Last Night in America

It is my last night in America, and I am up finishing my last minute packing. I had a nice last dinner with our neighbors, the Pavs, and all of their family. I've gotten some good tips the past few days from friends and family- so thank you to those who are reading!! It's been really helpful as I was clueless to a lot of things (such as the three ounce rule had to be in a one quart bag and taxi tips haha). Last night we went to dinner at Don Quijote with two other families, one of which was from Madrid. They were so nice and helpful in giving us tips and advice for our travels in Spain (my parents are coming in March). I asked the wife if she thought our family would stick out in spain as tourists...she laughed at that and said my mom looks quite european, but that my dad would be pretty obvious with his gringo self. She didn't quite finish telling me where I stood...probably not a good sign. But we got to eat some typical spanish food and my personal favorite was tortilla de patatas. It is similar to an egg omelette with potatoes cooked throughout the dish. Sooo yummy! I'm excited for tomorrow and to see what an international flight is like! It's my first time leaving the country, so this is just the start of an interesting semester. Next stop is in Espana!! Can't wait.
