Well, I'm home home. In south Florida. And damn, does it suck. okay, it's really nice to see my parents and home again, but it sucks because you can't really compare being in the Colosseum one day and then sitting at home in front of your laptop a few days later.
Or being rewarded with amazing macarrones after running your ass home in 100 F weather and then having to run back on a ridiculously full stomach 30 minutes later. I miss Sevilla more than anything else, especially the fun we had as a group, Mama y Papa, Andre (soft), and the city itself.
My biggest regret is that we didn't go hard enough, enough times. I can count on one hand how many times we did it big, and that's not enough for me. At least Andre and I tried to explore the city a few times, but I feel like we didn't do it justice. Seeing the Betis game would have been nice, too, but my sleep got in the way of that. We were also at a disadvantage as 6 weeks, no 5 weeks is just not enough time to live in that city. I envy the people who got to study abroad for 3-4 months. That's real living. And that's real money, too.
A weird thing was how rich I felt in Sevilla(well not rich, but I didnt worry about money as much) as compared to now back at home. It's like every dollar counts, but for some reason the Euro doesn't.
Not that I'm upset about that. If I had been my normal, frugal self in Europe, I would have had a horrible time.
Another major regret is the lack of souvenirs I bought. For some reason I forgot like everyone. I am actually really sorry about that, guys. The fans would have been a great investment, as Andre said, but I just kept putting it off. Stupid.
Oh well, next time I go, I promise I will get shit for everyone I missed this time. Cuz I'm definitely going back. Fo sho.
And then I'll revive this blog...so don't sleep on me, guys. Actually, you can. It may be a while.
Hasta luego, tios.

:(
Well, this is it. Im about to spend my last night in europa for this trip. Hope you all enjoyed the blog. My bad for not writing more often, but internet access without your own laptop isnt too cheap. I probably ended up paying around 40 dollars in total for internet access this entire summer. Which, if you think about it, isnt too bad, so i dont feel bad since its a necessity. Ive definitely got a list of things to remember to do/bring for the next time i go on a trip like this. Which if anyones interested, bring your laptop, itll be worth it for all the places that offer wifi, pronounced wee-fee in espana. And also book everything in advance, dont wait till the last minute like me and ull save urself a lot of hassle.
Anyway, since this blog isnt a manual for travelling abroad, ill just sign off and say thanks for reading, and i love u guys and cant wait to see most of u when i get home. My flight is from roma at 1135 am and i get to miami intl at about 935 pm after a nice connection in ohare {which makes me wish that i was spending a few days in chi-town} and then a whole lot of sleeep and catching up on the internet shit ive missed. Like kanye songs and shit haha.
Well ciao yall, next time i write will probably be in America. Who knows, maybe i can resurrect the blog the next time i go to europa, when i will definitely visit sevilla and mj, alicia and maybe even tiphanie?
Hasta luego

roma
buongiorno italia, or roma to be more exact.
i met up with 2 brothers last night, cam and blake, from sactown and we ended up seeing almost all the sights in roma today. 730 am and we got our roma pass and headed straight for the colosseum. who else can say they were the first people inside the colosseum for the day and took a shit in it? ok, probably the people who work there, but still, it was really nice. we also got to check out the pantheon, the trevi fountain,( a huge clusterfuck, but still really cool), walked around palatino hill, and capatoline, got ripped off with shitty 4.50 pizza slices and basically stayed really productive, which was nice for a change.
now im in the kitchen of the hostel with cam just making some pasta from our supermarket and taking it easy. i really wanted to upload some pictures of today but this baby laptop sucks and wont upload my pics.
ps italian beer party tonight. its really cheap here, so i bought 3 different kinds to try out. too bad it never gets cold enough. what is with that? maybe im just temperamental but i cant remember at all he last time i had beer that was cold enough in europa.
im finna eat some pasta (with pesto, yes!) and maybe take a nice nap.
ciao bitches,
love
