After driving down to the Indy airport, flying to Atlanta, to Madrid, and then to Pamplona, I am finally here. There is a large time difference here (I'm sure everyone is in bed right now), so I lost hours of sleep crossing the Atlantic, but I think I caught up last night. Let me just say that it was really nice to have a bed. I think I will like it here. There are mountains all around the city, snowcapped and beautiful. It is easy to get around (walking/buses) and I'm sure that there is enough to do to keep me more than occupied. I met my flat mates and found out that I don't have a room there until the 4th of February (when one of the girls is moving out). But, I'm sure that the university will put me up until then (except today). The girls showed me to a hotel (how to walk there) and I checked myself in. Hotel Avenida is nice: small, but nice. There is free wi-fi internet here, so I am using it to talk to you. I met a girl from the US who is studying in Pamplona too on the plane, she seemed nice enough (I'm ashamed to say I don't know her name). I took a taxi to the apartment, and the driver was really nice, we talked about things (where I'm from, Pamplona). Then I walked from there to here, leaving my big suitcase at the flat. This morning I have an informational meeting at the university at 11 (it's now 9) and I will meet the owner of the flat this evening with the other girls who live there.
Well, hasta luego,
Erica

Erica, You sound much more rested and ready for your day than I would have thought. I want more details when you get time to e-mail or use a calling card. You know, a blow by blow report of how it went after I dropped you off. Probably will wait till you can say more about your flat and classes etc. I do want you to type out your address again in an e-mail, just to verify, exactly how I should address an envelope (do they have somthing like a zip-code?) I have something to send you. Love, Mom

ReplyDeleteHi Erica. So glad you blogged so soon. So glad you are safely there. I'm looking forward to seeing pictures of the town. If you e-mail Katie, she might be able to tell you how to put them on the blog since she puts pictures on her blog all the time. I'll keep praying for you. Can you understand the Spanish of the Spainairds? Love, Aunt Debra
