I'm not sure if it's cool to update a blog while one is not in a foreign country, but I'll risk it. I've been home now for something like 17 days and I haven't really had a chance to think about Madrid very much. I've been busy with strep throat, Christmas, New Years, and other things. I think that is why so-called Reverse Culture Shock has not set in. I should miss being able to go out all the time and being able to walk everywhere, but I've gone out a lot at home and I can drive everywhere (which I love). I do miss the metro and will continue to miss it in Boston because the T does not compare.
Last night, I was reading my friend Amy's guide to Spain. She is going to Madrid this coming semester and reading about Madrid places and realizing I wasn't going back was pretty sad. I started making a list of good places for her to try. Most of my home friends will be in Europe this Spring like Amy. My friend Nicoline is already in Barcelona and I said goodbye to Emily yesterday. She's back in Paris until August! My good friend Jess is heading to Rome in a few weeks. So I hope that they all have great times in Europe and all enjoy their 21st birthdays...when you come back I'll still be 20.
