18 days!!
