The One in español

I must admit. My heart belongs to Spain. My birthday gift to myself (yes I reward myself for aging...gracefully) was a trip to Madrid.

I cannot explain how happy I am to be in a place that is eternally sunny, has the happiest people, dances with passion, and puts fruit in their wine.

After taking Spanish in university, I still chose to move to Italy. What was I thinking. However, I do get some weekend trips in to the great country that reminds me of the American West, yet has everything I love about Europe. And a Starbucks!!!!

Yes, I did visit a bullring though I am completely against bull fighting. I ate in the Museo de Jamon, though I have been a vegetarian for 5 years. I saw flamenco twice and I still want more. I ate churros con chocolate every morning. I enjoyed walking in a crowd.

Ahhhh...Spain.
