As I am packing up my apartment and being outside as much as possible in the beautiful Duluth weather, I can hardly believe that I will be leaving for Spain in a few short weeks! The last few days have been filled with buying tickets and attempting to make Spanish food in preparation for our trip! My friend and I made Paella last night, which is a traditional Spanish dish made of rice, vegetables, and seafood; we improvised with chicken, however!
I will be studying in Salamanca, a city of around 160,000 people, which is not much bigger than my hometown of Duluth. The University of Salamanca, where I will be taking classes every day, is known for the students who come to learn Spanish. I just found out that I will be living with a single woman in her 60s when I am there. I think the experience of living with in a home will be so incredible. I can't wait to be there!
Hi Rebecca, I am just checking in as I am in England at the moment with two of my students. Actually they just left for London for a couple of days. What are the dates of your departure? I am sure that you are getting excited about your journey. When the time approaches it would be nice if you gave us a tentative itinerary for your studies. Thanks and I will be following your blog. Howard.
Hi Rebecca, what's the status of your trip. I am excited to see your reactions and perceptions of life in Spain. Keep us posted at least every couple of days. Best wishes.

Hi Howard! Sorry for the late reply! Internet at my house has not been super consistent, so I try to get online when I can. I will be updating the blog as much as possible! Salamanca has been amazing so far, I can't believe I get to experience this.
