Hello friends!
As I write the beginning of this post, I am sitting at Starbucks, enjoying a cup of coffee. And not just any coffee. I am currently savoring the wonderful flavors of the Guatemala Casi Cielo coffee. Does that name ring any bells?? Yep, that’s where I got the name for my blog! Thank you Starbucks, for providing me with excellent coffee and a suitable name for my recorded memories of the semester. :)
Before coming to Starbucks, I stopped at the post office. On Thursday, Maria gave me a notice from the post office that I had a package that they tried to deliver, but it needed a signature to be delivered. So I got to see a little bit more of Madrid, since the post office is north of my apartment, and I had never been that direction. But it was very easy to find; I’m getting better at navigating in this city, despite the inadequate signage of which I constantly complain. It was also easy to pick up the package—just show my ID and it’s all good. The package was a lovely surprise from my wonderful sorority sisters. It’s amazing how I can feel the Delta Love even when I’m thousands of miles away from school! There were several sweet notes from my sisters and the awesome bid shirt from our recruitment in January. I am definitely excited to get home, see my sisters, and meet all the new Deltas who accepted bids in January. Love you girls so much!
After working on my Spanish homework for three hours at Starbucks, I came home and relaxed. I got to Skype with my family for a long time, which was good, especially since I haven’t talked to them since Monday! Tomorrow I might go to the Rastro (the big market), so I’ll let everyone know how it is!
Until I post again,
Much love,
Elizabeth
