    Saturday. Alright, well we had breakast at 10 and after that I was so tired I went back to bed for a while. Later I went for a walk around the neighborhood and stumbled across a Corte Inglés, which is a big (BIG big) department store type place where you can buy just about anything.

    So here is it: My first ever blog post!  I'm hoping to make this blog a "vessel of reflection", recounting my experiences as I set out on a journey across the globe. You see, I have decided to embark upon a semester abroad (many thanks to my friend Andrea for convincing me that this was not an opportunity I wanted to skip).  Where, you may ask, am I going? Well, for my first extended trip …
