Hi! New visitor here. Your sister Jennie and I went to high school together and after reading a recent post on my Facebook page about blogging, she told me about your blog. Thought I'd check it out. I actually studied in Spain (twice) when I was in college/grad school. My mom almost didn't let me go because she was afraid that exactly what you wrote about would happen...cliffs, Javier, sea breeze etc. Well, it didn't, but 5 years later I met an Austrian back home on Texan soil and a year later he convinced me to join him in his country of origin, where I still am 11 years later. It's not Spain but living in the Alps has been an adventure :-) Glad I discovered your blog!
