Farewell

After a painful goodbye to Valencia, we were headed back to Madrid. The spot to be at was always Gran Via, so as always, my friends and I hung out over there. Just walking around was always fun, but honestly I walked so much when I was in Spain, it shouldn't have been humanely possible. We had dinner at the Intercontinental with the Qatar ambassador. It was interesting, nonetheless. But after that, my friends and I took a taxi back to Gran Via and hung out there some more, then we came back to our hotel to relax for a bit.

 We later met up to go get pizza and just walk to the park. As I keep saying, the most fun part is walking around and just studying the scenery, despite my feet hurting all the time. We found a park near the hotel about a street away and sat on the benches to eat pizza. It was really cold that night but I still enjoyed it. We were out late that day since it was our last day, I think we were up until 4 am that day. It's really funny how you expect to be doing way more activities then you actually end up doing, because we almost always just end up simply hanging out.

It was a really great experience being in Spain. It's probably the most fun I've ever had visiting a country. It was just so beautiful all around, and there was so much to look at and do. It's a really free place and you can tell that the general mindset of the country is pretty open minded so it was great just being there. It was sad having to leave and I still really miss it. I hope to one day be able to visit again.
