Only notes for now...

Don Quixote and Sancho with Muhlang & Cirino. We were touring Cervantes' home in Alcala, Muhlang's city. This statue is outside and we, like every other tourist, could not resist a photo.

I'm very sleepy tonight after a long evening last night and long day today; I have so much to catch you up on, but probably will not get to all of the details until much later. Here are the happenings of the past two days. I will return later to fill in the details. They have been quite eventful! (whoa... do I even know what day it is right now?)

Returned late

Sevilla/Cordoba tomorrow through Sunday! I am not looking forward to the 6 hour cramped bus ride, but I know seeing the city will be great. I'll sleep the entire bus ride, so I guess it's kind of nice for me. We'll get back late Sunday evening.

And then we will only have 5 more days in this amazing country. I absolutely can not believe it. Time has flown by far too quickly. I don't like it. I really, really, will not want to leave. I have great things to come home to, but I have barely scratched the surface of getting to know Madrid. I'm a little sad about it.

But I know I will return here. And I will continue to learn Spanish.

Me encanta mi vida en Hattiesburg, pero creo que estoy enamorada con Espana. La gente, la vida, el parques! Me gusta viajar y conocer nuevos lugares. Es muy romantica! Quiero volver a europa muy pronto. Ten un buen noche y te veo muy, muy pronto. Gracias por tu apoyar y amor.

Abrazos...
