blending.

fact.

the other day i was walking down the street and a woman comes up to me and asks me in spanish if i lived here.

YES. I AM BLENDING.

it took everything inside of me to smile and say no. i can only wish for now.

but the good news is, i am blending. my future hopes of living in spain someday are looking bright. Praise God.

it's true though. i'm blending. i don't get heavily stared at as much on the metro, though it still happens. AND i can completely fend for myself in the H&M dressing room. that's really all that matters, right??

I have three pieces of really good news. well, four.

The first: today during our class break, i discovered paprika pringles. holy crap. reason enough for me to move back to spain. i like them even more than chicken nuggets. THIS IS A BIG DEAL.

second: i found out where the nun sweets are hidden, so today we are going to go buy sweets from nuns in plaza conde del miranda. i'm excited.

third: i have a new plan of action for riding a moto. i'm going to pick one that i like from the rows after rows of motos that i see parked on my way to school everyday, and leave my phone number on it. it's worth a shot, right? it has to happen.

but if it doesn't happen in spain it can happen in.........

ITALY!!!

that's right. breaking news piece number four. I'm going to italy. Monique and I are going when classes are done and are visiting her family for another week. so that means, dear boone and america, i won't see you until mid/late julyish.

sorry.

but i love you.

wish me luck on my nun sweets, moto, and kike adventures.

brooke.
