It's been a while...

 I'm sorry I haven't written in so long, I was really busy while home, and have also been super busy since returning to Spain. I'll just write a brief summary of everything that has been going on over the past month. First, I want to comment that my trip to Valencia (pre-hospital) was wonderful. It is a great city with a really interesting science museum that they call La ciudad de las ciencias. There are multiple, futuristic looking buildings each dedicated to a type of science. It seemed like we could have been in Star Wars! We rented bikes one day with some people we met in the hostal which was also alot of fun!

My trip home for Christmas was really nice. It was great to see my family and friends. I spent 2 weeks at home and then went to NYC to spend New Years with my friends from college. Then back home for a couple days and two days later I left for Spain.

Dad's side of the family. Mom, I don't have any from yours :(

Now I am back in Badajoz and am getting used to being here again. I lost some of my Spanish while I was at home, so now I have to practice alot! I am making plans for lots of trips now, including Salamanca this coming weekend and Lisbon in February. I also have Mallora, Germany, Denmark and the Running of the Bulls in the works for later this year!
