It's the little things

It's definitely the little things that make being here so much fun...

Like finding tea with a very suspicious brand name...
Like rummaging through about 30 different animal puppets at the mall to find the one that wasn't scary (spider), random (cow with 3 udders), or way too hard to say in English (ostrich)

Like getting ragged on by an old lady at the bus station for wearing flip-flops on a 75-degree day... and seeing her reaction when she realized I spoke Spanish (and then of course becoming her BFF on the ride home).

Like having a random stranger take your picture at the park and come up with THIS:
Like THIS GUY (at a regular bar, people):

Like finding the humor in really unfortunate events (that's a re-enactment of her stolen purse and the trash can it is probably lying in after some gypsy took her stuff):
Having a blast in Spain, everyone. After a bout with the flu, I am back in action and trying to plan some fun weekends! Going to see my first bull fight this weekend - eek! Mom and Dad are coming on my birthday for their tour of Madrid! November hopes to bring a trip to Scotland and my attempt to cook a Thanksgiving dinner for my roommates.

Sorry these are so dreadfully short, but I've been really sick and busy with work and school. I hope to have some more interesting blogs soon!

Love and miss you all.

Glad you're feeling better. I thought I'd leave you a comment, since I have WiFi and it works, por final!
