Preparing for Spain!

It's semi official, I've got my flights set up so my trip to Madrid is happening for sure (fingers crossed). The past semester has been pretty maniatico, and the planning for this trip has almost made me forget that I'm taking off for something crazy for cinco meses (mid-January to mid-June). Researching Spain keeps the luster, though, I recommend Ghosts of Spain (Tremlett), The Sun Also Rises (Hemingway), The New Spaniards (Hooper), and The Hive (Cela) for anyone who has time to read. I just got a trusty camera pal and you will hear from Dieter loads in the future! The preparations are far from over sin embargo--for now no tengo nada set up--not my homestay, classes, or internship. Vagabundeando como siempre... xx
