My favorite song! - listen to it while reading my blog :)

Other fabulous ideas!

Just to add to the excitement, I have decided to also travel to Palma de Mallorca! I cannot wait to go to Spain this Saturday, can you tell? I have been spending my time online finding tickets to exotic destinations :) My pilgrim spirit has resurfaced!!!! I always thought I must have the heart of a gypsy, because I am as restless as these nomadic people :) So my darlings, on the 26th I will be flying to the island of Palma for 2 days, and from there to Granada for another two days.

My godson wrote to me and we might even meet in Pamplona this Sunday! How amazing would that be? He is driving from France for the running of the bulls! hahaha I must say, I have a most adventurous and fun godson - wish I could find a husband like him!!!! :) :)

I also spoke with my dearest high school friend Gabriela who is extremely happily married to a Parisian lawyer, and it appears I might visit her soon - probably in December? :)

What else? Oh! My friend Anita also called me yesterday, so I am off to California for the Labor Day Weekend - Aug 31st-Sept. 3rd.

Yeyyyyyyy I am thrilled with my new plans of fun and adventure!!!!!

Back in Philadelphia

My dearest friends, happy 4th of July! I am back in Philadelphia, not too sure what to do and where to go to celebrate Independence Day... I will probably go watch the parades and fireworks downtown and maybe even a special concert! Will think of something exciting! :)

My classmates are invited to give an interview to a Spanish newspaper today. They might also attend an event at the US embassy in Madrid. Wish I was there....

I was finally able to resolve my ticket situation, and I am leaving to Spain this Saturday at 5pm. The only sad part is that I will be missing the trip to Pamplona and the running of the bulls.... sob sob sob Perhaps I can make it next weekend!

For the past six centuries, the Spanish have held the festival of San Fermin involving bulls, dancing and copious volumes of red wine & sangria. The celebration is dedicated to Pamplona's Saint Fermin who was killed by bulls that dragged him through the streets, reportedly after a few too many sangrias .... Don't wanna miss this phenomenal event!

I have decided to spend my last weekend in Granada, which is supposed to be una verdadera maravilla! This city used to provide trade links with the Muslim world, particularly the gold trade with the Sub-Saharan areas south of Africa. Cannot wait to see the Moorish architecture styles, so well preserved at Alhambra - former residence of the Muslim kings of Granada and present home to a spectacular collection of Islamic art. Looking forward to my trip!

Change of plans

Hi everyone, after a long, tiring day, I was finally able to book my ticket. I am leaving to Philadelphia today at 1pm, and to Spain next Saturday. I will write more from the States. Hugs!
