Hey Sam Nana sent me your up-dated blog, very interesting reading. Sounds like your having fun, thats all part of your experience. Hook me up with your blog, I would love to hear more.
Love Uncle Jimmy
How awesome! Hi Sam! Your Mom forwarded your blog site to me and I love hearing about your adventures and seeing the pictures. Fernando, eh? oooh, I like that name! I just spent some time with a man from Madrid who told me the best Paella in Spain is to be found in Valencia and Alicante. Have you had it yet? And you must have some sangria with it! I'm so glad you are having such an amazing and wonderful experience! I hear you are going to Granada soon, too. That will be sooo awesome. Make sure you go up to the highest point in the old city and watch the sunset. Ahhh, Espania!!! Have fun! Love, Cathy
hi Sam, As always I really enjoy your messages. What a great experience you are having.
I had a great weel end thie past week end. I went with Patty and Randy to Nickys graduation in Athens. It was my fist grand child graduating from college. and I know that there will be many more.
I drove to Patty's on Fri afternoon and we took off for Athens about 4. We stayed in a cabin about 20 miles from Athens. A quaint little place. After partying with Nicky we arrived at the cabin about 11. There was another couple staying there too. Parents of one of Nicky's room mate. One of her best friends. They were late in making reservations at the motels and everything was full. Thank heavens Nickys' room mate's family found this. We stayed in the loft up some steep steps. After the graduation on Sat we partyed again. I had been raining off and on all day. We got back to the cabin about midnite and everyone else was in bed. Thank heavens Randy brought his flash lite in because at 3 AM the electricity went off. A big tree fell over the lines at the entrance of the place. needless to say we could not shower or have coffee. But the people who own the place live next door and brought us coffee. We left there about 10 to help Nicky clean her apt and pack the rest of her STUFF. it sure was a fun time. i got back to otoville about 6;15. A little tired. I went to bed early.
You take care and stay safe
I lve you

Did I read..."the smoothest ice cream?" Wait til I share this with Mr. Handsome!!!!! I think I would really like Santa Cruz, Sam---so colorful and charming from the pictures!
I'm transported! Sam, I'm a little behind in reading your blog but wanted you to know there is not a day that goes by I don't think about you. Enjoying your text and great pictures---I'm transported! Love you!
Loving it! Hello Sam!
I am enjoying reading your blogs Sam. You are a great little writer and it is so interesting. You have seen so much in such a short period of time. Megan has a few friends over and Uncle Randy and I are in here watching Diners, Dives, and Drive through.
I will send more later, my eyes are getting heavy and hard to keep them open. Looking forward to more of your adventure stories. Love you,
Patty
You go girl! Hi Samantha,
How exciting! Time will go fast for you, so it will be a challenge to keep up your posts. But I will look forward to reading them. BTW, did you know that my brother's daughter, Jasmine, is also spending about 2 months this summer down in Mexico to strengthen her Spanish. Her program is for credit, but it is living and working with some community outreach program in Oaxaca, Mexico.
You girls are so lucky to have these opportunities!

In the White Nest Hostal in Granada, recently opened, you can find a young international group of like minded people, in fresh vibrant surroundings. You will have a great time to remember your entire lifeĀ ..Based at the foot of the Alambra, the area is both central and historical. I recommend you to stay in Hostels Granada and experience the life of Albaycin , Sacromonte and the heart of Granada itself.
You are such a good writer! That view of Segovia is breathtaking! I wouldn't mind hanging that picture in my living room! And those flowers in all the window sills, I bet all Spanish people are happy all the time because they get to look at such beautiful creations wherever they go :)
Hey Guys! My name is Sam and I'm a junior Clinical Lab Science Major at Michigan Tech. This summer I am studying abroad in Spain for five weeks! I set up this blog so you can read about all my adventures. ... full info
