I thought I'd concoct another post after many requests to update the blog. Well here you are: I just returned this past Sunday from a three week vacation around Europe. I know what you're thinking- and yes I am incredibly lucky for the opportunity I had. The vacation started when my parents came to meet me here in jolly little Caceres. We had a very elegant "tea-time" (I guess you'd call it) with my Spanish host-mom. I then showed my parents around the old city of Caceres, and they reveled in the rich heritage (as everyone does when they arrive in Caceres) that this modest-appearing city possesses.

I decided it would be much easier to have this point of reference for everyone to follow my trip rather than responding individually to everyone and feeling as if I was missing bits and pieces each time I told the same story to someone new. So here it goes! I arrived here in Caceres the night of September 18th. All fourteen of us spent almost 24 hours travelling from DTW to Amsterdam, then Madrid, and finally to Caceres by bus. It was such a new experience for me. I was getting to know some of the people in my program because we were all together for the entirety of a ... read more
