This is just a quick update on how Spain has been.
I really like Spain a lot. The first reason I think I like it so much is the food is awesome. We have had no bad food here. I'm sure it's because it all has pleanty of fat and salt and stuff!
We brought in the new year in the Plaza del Sol, the center of Madrid, with thousands of drunk Madridians and tourists. We ate 12 grapes with every stroke of the clock at midnight, the traditional way to ring in the new year.
So far, some of our favorite things have been wandering the Sol at night with it all lit up for Christmas, seeing the sunset at the site of an Egyptian temple that was transported here from Egypt as a thank you to Spain for helping restore the Pyramids, and seeing Toledo, a small city just south of Madrid that is still intact like it was back in Medieval times. It's been a wonderful time and I only wish there was more time to go further into the country and see Barcelona and other places. However, I'm starting to get sick of living out of a suitcase and will be happy to return home and jump back into daily life! Thanks everyone for your prayers and I'm looking forward to being back in a place where I'm no longer a minority! Haha!
Happy 2012,
