Hola from Espana!
Excuse the Spanglish, but I’m excited to have made it to the country where I am at least familiar with the language from my high school and college studies. A final word about Portugal first, well…it’s too hard to say in one word just how special my first week was, but I was truly touched by the kindness of so many I met in Lisbon and the Algarve. I’ll be saying “obrigada” in gratitude for a very long time!
Transport has been tricky since last night. The past twently-four hours have been filled with some train track miscalculations and a few close calls with catching buses, including one episode I will forever refer to as “The Miracle at Huelva” when the one hour time difference in Spain almost kept me from missing a very important ride. (Someone is REALLY looking out for me…) Anyway, two bus rides later, I’ve finally arrived at my destination for the next few days, probably through Sunday or Monday, in a small town in the mountains of Andalucia, near Aracena, and only an hour from Seville. I will not be writing more from here, and instead will be off enjoying the beauty of this countryside. It’s pretty cold here, colder than usual, but I’m hoping for a few hours of warmth or sun over the weekend to get in some hikes and walks around the region. And lots of writing, reading and catching up on sleep…have a good weekend!

Kelly, I look forward to learning more about the transportation troubles, but I certainly can wait. Enjoy the weekend. Don’t forget to take some photographs – don’t forget, “a picture is worth…” Love, MAA
