We have a little over a month before we go to Spain. once again I'm really rather nervous about this. But Upon talking to my parents, who have been to Spain a couple of times, they insure me that the people are friendly and after a few weeks there I won’t want to come home. Spaniards have a tendency to use a lot of olive oil in their cooking. That is because  olive trees, particularly in the south of Spain flourish.  Something I’m most excited about is that I will return home from Spain, dark, skinny(from walking, and healthier more evenly distributed food intake) and fluent! My dad, who speaks Spanish advised me to push through the language barrier even when it gets discouraging, that’s the only way to become fluent. With this looming adventure on my horizon, I can’t help but be a little excited. It’ll be interesting to see my growth as I submerge myself in the culture of Spain.
