Well we worked hard, played hard, studied hard, explored hard, we packed all we could in such a short time its amazing, time passed much too quickly yet we all miss our loved ones and look forward to home. Torn we want to continue the journey yet get back to loving arms quickly such irony. Spain is a blessing to all of us, she has given us treasures to keep in our memories and hearts for all our lives. Her people have given generously, her beauty will never be forgotten, and her history will make us want more. Hasta Luego but not Adios I shall return to be sure you have more beauty to experience and I have to make it a part of me!!! Muchas gracias Espana!!! Suzanne... read more

Hola Que Tal? Well let me tell you alittle about Fubol in Spain WOW they LOVE IT! When there is a big futbol (Soccer for us Americans) game don't expect much except for in pubs, bars and restaurants that have tv's. It is amazing how everything pretty much stops when futbol is on and you can here the cheering anywhere you are at. It is a passionate part of Spanish life and they cherish it. The UH gang went to the France/Spain game in the Irish Rover Pub in Salamanca what a grand time we had (even though Spain lost what a let down that was) oh well we enjoyed, got caught up in the passion of it all and after the let down continue to enjoy. We wore our specially purchased shirsts and colors for ... read more
