¡Saludos de los Estados Unidos!

Hello all! Just wanted to give a little update on how my life is going now post-Salamanca. I will admit that at first adjusting back to life in the U.S. took a few days. Bigger breakfasts, everything in ENGLISH, different time zone, and an annoying younger brother of course. Despite all of these changes, however, I was glad to be back in my own territory. Being in a foreign land tests your strengths and your weaknesses for sure. Sometimes you have to be able to land quickly on your feet, but that all comes with time. 

Nevertheless, there are times when I am reminded of my adventures abroad and I wish to be walking amongst the cobblestoned streets of Spain once again. It definitely was an experience that has changed my life and has made me view the world in a completely new way. Cliché, I know, but 100% true! I still don't know if I have processed everything that I have done, but I know one day I will look back on it with an unmatched appreciation. Also, returning back home has allowed me to assess just how much Español I've really learned.

Anyhow, I must be saying good night as it is past my bedtime (haha), but I just wanted to say that one thing that I miss so much from Europe is this: 
Yes, I miss the culture, the language, the people, and so much more, but I definitely miss the Häagen Dazs Macadamia Nut Brittle flavor :( This was my absolute fav flavor in the U.S. until it was sadly discontinued. But then I found it once again in Spain. :sigh: If anyone in Spain is reading this, please mail me some asap lol. 
  

Buenas noches!!
