After a very long plane ride, I drag my swollen feet to the baggage claim. Lost, but confident in the large Madrid airport I make my way to find Hector. Hector´s kind and patient face greets me after a 55 min. delay. He is easy to talk to, gentle and friendly. In the heat of the day we make our way up to their top floor apartment. Danny, 7, has drawn me a picture with hearts and flowers to welcome me. Their family is so warm and welcoming. I also meet Lily, the beautiful and smiling madre (mama).
Up winding steps I make my way up to a small apartment loft, where Lucy, my roomate and I will be staying. We each have our own room sharing a bathroom and we share a BEAUTIFUL TERRACE! Wow, what a blue sky! I have already spent almost every morning out there and it is beoming a favorite spot as it provides both sun and a great view of the active Spanish community we live in. Right now is a good time to relax, Hector says, as the camp starts Wednesday! We have a lot of work ahead of us and will rarely have this much time.
So here I am España! I will now enjoy the sun, eat an apricot and listen to the pumping rap battle going on outside my window...after all, it is only 2am in España!

Hey sweetie...Is the Soul of Spain getting to yur blood yet? Is the musci making you dance in your sleep to salsa and tango? Are you finding some wonderful experiences already? The darling little spanish children adore their American teacher, I bet! Stay well, make good healthy decisions with your choices and know we are there in spirit and joy with you daily and nightly....Mama and Dad
ReplyDeleteHi, Cara,
ReplyDeleteI am so impressed with the school at which you are sharing your talents! WOW! I am so glad you have arrived safely, and I will read your blog faithfully. This is an amazing experience for you, Cara. Literally, the world is yours, and although you are not taking but giving, you will be blessed thousandfold, if that is even a word. You know what I mean.
