Hello Hello! Time is winding down here. Not that I'm counting down, but I know for fact that some of you are...(9 days?). I've started listening to Christmas music and busted out the ugly Christmas sweater yesterday. I'll be honest, part of me is excited to go home, mostly for the holidays, it was super weird to be so far away for Thanksgiving, but a lot of me is also not ready to leave. I love it here! Sunsets are beautiful every night, the climate is finally more agreeable, the food could use a little spicing up, but it's not bad, the people are friendly, and the lifestyle is awesome.
It's been fun to watch Spain get ready for Christmas! Toledo has been gradually hanging up Christmas lights across streets and setting up light displays over the past two weeks or so. I went to Madrid this past Friday with my friend Meg to go see the Lion King on broadway (which was AWESOME by the way, and entirely in Spanish), and we walked around a little before the doors opened at the theater and stumbled across a mini ice rink for kids. Upon close inspection, turns out the mini ice rink was really just white plastic with some cotton batting around the edges for "snow". There was a giant Christmas tree next to it as well and lights strung across the main street we were on. And the best part? Last night they FINALLY turned on the lights they've been hanging in Toledo. It was magical. All they need now is a light dusting of snow to top it all off.
See you soon!
