One week from yesterday, I will be leaving my happy time here in España. I can not believe it is happening. I love the culture, the people and the family life here so much. I have truly learned a LOT about children and I do not mean this in a weird way, but actually look more forward to having kids someday. I adore the passion these parents have for their kids, especially my host parents. In a way, they remind me a lot of my own parents but with a different "flare" I guess. I love how even when the boys talk to their Mom in Spanish, she always responds in English and they know exactly what she is talking about. It is so cute when I talk with them because you can literally hear them "thinking" about the vocabulary and how their eyes look straight at you looking for the approval when they say what they want in correct English. Mario is even learning a perfect American accent and he´s only 7, it amazes me.
The way of life here is so much more relaxed than at home (well unless the fútbol is on!!) and people just are not as tense. I really can not explain it any other way. Speaking of fútbol though, it has been THE TIME OF MY LIFE being here for the World Cup 2010 and Spain making it to the final for the first time in history. I will definitely have to update the blog after Sunday, July 11! All of us girls are going into Madrid to watch the game on the big screens right outside one of the fútbol stadiums. It is going to be loco!!
It is going to be a bittersweet weekend and next few days. My outlook on life has already changed for the better and I just can not wait to see more of Europe before arriving home. ♥
