The Rain in Spain...

Hello family and friends...and whatever other person might have come across this and decided to read it...

Happy day! Today it rained ALL day, it was lovely. I LOVE the cold weather, although I decided that its a love-hate relationship because I don't like bundling up because by the time that I walk to class and enter the building its super HOTT! So then you have to take off the many layers on, but then to go outside you put it all back on...and if you know me I'm not a big fan of being hot hot...just comfortable. But most of all I like the cold/rainy weather! Its supposed to get much colder too, which if thats true we'll all freeze! Because it is already cold here!

Well I had an absolutely fabulous weekend! My dad flew in on Friday afternoon and I met him in Madrid, and we hung out for awhile! We saw the Royal Palace, the Plaza Mayor, and just walked all around...we even enjoyed a Starbucks!




So fun story about this is that my dad studied Spain when he was in high school and he studied Paella (rice with seafood in it!) and he told himself that someday he would get to Spain and eat it...so here he is eating Paella in the Plaza Mayor in Madrid with me! :)

We went on a day trip to Segovia, which is an old roman city and we saw the Aqueduct which is 2000 years old! It is NOT held together by anything other than gravity! amazing huh?!

We then saw the great Cathedral in Segovia, as well as the Royal Palace. The city is beautiful and we got some great weather to be walking around and enjoying it! :)
Enjoying some me and dad time!

I loved having my dad here and just for him to be able to know my life here and meet my friends was really cool...I am so thankful I got to see him....
Well I am quickly fading, but I have a lot to share with you about what I'm learning and some ways to be praying...but for now here are some fun pictures and info about life up to now!
Love to everyone and I hope you are doing well!
