Hola!
We have arrived in Barcelona! But I want to tell you about my last few days in Rome first.
Tuesday we had our Art History exam. After studying all day long and exhausting our brains, we decided to celebrate with one last night of karaoke at Scholars. It was so nice having a night without our noses stuck in textbooks.

Wednesday was a day that I had been waiting for since arriving in Rome: Audrey Hepburn day. Katie, Michelle, and I discovered we all have a love for Miss Hepburn and thought we should pay tribute. So us three (along with Ashley) began Wednesday morning with breakfast at the Tiffany’s right next to the Spanish Steps. Then we had our Roman Holiday: gelato at the Spanish Steps, a stroll down Margutta Street, staging pictures at the Trevi (hair cut scene), Pantheon (restaurant scene), and Roman Forum (sleeping scene), and of course putting our hands in the Mouth of Truth. It was so great to take one last walk around the city before leaving. (The pictures from the movie were found by Michelle. She get's full credit for all the hard work)
Wednesday night we had our farewell dinner with the CEA staff. They felt bad for all the computer problems that they’d have, so they took us to a pasta tasting restaurant. We had wine, four different types of pasta, and dessert. It was so fun all having a meal together.
Thursday was check out and our Italian final. We said goodbye to the CEA staff (Andrea was even crying!). After some more packing and organizing, we had everyone over for a last night in Rome. It will be so weird being apart from everyone during break. From Austria to Croatia, to Ireland and Spain, we all will definitely be covering the map these next few days.
Today (Friday) Pretty much consisted of Michelle, Kate and me arriving in Barcelona, getting settled into our hostel, eating at a German Restaurant (I finally got my cheeseburger fix), and walking around. We keep accidentally speaking Italian to the Spaniards. It’s really difficult getting back into the Spanish mode, especially with the Catalan dialect being so different from what the three of us know. More Spanish updates to come!
