Estoy in España

Just wanted to let you all know that I have safely arrived in Spain. I´m currently in Salamanca at the Pueblo Ingles program and truly enjoying myself. I have met some really lovely people from all over the English speaking world as well as spaniards from all of Spain, but mostly from Madrid. The first day was a bit overwhelming trying to get to know everyone and at least make a connection with everyone here. Tomorrow we begin the normal schedule of the program...4 hours of one on one sessions, one english speaker with one spaniard and then a few hours of group programs in the afternoon and then 2 more hours of one on one conversations in the evening. The program is surely intense for the English speakers I can only imagine how difficult it must be for the Spaniards learning English. I am having a fabulous time, the Europeans certainly know how to make a girl feel welcome and exist much more on my time schedule...lots of late evenings with chatting and drinks and long meals where everyone has a chance to get to talk and no one is in much of a rush. I can´t wait to find out more about those in the program. I´ll keep you all updated as the week progresses. Keep me in your thoughts and prayers. I love you all.
