Adios Isa!

("Mi Hermana" Isabel y Yo)

Sunday is supposed to be a quiet day and a day to relax. This is exactly what my Sunday was. I woke up around 1pm, typical for me back home. (Despite how much my Dad hates that!) I then had lunch with my family, and said goodbye to Isabel, my "sister" here in Spain. She's 13 and her father lives in the US. She's going to visit him and his side of the family for about 2 weeks. Watch out St. Augustine and Knoxville! Afterwards I really just laid around, fell asleep again, and then went out to walk on the beach around 6. I came back, had dinner, and then went out again to walk and get some ice cream. I returned home around 11, and relaxed and went to sleep. Kind of a boring, but very relaxing Sunday. Something I really needed after a great, but long, week.

Considering how short this post is, I figured I'd respond to some of the comments I received on my last post.

To Phil - Spanish life is really great, the people are really nice and willing to help you with anything you need. My family is great and I don't think they have ever said "No" to anything I have asked. It's a very welcoming society in that you can walk into a bar and strike up a conversation with a complete stranger. In other countries, Americans can sometimes be sneered at or hated, but that is not the way it is in Spain. Anyone would love to talk to you and help you find somewhere to eat or anything else you might want to know.

To Cam and Other Friends - I really appreciate the attention that you pay to the blog. (especially you Cam!) It's great to know that people are reading and following along with my trip! I wish that y'all could all be here as well, but I'll be with you guys soon enough.

To Mom, Dad, and Aunt Felicia - I miss you guys more than anything! Mi familia! I thought I would give a shout out to my friends considering you should know that I miss you guys! I hope all is well in Dallas, New York, Florida, or wherever you may be.

New kids come tomorrow, and a new school week starts.
