So it is official…I AM STAYING IN EUROPE JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER! I was able to change my ticket from July 2nd to the 14th for a very reasonable price, so now I have another week and a half of Burgos Bliss. Actually, that time won’t be spent in Burgos, but in Brussels, Amsterdam and Prague with my roommates Thais and Caetano, and our friends Rafa and Daniel. I’m so excited to have some more time over here and I’m definitely looking forward to visiting these three cities.
It was difficult to study for finals this past week, as my roommate and one of my best friends here, Monica, was leaving on Friday. It’s really weird that she’s gone because we spent every single day together, and I miss her a lot. It’s also making me realize that everyone will be leaving soon.
Last week was uneventful because we were studying, writing and doing projects most of the week. Saturday, however, was a lot of fun because it was “Noche Blanca” (white night), a night in which all of the museums, the cathedral and the castle are open all night long, and performances are done in the Plaza Mayor. One of the performances was especially cool. A crane held up a large, white, circular object and people were hanging from it and doing a choreographed dance. Everyone in the city came out and enjoyed the festivities, which was a lot of fun.
