And it feels like ... Home!

It is our fourth day here is Spain and it seems like we arrived here so long ago. I think that's a good thing because I am enjoying my time here. I really do miss my husband Jason, but I am thankful for the new technology, my iPhone, and my iPad. Thanks to them, I get to see his lovely face at least two times a day. Home... I am loving this country it reminds me of Mexico, where I was born. The people, beautiful weather (warm in the day and cool at night) familiar spanish signage, buildings, and some of the food. As I look around I see my grandfathers, uncles, and my mothers face in them. My granddad died a couple of years ago and it makes me miss him so much more. Although their Spanish language sounds different, most words still sound like the way My family and I speak. I love this place so much that on our second morning here I already wanted to move here without even going out and touring the city. Ok, enough about this wonderful place. I want to send a shout out the the wonderful Dr. Eidson for putting this trip together. Even though we have had some hiccups along the way she has handled them so well. THANK YOU!! I am also enjoying getting to know all the great people on this trip. I think by the end of this trip I will go home with many more friends than what I came in with. Everyone is so different, in ages and personalities. All of us will be doing the same thing at the end of our college career, dealing with children, but some of us have different majors. I am glad to have met Alejandra a fellow bilingual major. She is currently earning her masters degree and will be starting her first year of teaching in August. When I start my first year of teaching I will be glad to be able to go to her for advise. Paris was great! I will cherish this great photo that our resident photographer Asia took. There were some major construction happening so we were not able to climb to the top. We did getting to take a boat tour and saw the main parts of the city of Paris. I really enjoyed Notre Dame, it was just magnificent! Well, all the architecture in Paris was also magnificent. You have to see it to believe it and I will post pictures as soon as I figure it out.
