I was walking to school today, wearing a light jacket and listening to music on a warm, sunny day that felt like it was straight out of September. It was just beautiful walking around Seville, taking the path that I take every day, over the bridge, past the fountains, and on the side of the cathedral. And I got emotional again. I realized this will be my home for just this week, this final week. It is hard to imagine that the end is near, and while I cannot wait to see family and friends, I don't want to leave. I've already started exchanging contact information with a few close friends here. I've met some incredible people, seen some breathtaking sights and had experiences I could never have imagined were possible. Studying abroad really does change lives. It changed mine.
And so I will begin to wrap things up here on Tirando Cobre. I know you're dying to hear more about Germany, see photos and everything. I don't have Internet at home at the moment, so it might have to wait until the weekend. But outside of Dachau, other highlights were a spectacular square in Munich, a view of the skyscrapers at night in Frankfurt, and palaces in Madrid, as well as the musical "Beauty and the Beast" in Spanish.
I'm not sure when I'll check in again, definitely at least once before the end of the week. I'll have some "looking back" type posts from home. For now it's back to studying for finals and tying up loose ends. See you soon.

Josh, I remember our conversation regarding your apprehension in travelling to Spain. We discussed a friend of yours who had gone and I told you it would be just fabulous and it was more than that. I feel for you in not wanting to come home but we are so lonely for you. You will go back some day and travel to other places.
It has been a joy to see you grow and watch all the events on Tirando Cobre. We will all miss them.
