PRIMERA HOLA DE ESPAÑA

This is my first HOLA from España.  I am sitting on the bus right now typing a message to you guys in a Microsoft document so that I can contact all of my lovelies right away.  We had a safe and swift flight, there was a bit of turbulence but everything was okay.  We ended up flying over Canada for a bit which seems kind of odd because I flew from Detroit to Atlanta to fly back north?  Oh well, we ended up in SPAIN.

I am the only one awake right now, except I think Carline is up too.  Everyone else, I think there are ten more, are napping.  We are en route to meet our host familias, that is our next destination.   It appears that I have a host mother named Maria Dolores something something.  That is all I know about the house I will be staying at for the next nine months.  Holy cow! 

We went to a café/tapas bar/ restaurant about an hour ago to stop and get a drink and use the bathrooms.  I ordered jugo de naranja—orange juice.  The freshest organge juice I have ever had, straight from oranges.  Literally.  I saw them squeeze the oranges right in front of me. 

I already “befriended”  a Colombian professor of philosphy, the bus driver and the rest of my american friends.  Take that mom and bill!

I have to go,

It seems like we are slowing down! 

What an exciting feeling,

Love,

Mara

The Birth of the Blog.

Before I start giving my Blog the works, i.e. updating my "About Me" section and entering very very serious quotes that sum up my life's goals, let me know if you can easily access this blog and if you can read this post clearly.  If you cannot comment right on the blog, e-mail to notify me.
Abrazos (which means "hugs" in spanish and that is how you sign-off on letters/e-mails),
