Patrick arrived on April 2nd in Madrid! I picked him up at the airport and it was the most exciting day of my semester!! We bused north to San Sebastian and spent the first weekend relaxing in San Sebastian. April 5th we went to Bilbao to spend the night with Patrick's cousin, Erica who is studying abroad there. We woke up early the next morning and headed to ITALY!
We spent 12 days in Italy traveling through Rome, Naples, the island of Capri, Sorrento, Florence and Cinque Terre. It was the most amazing vacation for Patrick and I! On the evening of April 10th on the island of Capri, Patrick proposed! We were at a fantastic viewpoint looking over the ocean and a lighthouse while watching the sunset! It was absolutely incredible and definitely unforgettable!! That was the definitely the highlight of our trip! After returning from Italy we spent 5 days in San Sebastian because I had to return to classes. Patrick managed to find his way all around San Sebastian and practically became a local!
On Thursday of that week we took off on an overnight train to Paris, France! We spent 3 wonderful days in Paris and had an absolute blast! We took a boat tour, bike tour and then just wandered around on our own! Of course a pigeon would poop on my head while on the Eiffel Tower....that's the memory that stands out the most! :) Then we returned to San Sebastian for a couple more days of classes. On April 29th, I had to say goodbye to fiance so he could head back to the States. It was an unforgettable month together, which we now call the BME! (Best Month Ever!)
Congrats again, Kelly! We are so excited for you!!!
