Tommy's first post

Hey everyone! Thanks for checking out our blog! I am having a great time in Spain and I am missing everyone back in Minnesota. Spain is 7 hours ahead so when you guys are getting out of school at 4:15 it is 11:15 in Spain! So when everyone else is getting out of school I am going to bed. If you have ever been to Europe you would know that the time change is difficult but not that hard but the plane ride is really long. So…. to everyone who is visiting our blog you can leave messages or send me emails. Because I really want to know what is going on in Minnesota and it is hard to know what is happening when your almost half way around the world. I really like it when all you guys send me emails at [e-mail] or [e-mail]. Thank!

p.s. The nude beaches are great!

Wow!
Tommy-- I have asked my boys, Alex and Zach, to read the Blog... They are just a little younger than you but can learn a lot from someone like you. What would you say has been the biggest learning-- or the biggest suprise-- since you arrived in Spain? I'm sure my boys would love to know.... Say HI to your parents for me. Scott
