And so it begins...

Well, I'm all settled in for the semester! Unfortunately I don't have too many pictures to share yet, but I'm headed to the beach for the week with my program and should definitely have some after that!
Emily and Chef Kevin (read: Harry & David mix) made me delicious birthday pancakes before we met up with the lovely Jessica Reid for lunch.  Later, I was able to celebrate with the Claremont kids before leaving!
Here is my room in Madrid.  I have the room to myself, but one of my good friends lives in the next room, which is great for chatting and planning during the siesta.  It's a really nice apartment in a safe neighborhood with easy access to the miraculously clean metro.  

On my way here I had a short layover in Frankfurt, Germany.  Thanks to some German roots somewhere down the line, all of the attendants spoke to me in German until they realized about ten words in that I didn't understand a thing they had said.  Nevertheless, this little American girl finally felt cool after spending several months trying to fit in despite everyone immediately correctly assuming that I was a foreigner.

Also, Gross-family Google+ "Hangouts" are the coolest.  Here's mom showing off her fresh produce straight from the garden!

Off to the beach! Haluego!
