In Awe

Never in my life have I been so in awe of the natural beauty that God created. Today I, and three of my other adventurer companions, ventured to Ronda, Spain which is about an hour and a half away from Sevilla. Hallie and my madre told us about this little town the other evening at dinner because we were asking her about places to go hiking. She said something like, "Oh, yea I think there's somewhere where you can walk through." Boy was there ever. We had found out that there was a famous bridge there with a nice little hike. It was literally like something that you'd see in a Lord of the Rings movie. Everywhere we looked all any of us could say was simply, "Wow." I've lived in the mountains my entire life, and in my opinion where I live is one of the most beautiful places to spend my years. I've also ventured to a couple other countries and seen some amazing things. However, never, ever could I have imagined the sites that we encountered today. It's as if God Himself just painted the picture for us to behold like we never have before.

This was all such a relief. I say that because, as previously stated, I'm a mountain girl born and bred. Don't get me wrong, there are many things about the city that I enjoy especially in Sevilla. On the other hand, every part of my being has been aching to just feel and smell grass and to just get some dirt on my hands. I loved seeing the mountains today and getting to just breathe in lungfulls of fresh air. It eased my heart and made me feel so at home. I could not have asked for a better day, and I feel so blessed to have been able to have these opportunities and experiences.
