Aspirations

So many pictures, so much ExCiTeMeNt!!!

With just over two weeks remaining until the twelve-hour flight, I sit in amazement at the fact that I am actually going! Having never traveled outside the United States (except Jamaica and the Caribbean), I employ only ideas and aspirations of the local culture and what to expect. Everyone I have spoken to has only good things to say about Spanish culture, cuisine, and customs. I anticipate Spanish culture to be very different from American, Spanish food to be extremely satisfying and appetizing, and Spanish architecture to make a statement exclusively found in this unique country. I can't wait to get away from work and embark on this exhilarating rite of passage!
