Hello wonderful friends and family...
I´m sorry I have not had a chance to write until now, my internet access has been limited to a few frantic minutes in a cybercafe here and there. I will be getting internet set up in my apartment in the next few days, and can post more often.
I hope everybody is doing well, I miss you all terribly!
So, here we go with a very quick and dirty update.
I spent about a week in Madrid, saw a bunch of art including the most amazing digital media exhibit, I can´t even describe it and do it justice, but I will dig up the names of the artists out of my notebook and post them sometime, you all must investigate because it was incredible. In Madrid I met a lot of cool people at my hostel from all over the place, a few of us went to a Real Madrid game which was lots of fun, I actually learned most of the rules and think I can finally appreciate a good game of futbol.
Madrid was great, I mostly wandered around on my own and got lost, which I enjoyed immensely. Now I am in Jaen, my final destination, and am convinced that this town is just my style. People describe it as a "ciudad pequeño, pueblo grande," small city, big town. Everyone here is so friendly and helpful. It is welcoming and laid back, and everything is closed between 2 and 5 so the whole city can just chill. It´s cheap and you can walk everywhere, and we found a great apartment in one day! Actually, Jaen reminds me a little of Athens... Which hopefully will make the transition a bit easier for me.
OK, I have much more to tell but no time at all. There are tons of little details I want to share, but it will have to wait until next time... In the meantime les extraño muchisimo, and take care of yourselves! Email me and let me know what´s going on. Also, come visit.
besos

It's good to hear from you! I found your blog through Mr. Bogg's blog. I am glad you like your new town. I am sending happy thoughts your way and wishing you the best! I love you!
Huzzzah! So glad to finally get some details, it was bizarre and dreadful (and totally unreasonable) to assume the worst about you on the other side of the pond pookie! Everything is going pretty well here, just trying to save some money and enjoy the free time I have to read and make lovely things. I'm so relieved that you love your new home for a year, it will make everything so much easier for you :) I know you're sick of hearing it, but please post pictures as soon as you can, I can't wait to see every detail. Olive you sooo much! Write again soon!
