- I crossed off #9 by eating a leek. It's not that I hadn't wanted to eat a leek before, I jsut hadn't, well, leeks happen to be my host mom Marisol's favorite ingredient in everything. Like most other foods, I enjoyed the leek and look forward to having it frequently while here.
- #21 was crossed off this weekend when I mailed international postcards to a couple of my best friends from home, and to my family, however fingers are crossed I sent them the right way.
- #26 was crossed off this summer when I stayed up all night finishing up the mural I was painting at my local pool with my friend Erin. The mural took days, but on the last day we pushed through and stayed until 7am the next day, just in time for breakfast.
- #27 while in Portugal my roommate Mary and I visited the Museu Calouste Gulbenkian, it wasn't a large museum, completely feasible to read all the subtitles and not go crazy while doing so.
- #39 as a group, my program paid for all of us to go see a flamenco show. This time I wasn't sick so I was able to stay awake and pay attention for the whole, and it turned out to be pretty cool!
- #41 was no problem to get since eating tapas is basically a requirement
- #53 took a couple weeks here to get, wasn't hard, but there were a couple wrong turns in there and some missed stops
- #73 the whole portuguese thing didn't really work, but going to portugal did! (pictures to follow soon!)
- #82 Teatro Kapitol is a famous discoteca in Madrid that is 7 stories of late night craziness, I was lucky enough to have some of my friends in town from UST to go with along with my friend Harry and my roommate Mary
- #85 while in portugal we stayed in the #2 rated hostel in the world (it was awesome)
- #93 while semi successful, running on cobblestone is still not suggested
- #97 I have always been good at napping, thus siestas were made for me
As of now those are all I've accomplished, but there will surely be many more of them to be crossed off!
