Day 29-31: Finals, El Escorial, and Freedom

On Friday, we had our final exams and oral exams!
Both went well and I am so excited that they are over.
Now, all we have to do is relax and enjoy Spain with no stress.
Freedom.

On Saturday we toured El Escorial and another castle.
Both were absolutely beautiful. 
El Escorial was a castle that is now a monastery and the burial tombs for the royalty of Spain.
We couldn't take pictures inside, but I got some beautiful ones outside.

Today, we went again to the Rastro, the huge flea market.
Found a lot of great deals this time!
Adair, Mama, and Lillie get ready for the genie pants!!!!!
They are absolutely hilarious.
and comfortable.

And Happy Father's Day to my Dad!
Wish that you could have come with me on this trip.
My favorite memories are traveling with you.
I love you!
