Sundanced

We finally made it out to Sundance/Aspen Grove to take pictures of fall. It comes and goes quick so I was glad we made it out in time.








The entire time we hiked I had my heart monitor, it was a bit of a hassle but it was totally worth the hike.

Fall fell!

Turns out I hate dance parties. And I don't care!

The Roadtrip: Portland to Seattle

We wanted to take a trip with Alex before he left on his mission, so we flew to Portland, OR and drove to Seattle, WA and found fun things to do along the way.



The entire day before the trip, I was sick on the couch, throwing up, and feeling completely miserable. We flew to Portland and I barely made it onto the plane. We took off and I took some medicine and fell asleep the whole time. We landed, ate, and hiked to some waterfalls. Within a few hours of being there I felt a lot better.

We made it to Seattle in good time. We had a lot of time to explore the city and the water's edge. We went on a harbor cruise tour

And we ate at a really cool seafood place where they dump your seafood onto the table and you eat it with your hands, a bib, and a wooden mallet.

We saw Seattle from the Needle during a nice storm

Went Kayaking

Went to the market


saw the EMP museum

And went to the aquarium

It was all in all a great trip
And we even saw Soren!

Basque Country

To end our Spain Study Abroad, we took a weekend trip to the Basque country. Started off in France and stayed in San Sebastian, a place where I could happily retire.





We all ate lunch at this little cafe in Burgos, it was such a cool atmosphere.







Blood Sausage, not as bad as it sounds...it just messes with your head to eat.

Some of the group!





I dressed right






Took this picture right as someone walked into the bathroom...it made for a SUPER awkward moment.

This was one of my favorite trips, the entire time in Spain was incredible and I really will remember it forever. Pictures can't do it justice.
