For the first Sunday of our trip to Madrid, my roommate Nicole and I decided to end the day by watching the sunset at the Temple of Debod. We watched the sky change colors while being surrounded by so much history made the moment feel even more special.
The Temple of Debod is an ancient Nubian temple from the early 2nd century BC, originally built near Aswan in Egypt. It was gifted to Spain in 1968 as a thank you for helping save the historic Abu Simbel Temples from flooding. Knowing the history behind it made being there feel even more meaningful.
Being able to experience this was a powerful moment, and it reminded me how grateful I am for the opportunity to see in person the places and history we’ve only ever read about.
