Day 10 - March 27th, 2024 - The End.

The last day of the JHS Europe Trip 2024 started the moment Day 9 ended, because I was part of the group that was leaving at 2:45am local time to depart for Aeropuerto Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat for our first leg of our trip home. From Barcelona, my group traveled to Aeroporto Humberto Delgado in the capital city of Lisbon in Portugal. From Portugal we would fly direct to O'Hare International Airport in Chicago and begin the final leg of our journey from O'Hare back to Jefferson. 

The group that flew into O'Hare from Portugal was tired from the long day of traveling, but as we were all waiting in line for the Customs checkpoint at O'Hare, a lot of us were talking about all the fun things we did and all the fun we had throughout our trip. For many of us, it was the first time we had ever been to Europe. 

Overall, the trip was an amazing experience. To have a chance to experience the sights, sounds, and flavors of France and Spain was truly incredible. The experience of a 10 day trip through Europe that started in Paris and ended in Barcelona gave everyone involved a truly special journey full of great memories that will last a lifetime.
