mOndAy jUNe 4th

If i asked you if you wanted to see Spain, would you want to? It would be an optmistic chance for someone who has never traveled outside the United States. Well seven days from today I will be on a flight going overseas for the first time to experiance a paramount place in Europe. Buttlfies have invaded my stomach as the day to depart soon approaches to cross the Atlantic. I expect to absorb a bold feel for the Spanish culture and desire to expand my knowledge of their way of life. Another interesting feature i look foward to seeing are the events that take place from day to day.

I look foward to seeing a vast quanity of historical features. Spanish history is my profound reason for taking this trip. Conquistadors, Pablo Picasso, tomatoe fests, stampeding bulls, Gual and Francisco Franco have all flashed through my brain these last couple of weeks. I am aware of minor details and hunger to absorb more storylined facts.

The culture in Spain will be extremely different than that of the Alamo City. To witness the fashion, dances, bars, nightlife and food and then compare the two should indefinitely swagger my opinions, views and ways of our south Texas community. I can only contemplate the feelings and thoughts that my body will experiance as we set foot off the plane onto a foreign continent in the capital city of Madrid.

I hope to get an astounding learning adventure from my stay in Spain.
