my dad just told me we are staying in the alfonso XIII when we visit sevilla. how gorgeous! (how extravagant, ooph) but also how exciting, to keep seeing such beautiful things and to spend a whole week seeing them with my familylove!

every time someone tells me i sound like a little mexican speaking spanish, i feel both embarrassed and proud. embarrassed that i sound noticeably different, but proud of my history with the language and those ties to home. being abroad is amazing amazing of course, but re-connecting with and learning more about this language is absolutely why i feel that i am here - what i love the most about being here.
