My last week in Sevilla wasn't too eventful, as it was filled with studying for and taking finals. The last day of finals for everyone in my program was last Thursday, and on Thursday night CIEE threw a big party for everyone (all 200 of us) at a restaurant called Rio Grande, which is located right on the river across from the Torre del Oro. There we were able to say goodbye to all of our friends and teachers, and the staff of CIEE, while getting fancy horderves and drinks. It was a really great event for them to throw for us. After the party we headed across the street to our favorite bar, Long Island, to get some drinks and say goodbye to the bartender Pedro that we'd come to be friends with over the semester. After a while of hanging out there, we walked to the Triana bridge to get churros and chocolate one last time at the churro stand, which I am definitely going to miss. We sat on the bridge and enjoyed the view for a while before heading to Buddha (a discotecha) for the last time. Although we had a flight the next day to Rome, it wasn't until 5pm so we were able to stay out really late just like old times. It was a really great last night in Sevilla, although it was sad to say goodbye to everyone, especially the Spaniards who I made friends with and the Americans who don't live in Wisconsin. The next morning we woke up, packed for our week-long journey to Rome and Athens, and headed to the airport!
