I safely arrived in Spain this morning around 8AM. Gave Mom & Dad a nice wake up call at 2AM to let them know I arrived safely. For the next four days I will be in Madrid, and then I will move in with my host family! I did a bit of exploring today, but am very tired and can't wait to get into bed after dinner! You would think I would be heading to bed pretty early, but typically dinner does not start until nine or ten o'clock in the evening (Dad wouldn't like this too much)!
When I arrived to the hotel today my room hadn't been cleaned, so I had to ask housekeeping to clean it in SPANISH. Needless to say, my Spanish skills weren't too rusty and the room was cleaned right away! It is so nice to finally be able to immerse myself in the Spanish culture and I am really going to strive to become fluent by the end of the journey.
If I am being perfectly honest, I miss home very much, but am most certain that this will be such a wonderful adventure and I can't wait to share it all with you! Today whenever I had any doubts, I just thought of how proud Gram and Pops must be up in heaven to see me making my dreams come true. I am also very thankful that Mom and Dad have always encouraged me and supported me to do whatever I wanted to do. Be it going off to China, Indiana, or Spain--they've always been behind me. So, thank you Mom and Dad.
That's about all for now! I will continue to keep my blog updated as often as I can to keep you all posted! Hasta luego (see you later)!
Besos (kisses),
Lindsay
