Voy a encontrarme en Madrid
In approximately 45 hours I will board my connecting flight to be shipped out of the country. I am going to Madrid, a place that for years has only existed in my textbooks and fantasies. I can't help but compare my situation to the 1995 movie "Sabrina." Although I'm sure this movie was considered to be quite modern when it came out, unfortunately I do not plan on getting a perm, working for a fashion company, or even learning French in Paris. But I do plan on finding myself in Madrid, in a sense, as I meander throughout Picasso's original artwork, step into the Mediterranean Sea, or learn the flamenco. But seeing as how this is one of my absolute favorite movies, I'll begin my adventures with an opening quote, "And life was pleasant there and very, very simple. But, then one day, the girl grew up and went beyond the walls of the grounds and found the world..."

Oh, I am soooooo excited for you and not the tiniest bit verde with envy.
ReplyDeleteSay hi to Madrid for me - the noisy streets with crazy drivers, the cool sidewalks, the kioskos every 20 feet, the fountains, Retiro park, Plaza del sol, cool old buildings, El corte ingles, the Metro...
(Must stop, I'm making myself homesick.)
It will be overwhelming at first but GO FOR IT! - You will have such a blast.
Love you!
I'm glad you arrived safely. Let us know your schedule if/when you can. Whenever I can, I'll log into Skype and/or IM if you need anything. Love you.
