The day I’ve been dreading has finally arrived—the last day in Barcelona. Back in January when we arrived, April seemed so far away. Four months seemed like an eternity, and I thought that maybe I’d be ready to go home by the end. I couldn’t have been more wrong. These last four months have flown by and I’d give anything to be able to stay here even for just one …
