I thoroughly enjoyed everything on this trip. Below I've included my Top Ten list.

10. The City of Florence, especially being able to see David

9. The City of Carcassonne, France, mainly because I could immerse myself in the midievil culture there.

8. Seeing Rome, the Eternal City, and seeing all of the ruins and remains of the Empire.

7. Seeing Paella being made

6. Staying in the French Rivera, though I didn't see any stars.

5. Staying with my Homestay Family, The Essirards. They let me really understand what typical French life is really like.

4. The Illuminated Fountains of Barcelona.

3. The Vatican

2. Being able to attend Mass during free time in Montsurrat, though I couldn't understand anything that they were saying.

1. Seeing how close my delegation grew together and always supported each other, especially on the last night when everyone needed it most.

I've also added some of my personal favorites.

Favorite City: Barcelona or Rome

Favorite Hotel: Hotel Terminus in Carcassonne, France

Most Memorable Event: When I got locked in my hotel room in Florence and I even had the key with me. And by the way, I did not lock myself in because I know that I turned that lock every single way. Click here for the whole story.

Favorite Event: Seeing the Illuminated Fountain of Barcelona at night

Favorite Food: The Tiramisu from our Tuscan Cooking Session

Favorite Roomate: Margaret McCleroy (Because we just had so much fun swapping stories and we always laughed), Jennifer Mark (Well, we always laughed too and we could talk about really serious or funny topics), or Amanda Gilbert (She was my roomate when I got locked in my hotel room in Florence).
