Basque Country

So a week ago seven of us went to the AC Milan vs Real Madríd fútbol game!! It was incredible for these reasons!!

1. WE WON!! Madríd won 2-0
2. Both goals, scored right after one another, were scored on the side we were sitting on
3. I went with the best group ever:)
4. We totally participated in some mob action with some Italians before the game (police had to hold us back with shields because we were so hard core).
5. Christian Ronaldo
6. Christian Ronaldo with his shirt off. enough said.

Here are some pictures from the game





After the game on Tuesday night, we left the next morning for Santander, Bilbao, France, and San Sebastian.

Instead of going to every cathedral, museum and convent, we decided to hang out and play on the BEAUTIFUL beaches :)
A little taste of the beautiful countryside

The Basque Country in Spain is seriously one of the most beautiful places on earth. The countryside with its lush, green hilltops and its stone fences along the coastline was so amazingly beautiful. We had the opportunity to go to France since we were so close to the border, which was so much fun! Except for the fact that NONE of us speak any french.... and not very many people knew english or spanish.... so that was an adventure, but very very entertaining nonetheless.
