And time keeps turning

Blogging and I have a love-hate relationship. Some days, I can't think about anything but it; I need to blog, it's like a drug. Other days, I forget I even have them. But like a faithful perro, it's always waiting for me when I come around again. True love, I tell ya.

I'm officially twenty now. I turned twenty on the sixteenth of Feburary (in case you care enough for next year, :) ). It was hands down the best birthday I've had. Birthday's in a foreign country have to always be awesome, no? Cheap liquor, free weekends, and few worries; it really doesn't get better than that!

Turning twenty at Paddy's. I love you guys!

I'll admit, there's a huge difference between turning a year older in a state over and turning a year older in a different country. My parents/family are six+ hours behind me; I'm pretty much responsible for myself and it's celebrations. I get to choose how much or how little people know about me and my birthday.

So this time around, I chose to let them know more. A lot more than usual!

On that sappy, over-sensationalized, garbage holiday we call Valentines Day (do I come off as bitter?), our group left for Sevilla (Se-v-A; there's an "a" at the end) and Córdoba for the weekend. They were awesome. Sevilla is a much bigger city and has an equal amount of important Spanish history incorporated into the city.

The Cathedral/Mosque in Córdoba.

The bridge was build by the Romans and still stands!

Crossing into Córdoba via Puente Romano

Two important things happened on this excursion: I realized Granada actually feels like home because I longed for it and was comfortable there (it's a pretty awesome city!). I also figured out that the people I'm with are possibly the most awesome people I could ask for. The destination is awesome, but the people are really the ones who make it. I could do a shout out, but I think they know who they are. I love you guys.

Let this selfie be my tribute to you guys (walking in the Juderia en Córdoba).

I'll be back soon!
